My DH had essentially the same reaction as yours about my lack of enthusiasm about eating. We had a discussion after he made a few remarks and he was fine after that.

Nothing much new here, except spending lots of money on our house, ugh. A roof repair today and then later a repair to our French doors leading to the backyard. I HOPE they can get it fixed--I had one quote for $15,500 to replace it--my jaw dropped. A second quote for $7500, which still shocked me. In the past, we usually just moved, lol, before we had to do major repairs. This house was new when we bought it in 2009....but time passes. Weight is holding steady. I did gain back about 5 lbs, on purpose, and feel like I'm at a good place right now IF I can continue to maintain.

Liz, good to call the vet. If Justice had molars pulled it would be normal for him to be experiencing a higher level of pain than if the vet pulled a loose incisor. I would hope that Justice was sent home with a "****tail" of Gabapentin and Carprofen. If not, please request. The moaning could be residual from anesthesia. Very common in older dogs for them to moan/whimper coming off anesthesia.

The most concerning to me is the lack of drinking. Sub Q fluids may be in order and would not hurt him in any way. Something you could request.

Thinking good thoughts for your little man.

I do love movie popcorn so much! In different weight loss scenarios I would bring something more "appropriate" to substitute, but one day I thought forget that, I'll just make the popcorn work in my eating plan. And I lived happily ever after. :)

Down 17 pounds and a new NSV for me, my collar bones are becoming visible again! Yay!

Poor Justice. I hope the vet can give him something to make him feel better. All my dogs do is sleep after having cleanings/extractions so Justice not being able to sleep is concerning!

CC, glad your Dad has the meds he needs on board now! My Dad could be stubborn like that as well! We had to fight with him to get him to shower once a week! Glad you enjoyed the Twister movie!

Another hot day here. DH and I have dinner plans with another couple tonight. DH is getting a little frustrated with my lack of wanting to eat. 'You've changed" he says. Kinda like CC mentioned about her parents, DH likes that I'm losing weight but misses his let's go for ice cream friend or let's indulge in this or that friend. Hardly anything sounds good anymore so I'm always turning him down! I do tell him to go ahead and go get ice cream if he wants and I suggest picking up ice cream at the store so he can indulge if he wants. I guess it just isn't as much fun when you don't have a partner in crime! Personally, I'm loving not having those strong urges! First time in my life I can say no and not feel deprived!

Time to make my iced protein coffee and hop in the shower! DC 1 is visiting. Can't afford AC at their place so is resting in the comfort of ours! DS3 will come home for dinner tomorrow night. He only lives 1 1/2 hours away but we see him the least! I will miss the kids when we move! I love hanging with my adult children!
