OMGosh DAWN I AM A TRAIL MIX JUNKIE TOO.  THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF IS THE SWEET AND SALTY TOGETHER IS WHAT IS MAKING US LOVE IT SOOOOOOOOO MUCH.

I WANTED SOME TODAY SO BAD BUT WOULDN'T GO TO THE STORE AFTER IT (GOOD THING TOO).  BUT TOMORROW IS GROCERY DAY, I HOPE I HAVE THE WILL POWER TO JUST PASS IT UP.

I did better on the drinking and eating thing yesterday.  I limited myself to five good size sips, after eating, or while.. then nothing for 30 minutes more.  That's a major improvement, considering I was downing 2 12 oz things of iced tea or half of my 32 oz Crystal Light with each meal (depending on eating at home or out).

Today, cut it to 3 sips.  Figure finish up the week with that goal, and reaccess on Monday, since I Know the body is till trying to rebalance.

And not to do too much TMI, but still trying to regulate the constipation that came with childbearing.  Ugh, someone should have mentioned THAT one!

Heather.. glad the rash is better and the scale is going down!! Keep up the good work and try to keep going strong on the not drinking and eating together.. u and Dawn should do a "did u drink with your meal thread" everyday.. haha.... u2 are both working so hard on this and I am so proud of u.  To this day when I drink after eating I feel like barfing.  I don't know how u girls do it.  My husband has always drank with his meals since early postop... shame on him i say.. but he won't change.  Men, I tell ya.

Sounds like u got good "munchies" preparation is where it is at!  Keep up the good work!
