Happy Friday Cali!!! TGIF

hmmm, I never thought about that....relax!!!  That is such a good idea Rhonda....lol

Jeni - Good Morning to you!!!  And, it is a good morning.  You are anything but a failure!  You recognized the problem and came to the board for support and encouragement to get over this hump.  I gained 5# from stress eating.  I caught it, recognized what I was doing and have taken the steps to get rid of it.  You're doing the same thing!  

Took the old man to the doctor yesterday.  He got his staples out and sent to PT 3X a week for the next 4 weeks.  First appointment is at 8:30 on Monday and then we can make appointments for after I get off work. 

We then went to go see the new Harry Potter movie.  It was good, just not as good as the others.  and Long!  I'll se it again tho!

I actually made it to bed before 10 last night which is good because today is shaping up to be a busy one!   Taking the kid fishing tomorrow and Sunday is a day at the lake planned!

Stay hydrated!

I understand how you feel about being a failure. I feel like that all the time. I did this surgery and at almost 6 years out (tomorrow in fact  ) I am nowhere near goal and have gained weight. I have tons of stress in my life but I am trying hard to get back on track. I try and make good choices and exercise some everyday. I walk to and from work everyday and just try and move as much as I can. I have a better quality of life today than I did 6 years ago. I can now walk and not pass out but I would love to be able to run. The crossroad that I am at now is do I continue to try and do this on my own or do I try and get a revision to a DS. I don’t know but I do know that I have to try something.   Nothing planned this weekend for me. Just trying to stay cool and hydrated. Maybe some laundry and then church on Sunday.   Everyone have an awesome weekend!!

Just a quick hello from the Inland Empire.  Today is a short day at work.  Summer hours gets us out of here by 3PM on Friday's.  Yippee.

Hope everyone has plans that they want for the weekend.  For me, just some shopping tomorrow and then a baby shower on Sunday.  Might get the old man to take me to the movies Saturday night if I can find anything I want to see.  I'll have to check.

Well, everyone have a beautiful Friday and a stupendous weekend.  Be sure to do something nice for yourself that makes you happy.  When you are happy and content, your loved ones all around you will be as well.

HI Jeni and Cali Crew,

Jeni, you are not a failure, you came here for support and that is what I like about the guys and gals on this board. We are all here for you. I agree with Rhonda, try the 5 day pouch diet. I know, when I get a little weirded out, I just do a protein and water liquid day and that seems to help me. You can do it, we are here for you.

Going to Ikea today, on to see  Jackie717 at the hospital and finish up on the centerpieces for my daughters wedding.

Love to all of you, have a great day and make someone smile, you will feel so blessed.

Hugs & Love,

Karen

Good Morning Jeni and Cali Friends,
You are NOT a failure and all of us have been where you are at or are at that point now.  We just need to do what everyone else is saying on this post and that is get back on track.  It is easier said than done, however, we shall prevail because there are so many supportive people on OH. Best wishes especially on your way back to the wls journey.  You can do it.  We can do it!
Hugs
Terry

Good morning Jeni & Cali

Jeni, as you can see, you're getting tons of support on here....you'll pull through this.

Not much going on in my neck of the woods.  I'm at work today, to this kinds bites the big one.  Hopefully I'll be able to catch a movie this weekend.  Other than that, I think I'll just do nothing.

Have fun in whatever you do

Good Morning all..

Jeni do not be so hard on yourself.. You are just like the rest of us.. at times it is a struggle every day to keep on track. Just remember how important it was to have your surgery and why it was important. Start your day making the right choices and go from there.  I try not to look at the long haul but take it a day at a time and try to do each day right by your surgery.  You are important to your family and grandkids and you are worth it. Take good care of yourself so you can be around for a long time with a healty body.

Not too much planned for the weekend, just trying to stay cool.. Enjoy your weekend all.. Lori W

Good Morning Cali Crew,

YEAH it is Friday. My 1st of 4 days off. I don't have a lot planned. I have appointments with my trainer, and of course the gym on the days I don't see him. Need to clean the house, that seems to be an everyday project.  I am going to see Harry Potter this morning. I have heard mixed reviews. Oh well, I am sure I will like it enough. I hope everyone has a great Friday, and fabulous weekend.

Good Morning Jeni and Cali Friends,

Jeni, please don't beat yourself up, you're certainly not a failure, you're a success because you had WLS and were blessed with a tool.  Sometimes we forget how to use the tool, but it's there and we just have to use it.  I echo what everyone else said, but I am a huge believer in journaling my food.  Download a free copy of Fitday and start logging it in, you'll be amazed.

I am waiting to hear on my car and what it's going to cost to fix the air conditioning.  Just can't live without air in the summer and heat in the winter, so it's gotta get fixed.

More job searching today and probably a visit to see my father-in-law.

I hope everyone has a great Friday and do something kind for yourself.

Hugs,
Barb
