keeping you at that plateau. How much sugar does that muscle light protein drink have
in it. Might not be the best choice. I know you are on the run so you like the pre-made ones, but, I am not sure they are calorie or sugar free. Just thinking out loud here, not
a lot a room to talk as I have gained this week after losing 25 lbs since february & now
up 6 according to the Doc's scale. I took water pill today & hopefully will pee out most of the re-gain. It got real hot here this week so am blaming it on that & not what I have
eaten, which is not much. Too much coffee & not enough water, but, so what else is
new with me.
I bet you start losing agin next week & see a big loss. soon.
Very Good Indeed!! Take a day at a time & sometimes just minute at a time & he will be back to normal very soon. Don't forget to rest along the way, too
so you can take care of him during his recoup stage.
I am sure he will keep relaxed lots better at home than the dumb hospital. They are
good to apoint then time to get home & your own bed.
I went this A.M. to get simple Xrays on my back since the MRI was denied for various reason. 1) being that regualr xrays were not done. So went & got them taken
no problem, right!! An hour later I get a call from my Doc's office saying I _MUST go
to ER now as they found something on the Xrays. No one bothered to tell me what, only I had to go NOW. So got very scared thinking they found some kind of cancer or growth or just had all kinds of stuff going thru my mind on the ride over there. I get
there & they say why are you here? DAHH If I knew I would tell you. They do a
CT scan of myback find nothing. Do lab & uranalysis & the only thing that was found
a very minor urinary tract infection (beginning stages). So there is some good out of this, but, scaring the crap out of me was not good for the BP or stress at all. They still do not know what the Radioligist saw on the Xray that would cause so much panic, accept my thinking is he/she might not know I was an RNY patinet and saw the bypassed
stomack thru the Xray & did not guess on what it was. I am on antibiotics for the
infection & that is good before it got way out of control & calmed down now, but
spending 4 hrs in ER was not a fun day for me. Just needed to vent a little. hope
you all had a better Thrusday then I did.
Thanks you guys, I defnintely needed that. Aw Pammie thanks! I just wish I could've lost more when I was supposed to. I'm really getting antsy and frustrated now. The darned scale isn't moving or budging at all!!! I hardly ate anything yesterday. Here's what I had:
Breakfast:
Protein drink - Muscle Milk Light - 100 calories
One Kiwi
Decaf Coffee
Lunch:
1 Papaya
1 cup chicken noodle soup
Snack:
Protein bar 210 calories
Protein Drink - Muscle Milk Light - 100 calories
DInner:
Veggies and one beef jerkey
Snack:
Animal crackers (4) Don't normally eat the carby stuff but I was sharing with my little girl so I had to. :)
That is it. I tried to eat less so that I would see ... SOMETHING but nothing changed. 'sigh' grrr...
I know my calorie intake was low. I did have milk in my decaf probably amounting to about 200 calories or so. so i know it was around 1000 for the day or around there. I think the fruit did me in a bit lately. I've been eating alot of fruit and I think my body is just locking onto that extra sugar. I think you're right maureen!! I'm going to do a day of protein and skip the fruit. I've been eating alot of yogurt lately. But can't imagine that hindering anything since its lite and only 45 calories each container. I think it's the fruit. I really do. That and exactly what you said...that my body is just wondering whats going on. I gotta kick start it again. Today will be a protein day! :) Thanks for the support guys!!! ((HUGS!!))

And everyone....Thank you from my heart...I do appreciate everyones kinds words and prayers for my husband and also helping me stay sane.
Thank you....

because i had done well instead of seeing her monthly i am down to seeing her in 3 months. i go in june. i was suppose to go this week but because of work plus i've not gotten the blood work done (cause of work) i had to postpone it. she needs to see that blood work before i go in. so i go friday for that.
the really key thing here is that i've been feeling so good i felt comfortable postponing that visit until June.
i'm still not 100% but i do feel like i'm inbetween 75 to 89% thats pretty good.
I no longer feel like I need to walk around my condo with the telephone in my hand. I no longer need to carry a snack in my pocket when I' min my own condo! I do and will always have to like a dieabetic carry some kind of snack in my bag with me in case i get an episode but hey thats ok i've always had snacks.
the things i'm looking forward to doing again is dancing. i miss that so much! my boyfriend and i use to go every single week dancing. we love swing dancing and he would twirl me around and around. but i can only do one twirl now anymore than that makes me sick to my stomach and dizzy. no six flags rides for me! thats a down fall of LBS. At least now we can go dancing again! I can't do every single dance like before but it thats coming. I don't tire as easy as I did I'm getting my energy back but i'm only about 50% of my energy.
I was very HIGH energy before. Hyper time. I know where my son got it!
It felt very good to walk again tonight. it boosts my energy it also boosts my mood and helps to make the depression not so bad. I'm not highly depressed more like down which is a part of LBS too. but I can feel a big difference when I walk those endophophins (whatever hormone it is! hahaha) kick in!
I only did 15 minutes tonight. Last night I did 30 but tonight I was tired. I went to my BF's grandson's birthday party and had one slice of pizza. I am not suppose to have white flour only wheat. so today I was more tired which could have also been somjething that went alonjg with not having the cottage cheese last.
Geesh sometimes I feel like a scientist! The doc said that if I listen to my body remember or write down what I eat and how I felt before and after that I would get to the point where I would know exactly what would happen and what casues some of my episodes.
whatdaya knowshe's right!
I recommend homeopathic to everyone now. I was skeptical years ago but not anymore.
-- I remember those plateaus and what worked for me was to shake things up! Try going a day without any protein at all - just fruit and veggies; or a day with nothing at all but protein - but just one day! Just to shake your body awake and tell it that you're the boss, you're directing this show... lots and lots and lots of water! Keep moving! If you do these things, you have to keep losing. Ok? Don't give in!! Your mind is looking for an excuse to FAIL!!! Don't, don't, don't give in. Dear God, please lead my wonderful, beautiful friend Elizabeth past this momentary, singular hurdle... Love you, sweetheart. Maureen
