Ooh, sorry hun.  That picture is all telling!

Get that thing removed ASAP and feel better quick.

I must be strange Jean. I cannot fathom opening a box or package I haven't already paid for. If the box has to be opened to make sure all pieces were there because someone has already mangled it, I do it with assistance from an employee. I must be the odd one in that. Course then again I used to work in retail a good number of years. It might have something to do with it.

B: homemade redskin potato spiced hash browns, whole wheat english muffin, egg, fat free cheddar cheese slice, nitrate/etc/etc free sausage patty

S: yogurt

L: dinner leftovers from last night, bacon cheeseburger half with steamed broccoli (i discovered having them take out 3 CCs, i can eat bread again. it was the first bacon cheeseburger i had the luxury to eat in almost two years. i admit it was heavenly. still only ate half though. i'd like to keep off as much of the 150 i've lost as possible)

S: hummus and carrots

D: not sure at this point

S: protein fruit smoothie

 

Exercise: woke up late. going to have to go hop on  a recumbent bike and swim laps this afternoon after i go hunt up a present from the hubby for Yule this afternoon.

As Christmas draws ever closer, shoppers grow ever more anxious about finding the right gift in the right size and color. This has nothing to do with food, but it's a question burning in my mind so I'll go ahead and ask it. At JCP we have granny panty sets of 3 panties in a sealed poly bag. There's a photo on the front of the package to show what the panties look like. So why do customers rip open the package to look at the panties themselves, then toss the opened package any old where and buy the exact same item in the exact same size? Why is it important for them to take home a virgin package? Are they giving granny panties as a gift? Surely not.

OK, I guess that's out of my system. For now.

Today's food plan:
B: protein latte
S: scrambled egg beaters w/ scallions, mushrooms & cheese
S: cinnamon oatmeal breakfast cookie
L: leftover shrimp with tomatillos, polenta
S: trail mix
S: chocolate cherry protein ball
D: leftover steak, braised cabbage & onions
S: peanut butter banana chips

No exercise class today because the store opens early. Sigh.

Have a super day!

Jean

I want to start a new thread "what do you REALLY want to eat today lol

Go right ahead! Could be entertaining!

Thank you for your responses.  True, maybe I will have to accept that I will have to work harder.  I have lost some weight, but not what I expected.  My doc wants me to be stable.

I am soooo sorry you are going through this. A friend of mine had her band erode last year , it took time for her to heal. She lost more weight in her healing process.
Take time to breathe and process it All out. You sound like you have come to terms with this information rather well.
My prayers are with you for a speedy recovery,

Wow! Thanks for sharing this picture, you can actually see some infection, the dots? I am so sorry this happened to you, what were your symptoms? Did you have loss of restriction?, I hear that the most common symptom of erosion.

1st one I came across. LOL
