Its Wacky Weigh-In Wednesday Gang!

I AM UP 1 POUND!!! =0(   BOOOOO!!!!! UGGHHHHH!! NOT HAPPY!!!!!

Hi Chris,

Yeah on not smoking. That is one of the most difficult addictions to conquer so that is excellent!!

I am down 5 pounds!!!   I was worried when I lost only a pound and a half last week. 

I am having trouble with the night munchies, but after two nights I have recognized me getting into an old pattern and I am hopeful I will stop this harmful stupid behavior.  I haven't been writing my food down or calculating the nutrional info. It's obvious I need to do that.  I am either not eating enough during the day which could indicate real hunger at night or I have nervous energy I am trying to stuff down.  In either case, I need to know what's up.  Not eating enough during the day was a big part of my diet mentallity.  I wouldn't eat enough during the day for fear that I couldn't eat anything at night.  I know, I am strange.

Take Care,

MsBlues

PUt me down for NADA.  Zip.  Zilch.  Damn carbs............ Gonna have to do some tough love on myself and give me a good smack upside my head.

Yesterday I went to do my pre-op appointnent and to get blood drawn.  That went well and the only thing that concerns me is the fact that my blood pressure is 94 / 57.  Hmmmm, even to me, the non-medical educated that seems a tad bit low.  She said that could be why I am so tired and sleepy.  Hmmmm, will keep an eye on it.

I also went to the ZZ Top concert here in town last night.  For a couple of really old farts, they can still ROCK a house!  Yeah, it was very very good!

Today brings me struggling to get through work and then dashing home to clean up my house and get ready for my Pampered Chef party tonight at 6.  At lunch time I have to go to the store and get supplies.  We are making Mexican Lasagne and Volcano Cake.   Then tomorrow am is surgery and spend the rest of the day napping.  I have Friday off as well.

Off and running...................... M

Have fun at your party tonight . . . I used to sell it until I got all the pots and pans I wanted . . . which have now been "well used" by DIL and son's family!  ugh!

Good luck tomorrow with the surgery and get well fast!

Chris

That is some REALLY low blood pressure, momo.... hmmm.... hope they are looking into that...

praying for your surgery tomorrow!!

Good Day to All....

Im feeling tired today but prob cuz i haven't been sleeping until like 4am... stress is keeping me up.  Today brings more fun packing and getting rid of "stuff"  I have too much "stuff" in my life I can't stand it!    Seems this year is for getting rid of baggage... (weight, stuff, and my relationship).

On the good side.. I lost 7.4 lbs this week and I am .4 away from 50 lbs GONE!  (this includes the 2 week pre-op diet since july 2nd.) whoo hoo.  though Im still having trouble eating, according to my surgeons plan i should be on regular solid food now since I'll be 5 weeks out tomorrow, however, Im still having issues with soft foods so Im just staying here for awhile.  Though I did eat 4 shrimp for dinner once and it seemed ok.  Sometimes its ok, sometimes it's not.  My pouch is bipolar I think :)

Have a super duper day all!

Hugs,

Jackie

Wow Jackie,

50 pounds already!! Wow! I think it took me to until week 9 to hit a 50 pound weight loss. That's amazing!!!

I am down 58 pounds in 12 weeks.  I seem to be able to eat more than I am supposed to at this point, but I do only eat around 900-1000 calories per day.  I just ate lunch and feel very full and it was only 295 calories.  In the past I would smell chocolate and digest that amount of calories!!

Great job. I hope your pouch stops being bi-polar on you.

Good Afternoon Everyone -

Well, congrats to those that lost weight or maintained this week.  For those that gaine, get back on track maybe pick up the exercise (I don't know)???

As for me, since I have not posted before for the WWW I will let you decide which number to use and I will just move forward from today....

Total wt. loss to date 38 lbs..  Lost since last week 3 lbs.

Chris - Good luck with your testing, I have had that done before not exactly pleasant.

Jackie - Good luck on achieving the 50 lbs.  Way to go girl.

I will be 6 weeks out on Tuesday and looking forward to incorporating regular foods.  I have had plenty of chicken lately.  Last night was taco meat (97%), & refried beans with a little bit of cheese and salsa and I must have died and went to heaven.  I sure miss taco night.  Looking forward to tacos again even if it means I have to buy the baked shells (ugh) and home made enchiladas.

After walking in about 5 different stores with my daughter yesterday to get many items needed for her cosmetology class today, (which took 4 hrs), I did not go for my walk.  I did however buy me some 2 lb. weights to start walking with tonight. 

My back is still KILLING ME!!!!!  The PA at the surgeons office thinks it's nothing since I am not dumping, or have a gallbladder.  I'll see them next week.  I am at the point where I just want to take pain medication, but then I can't function, go figure.

OK, back to work for 30 minutes.

Peace out.
Annette

Good afternoon all!
