I will definetly mention this to my gastroenternologist.  Thanks !

Been a rough 25 days for me.....still not feeling good. Don't see my doctor again until the 27 th and he is a gastroenterologist.....they are thinking my problem might be WLS related.  Who knows ?   Just know I don't have any energy (I have ALL the symptoms of mono) and some secondary problems and food tastes like bile...that bad food taste is fading some, but nothing tastes good at all.  I have lost 11 pounds....now that in itself should tell you how sick I have been....I am the typical overweight person that doesn't lose weight when sick.

my plan for today is still survival mode......drink as much water as possible to stay hydrated ( I usually drink about 100 oz. a day). Not lately, though.

breakfast was a small serving of breakfast casserole

lunch......macaroni and tomatoes (at least pasta taste half way decent)   Green beans

dinner.....pork and noodles if I can stand the taste........I never know until I put it in my mouth if it is going to taste good or bad.......everything sounds good but......most of it is bitter, bile tasting

i hope all of you have a great healthy day !!

Yea.  Almond butter.... I used to make some with almond flour, but that was way too complicated. 

One day i just used almond butter (to use some that was getting old). And the results were very good.

You probably can use splenda as sweetener.

Btw - skip the sweetener - add savory like salt pepper, ground caraway seeds - i you end up with a bread like buns..for sandwitches. I typically make 4 dozen...i can whip that out in 1 hour... 

I'm sorry for the grief your son is giving you and your husband. That's some bad heartache when you can't change someone you love so much. 

He's also not following the rules to make your mamma happy.

I hope things are calmer soon,

Deb

Thanks for the hugs...very much appreciated and needed.

Normally I have "go to" things to do, like you've suggested.  They've worked for me.  With my son's decisions and actions, they aren't working.  It feels too big.  I feel so sad, hopeless and helpless.  

I don't really have "bad" food but I'm overeating on the "healthy" foods.  Still.....overeating is overeating.  Emotional eating is emotional eating.  No excuses and taking responsibility for my behaviors.  

My husband and older son are wonderful, work is great as I am very focused and happy with what I'm doing.  It was during the weekend and then evenings after I get off when I start thinking and worrying about things.

I'm going to pick up some "legal" dessert type of items plus the ingredients to the recipe you shared in your post.  I have two of those muffin top cookie pans so I'm set with those.  I'm going to get them after I post this and make tonight.  

You're so right - emotionally eating is going to make me gain which I will feel horrible about.  It will only add misery and personal disappointment, along with physical discomfort to what I'm already dealing with.  I need to be stronger than the hurt and anger from what he has done.  

I hope I'm not babbling (LOL).....I took each of the parts of your reply and gave each a lot of thought and obtained strength and inspiration. 

Thank you so much
