Thanks so much ladies for the words of encouragement! I never thought of it that way Kathy - that each hoops jumped is an accomplishment. I will try to adjust my thinking. I went to my nutritionist this morning and since starting the Victoza (for diabetes), and quitting McDonalds a little less than three weeks ago, I've lost 9 pounds! That made me really happy. I will try to find a way to refocus my "freaking out" energy into something positive. I'm really happy to be a part of your group.

Checking in, but keeping it short and sweet. Eating was so-so today. Started out awesome. Ended kinda poor. Got hungry right before bed and caved in on some stupid carby snack...duh on me! No walk today, but did work alot around here, so that helps some. My guts are absolutely KILLING me! I am feeling more sure that I have an ulcer each day. It was bad for about 2 weeks, then passed for about 2 days, came back mildly for 2 days and today it is just killing me. Did make an appt with my bariatric surgeon. It is time for my wls follow up (3 year) anyhow on July 21st, and he is a general and trauma surgeon as well as a very experienced bariatric surgeon, so if there is an ulcer, he would take care of that, and has told me there will be no fix aside from surgery...period. NOT laproscopic either. Open surgery. Not how I want my summer spent (recovering from a surgery), so I may put it off until October or so, if I can stand it that long. Somehow I doubt it tho. I just cannot imagine what else it could be to affect me this way. Will keep you all posted.

Hope you all hAD A GREAT DAY

I absolutely LOVE the way you always seem to be able to make the best of things. You are a wonderful person to have as a co-leader for that reason, among many others! Also a wonderful best friend.

My evening was busy. Assisting with garage work. All fixtures and outlets now hooked up since the texturing is done. Began clean up around window ledges so I can tape off and begin the HUGE job of priming and painting that building.

Nice day for the most part working with a nice person on the garage project, along with lots of interesting conversation...some of which I wondered about . Don't care much for the wondering part, but thats life I suppose. Will tell ya about by phone when we talk next time.

Gut pain back with a vengance today. UGHHH. Dr appt Wed AM at 11:15. I am fairly certain I will have no answers then, as I will have to get scheduled for a endoscopy and am fairly certain it will not be for the same day. Was hoping they would schedule that, but no go until the doc says he wants to do it after I see him on Wed. I hope it won't be too far off.

The ship was postponed till between 2 and 4 am.  And for some reason, we need sleep, we decided to not hang out all night at the lake shore.  I had a nice long walk with the critters along the water while Dennis waited for the ship.  Supper out at Grandma's grill, table in the bar area with a view of the water.  Got an appetizer to share and had a bite of the hamburger from Dennis' burger.  Nice to be able to take my time and nibble at the couple of bites that I wanted.  Had a nice chat with the waitress, the crowd was thin due to chilly weather.

Got a desert to share for later in the evening.  Two bites of desert sitting on a bench overlooking the water and I was satisfied.

Hope everyone enjoyed their evening as much as we did.  Hugs

The dietician just wants to see that you are making an effort. I didn't lose weight with every visit, just did my best. That is what they ask of you. Just do your best. Lots of liquids as Patrece shared.
