I stayed up late and fell asleep with the Science  channell again the other night.

I thought I would write this little tid bit down, since they summed it up so well int the show last night....I woke up and this great little show was on telling about the different stages of starvation.
I will have to search the TV guide for the  program.. Iwant to find all the info again.

Ok this is what happens...


First stage....you havent eaten enough in the past 24 hours. Your brain is signaled to send a chemical that effects your nerves...It make you want to "hunt for food".

Ok, so you didnt find any food. 
Well your brain then turns the body into super conservation mode.
It shuts down all the non essential elements that make you super awsome. You go into sleep mode.

Ok so you still didnt find any food with your primal senses just turned on.
Your body signals to eat some of what it has on hand.
Thats YOU!!   You really need some protein because essential cells need to reproduce and are dying....so it goes in for YOUR muscles.
Thats OK...you have enough meat to last you for a little while.
You cant go below 50% though....after the 50% is gone....well your number is just up, and   The whole system dies.



ONe good point the show did make was that Ocassionly reduction in calories does slow dow the cell process...and that causes them to continue the process over a longer period of time....which means you actually Last longer.
You stay young longer!!

So my goal in the rny is to last LONGER!!!
Well my point with this is to remember AFTER the RNY to get enough to eat!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont want to start to go into the second mode.
If I hit the second mode then something is wrong...In my Opinoin.
PROTIEN PROTIEN PROTIEN!!!! VIT ViT VIT.
WAter...water water.  LIttle bit of carbs!


 

I swear I am having all the fears and anxieties I had when I was pregnant!!
 I remember when I was pregnant and waiting for the babies to arrive. Right before they were to come into this world I started cleaning like crazy , noticing everything in the house that wasnt right and I fixed it.
Made sure everything was perfect for the time.
Thinking of things that I never ever would have thought of on a normal daily basis.

Well I am in that mode again.
I am guessing Im responding to something that is going to be a life changing event.  Even maybe a life and death situation. Praying that all will go well with the RNY's.


I have felt this before. And now having looked back on having my children, all the pain and prep was worth it. I would never ever exchange them for anything in the imagination. Yes, sometimes we struggle  but the problems get worked out...and we move on and enjoy eachother even better!

I am hoping that will be the case with this surgery.
I will look back at this post and remember!

I think I might have found Eggface from the friends in low carb places website I use to be at...untill I had decided to do the RNY.

I have always loved her recipies...
