Boy Jeanette - you sure hae been through the mill!! I really hope this is the answer for the time being - get you to a healthy weight again. What is the long term plan - will you be able to eat eventually? Hugs, Nancy

Yesterday: 1500 calories and 30 minutes exercise, all water and vitamins. Today begins another week, and I am absolutely dreading work. I love the kids, but the teacher that I primarily work with completely stresses me out. Not only does she dump the bulk of the work on me, but when she's in a bad mood, the tension in the room is horrendous. It truly is a toxic environment, and I'm trapped. Here's today's menu: B: toast L: wrap, cottage cheese, crackers D: mini-pizzas (homemade) S: ? Exercise: plan is for 30 minutes Pamela

Yesterday was pretty good, except I overdosed on pumpkin seeds... I was trying to find some "legal" to snack on... I guess my personality won't allow me to "snack" as I end up grazing or overdosing.... The scale is UP today!!! Of course, I've got the blues about it.... We won't discuss the lasanga I ate on Friday... This weight thing is no joke. You've got to stay on top it!! Today, I'm doing all liquids... we'll see how it goes.... Hugs! Denise

Hi Karen!! Saturday was pretty good, except I overdosed on pumpkin seeds... I was trying to find some "legal" to snack on... I guess my personality won't allow me to "snack" as I ended up grazing or overdosing.... Today, I doing all liquids... we'll see how it goes.... Hugs! Denise

Hi all!!Many of you have asked for me to keep in touch and give an update from my last post a couple weeks ago when I was home from revision surgery!! Well....things are still very "delicate". As I said before Dr put in a g tube into my old stomach and I was attempting formula thru a syringe as instructed. That did not work and when I saw my PCP this week I am again dehydrated and remain malnourished,. They now have continous feeding going thru a pump( 20 hrs a day****il I can get to 2000 calories. I continue to lose weight and my labs are a mess but I am now more optimistic with the pump feedings. My "new" pouch is VERY grouchy and I am only able to get in if lucky 2 ozs of pureed 2xs a day and I have to force myself to do that. I ordered and went back to all chewable vitamins to help in that area. I went on to a yahoo group complications board and granted it is a very low % of people on there but others have similar problems. Again I say I never have regrted having WLS because if I did not I would not be here today. Thanks to all for well wishes you have been sending!!!
