Good Morning Janine and Cali,

Well the first week back is coming to an end and it's a shame that I am looking so forward to the long weekend.  Just a quick note as I need to get in a bit of a workout and have to run an errand before work.

Everyone enjoy the day

Good Morning Janine, and Cali,

Thanks for thinking of me Janine.. That is so very sweet.. I am doing GREAT so far this morning..  Had a little bump in the road last night, but am doing so much better, and hope to NEVER feel like that again..

I am going to try and BRAVE  the world outside, and go out with my DH to the store.. I will walk from the car to the store and then ride one of those little scooters around.. Hehehe  (hey ya gotta do what you gotta do..   I am just suffering from 4 wall syndrome..  LOL  I gotta do something.

I hope you all have a GREAT DAY!  And just think ONE MORE DAY TILL TGIF!! Woooo Hoooo!

Love and Hugs to all,

Jenn

Heads up...Grocery stores can be a littel "depressing" right after surgery. When you enter it...focus on the fact you are there to only there buy stuff to help you in your new "healthy" lifestyle.

Even more interesting....and sorta depressing.  Take the time to look and see what is in other's peoples baskets. A bunch of crap and junk food.  If you see someone who has only healhy stuff....admire them and realize you soon will be just like that.

Good luck. First time I walked into a grocery store after surgery... I wanted to cry.

toni

Oh Wow, I didn't even think of that...  Thank you so very much for the "heads up" Toni..  I will be sure to keep that in mind, and bring some tissues too.. I know I have to face it sooner or later, so even though I may get sad, it will get better and easier the more I get into my new healthier lifestyle.. (That is my hope anyways.)

Have a great day hun, and THANKS again..

Hugs,
Jenn

On the opposite view..I found grocery shopping liberating.  First of all..since I was limited to what I could eat the first few weeks..my husband did the shopping.  He'd ask me what we needed.., I'd say, "I dunno...whatever you and the kids want to eat"..I had no idea what was in the house for more than 2 months.  Today, our 27th wedding anniversary will be the first day we've shopped together..lol 
I felt liberated because I had NO desire to eat the junkie foods anymore..still don't, although I have indulged in crackers lately...no no no no..smacking head...NO!  I do look in other's carts and my heart breaks when I see some of the stuff folks are still putting in their's and their kids bodies..I hurt for the chldren and the obese nation we might be forming.  I succumbed to the fast food stalker for much of my adult life, and my kids are paying the price...hopefully we are changing tactics in time. 
When you are back to comfortable eating, you will be surprised at just how darn tasty natural, healthy foods are..heck..I eat FISH..I NEVER ate fish before this life change..except shrimp or lobster swimming in butter..lol
Our education and medical knowledge is just a  God-send at this time in WLS history..it can only get better....and our CHOICES, ...well, we are a lucky lucky community!
You are doing wonderful, and I see you emerging from your crysalis!

Kim in Fontana

Oh Kim, thank you so very much for sharing that..  I am not quite sure how I will feel, but I know that it is something that needs to be done.. I have 5 children who depend on me, and I hope through my journey, that I can help them become healthier and happier too.. Making good decisions as a family... I know that they will still eat some things that I may not be able to, and that is okay,  but as you said there is an ever growing problem with obesity in our children, and I want to be aware, and help my children just as much as I want to help myself..  So it is not just a lifestyle change for me, but for my whole family...

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HUN.. May you have many more to come.. (((HUGS)))

Have a great day..

Jenn

Happy Anniversary.

Monica
