I have never heard of slider food. I think that what happened to me last week or so. I kept eating cottage cheese thinking that would fill me up and it didn't. Then I thought that I broke my pouch and only to find out I was eating slider food. So these food are not being very helpful and its make me feel like I am failing. When I eat cottage cheese I will have something else with it....don't know yet what...maybe tomatoes, gotta think about this some more. Thank you for who ever mentioned slider food and my pouch isn't broken. Let the losing continue!!

I after shedding 40 lbs I thought that when I went to Project Linus that people would noticed that I had lost some but no one said anything to me about it. The 1 lady who I thought would wasn't there. OK our next meeting will be in Aug and hopefully some one will be giving me credit or a pat on the back. I know I can't depend on people for the pat on the back....I just have to call my daughter because she is almost always saying what a good job I am doing.  Going to apply for a part time position, its working in the evening which I like because I can sleep late in the mornings and by evening my back is OK. This position should be a good fit for me, now I only have to get them to see that.

I can not believe how fast these 2 months have gone by. I have lost 20 lbs before surgery and another 21 post op so a total of 41 lbs gone forever and 6~1/4" I am happy and being a light weight this is just fine I'm happy my Dr happy my daughter is thrill and hubby is happy.

The only problems I have been having is: I can eat eggs at lunch time but when I try to eat them for breakfast its a no go and I am on my  throne and plenty of pain. Today I decided I wanted yogurt again I have no trouble eating it for lunch or snack and again I am on my throne and plenty of pain so I guess eating any "normal" breakfast food right now is not in the picture and its back to protein shake.

My hubby pulled a fast one on me we went food shopping and there was a cake by E****men by 1 get 1 free I thought he walked right by it but I see it came home with us and he puts his treats up on top of the refrigerator thank goodness I am short. He knows I don't want that kind of food in the house but he loves his sweets and he is type 2 so he shouldn't have it either.  I am going to be strong and not look up.

I walked 1 mile for the last 2 days but not today the body wasn't up to it but doing 1 mile for 2 days I was thrilled it had hills and valley and flat in some places and I wasn't out of breath!! Now for me that was awesome if I do say so myself.

yesterday I went to an all day scrapbooking day. Everybody were suppose to bring something to snack on and to share and bring your lunch. Which I did but what I wasn't counting on was that i would want to munch on something which I didn't bring. I had my protein and drink and was satisfy with that and plus I had stayed longer than what I planned I was on a roll and left when I got hungry for dinner. What I really think was happening was my eye was seeing all the goodies: chocolate, M&M with peanuts, strawberries, cheesecake, cupcakes and lots of chips. I was being tempted and held on tight. Had dinner at home and stepped on the scale this morning and was holding onto the last numbers. No gain and now I just have to hope it doesn't catch up with me tomorrow which is my "official" weigh in day.

I received a phone call from hubby he was told by his Dr to go to the ER d/t his diabetes having low blood sugar. That was at 2:30ish went to his work picked him up and took him to the ER I wasn't expecting that we would be there until 10PM Did plenty of tests lab, chest x ray,CAT scan,MRI, EKG, pulse OX did I miss anything, not sure if I did or not. Everything was "normal" and they sent him  home, he sees his Dr on Thurs. In between tests he slept and I had a book with me to read but I forgot to bring an protein drink with me. I waited to long to go to the cafe and the coffee shop was closing in 5 min I would never have gotten there in time so only the vending machine was left. It was a hard choices since you can't look at the back of the package to see how bad it would be. I finally picked a veggie base crackers and chew it to almost nothing..I am on soft food. I had no problem, no reaction. I didn't get my exercise in at all yesterday so I stepped on the scale very softly and I lost a lb since Wed. OK put maybe tomorrow it will show an increase hope not. So exercise and drink plenty of water and hopefully it won't catch up with me on the scale on Sunday.

I had a dream last night on 1 side of my head I was bald...no hair!!  Then I had a nasty comb over, I don't look good with a comb over. I don't know why I had this dream maybe because I just gotten my hair cut? You know what I did when I first woke up...check my hair, just a bad dream, thank goodness.

While in church, I just had the urge to cross my legs, not the ankles, after debating I finally agree to try it so glad that I talked myself into doing it. I was comfortable and sat that way until church was over. I can't remember when was the last time i cross my legs. Oh happy days.

 I can see myself living a better life within the year, but why wait till then? After losing 10 lbs I felt like I was living better, I had more energy (weird I didn't have the energy when I was at this wt before) and I notice "things" are different such as when I have my seatbelt on my stomach isn't sticking out as far, my shelf is smaller when I am sitting and I want to put my arms on top of my stomach it is now not comfortable to do so...so I measure by how my body is doing. Found out that walking early in the morning isn't good my body not ready to walk but in the afternoon I am fine to walk the 20+ minutes. My daughter takes my picture every Friday I still don't see the change so I just focus on what is happening with my body and I feel better just doing that. I have no problem with adding food but not egg in the morning for breakfast it didn't like it so its back to liquid protein which is fine with me I can eat the egg any other time in the day and no trouble. And then there is Pete, my dietitian told me that our body will make alot of strange noise, she calls them dragon so my dragon is called Pete. I never know when he will start "talking" and when he does man is he ever loud. How embarrassing. Oh well if that the price to pay in getting healthy I can put up with Pete. Have a good day!!

I have no idea of what I ate last night that I spent time in the bathroom because I have eaten eggs before and no problem so I guess I should lay off of eggs a little bit longer. This morning instead of having a protein drink I had yogurt and again I have been eating yogurt with no problems I guess my stomach likes to drink in the morning and not having yogurt so I will switch back to drinking for breakfast and yogurt at an other time during the day. So, what I am getting out of this is that my body liked the way things were before I tried to change the different time of day in eating. Breakfast will be protein drink and put yogurt back to dinner or after dinner snack. Or this morning it could have been a reaction to thinking about coffee, I didn't have any but the body react to my thinking? And I still gotta remember chew chew chew. Hopefully the rest of the day will be fine.

I don't know why but all of a sudden since Fri I have been having alot of gas pain. I haven't changed my food. When the gas hits man I could double over some times in pain walking helps and sometimes not. It is frustrating when it hits. And then there is my loud stomach noise. LOL my hubby thought that my stomach was hungry nope I just fed it. I was told this is a dragon in me so I named it Pete. Gee, now I am talking to my self. Pete pops his noise maker up at the worst time....like in church when it is super quite. Can you say I turned red. I guess its time to eat so will the gas pain wins or will Pete win, so much adventure to live through. I hope both will stop, it would be horridable if they will live with me forever.
