Eatin' Good......What a Wednesday!!

I had the intense pleasure of hosting several beautiful women at my home today and eating bites of all the goodies they brought.  We had such a good time that we need to plan another one of these.  I desperately want to meet those of you that couldn't come all this way...so the next one we plan could be more central or southern in order to get to meet some more.  Heck, before long, I could be traveling all over this state just to meet you all!  Wouldn't that be great?

These ladies know how to par-tay and I was exhausted when they left to go shopping...but in a good way.  I loved hugging and talking to each of them.  My cat has done nothing but sleep since they left, so they wore him out, too! 

The Damage....

Outta bed....coffee

Lunch....bites of (1 or 2)....chipotle pork, chili, parmesan crisp, deviled egg, baked beans, sf caramel apple salad (yummy)....later a bite of sf apple pie and sf pecan pie.   I was stuffed....(I'm sure I tasted more, but can't remember....it was all so good!  We'll have to post recipes later...k?)  I find it funny that we all eat so little and cook so big...

Later....banana and protein bar

Of course, now my tummy is yukky....shouldn't have eaten again.  Dummy.

But I am on track with my water and vitamins and totally ready for bed.  I probably won't try to eat again since the protein bar is sitting so heavy on my belly.

How did you all do today?  Deb..(Pooh)  I noticed you still aren't eating...I am worried sick about you.  Friday can't come soon enough.  Make sure they don't let you leave without giving you some answers...I can't wait to hear what they say.

Love you all,
Peggy

I finally did get to eat a hard boiled egg today and about a tablespoon of chicken n dumplings, No dumplings just the chicken and broth. But hey this was a great day for me. Course i had my coffee and i have drank tea today. I really need to drink water but its so yucky and i can't stand chrystal light. Maybe i should try some sugar free koolade. The G2 is good grape flavor i might get some of that, at least it would be better than drinking tea. I really hope they have some answers Fri especially about the weight gain ,i am getting so depressed and thinking this was so not worth it if this is the way it is gonna be.I started back on my paxil yesterday so maybe that will help some with the depression. Glad to hear ya'll had a great time.Wish i could of been there. Maybe one day,
Love and Hugs Deb

They told me if I drink Decafe tea or decafe coffe would be same as drinking water so that is what i ahve done since my surgery 15mnts ago decafe all the way and splenda worked great for me so maybe you can try that . Good luck girl

Do you take water pills or did you before maybe you should check into that with dr. just thinking out loud

Love Karen

Yes i was taking lasix before surgery but they had me stop them after. But i called this week and ws told i could start taking them again until my appt Fri. I lost 4 lbs the 1st day but nothing since. And i take 40 mg . I really don't understand why i was down to 212 and went up to 224 in 4 days. I am so upset it is unreal. Thanks for resonding .
Love Deb

Deb, Walmart has Alpine spiced cider mix, its sugar free, just add it to ho****er and it is good.15 cal. and 4 carbs for a lg. mug, I put a Cinnamon stick in my mug also.....vesta

That's a little better than before and hopefully you will get some answers tomorrow.  The weight gain is not normal so there is something not quite right.  I figure your body is trying to go into starvation mode since you can't eat.  The surgery will be worth it, we just have to get you better.  So many were so sick at the first, and I'm sure they will tell you it was worth it in the long run.  I'm glad you are understanding the depression, too....you've had a rough couple of months.  You take care and keep us posted.  I worry when I don't see you.

Big ol' hug,
Peggy

yepppeee...I get to post to this one...I ate really good today...tried everything that the wonderful ladies brought today...Im soo tired after meeting all of you girls.
Peggy...thank you sooooooo much for hosting today. I had a great day and everyone was so sweet. I cant wait till the next one...I just loved all the great hugs...lol

You're too cute....thanks for coming, I enjoyed meeting you, too.  And wow, aren't they a great group of huggers? 

Precious Peggy! 

I made it home about 9:00 p.m.  Sad to say I did not keep one bite down today but I was just way way too excited... and I guess I just can't do excited and food at the same time.... I'm so incredibly sorry. 

I want you to know I feel like the Lord gave me a day to hold on to for awhile..... He showed himself real to me today!  So much behind my statement there but I just have to tell you for right now  that I so hope the Lord blesses you in a wonderful special way!!!!  You were a simply fantastic hostess!  I just can't seem to say it how I feel it ..... but I want you to know I appreciated your efforts more than you could possibly know!

I have more to say on the subject but for now I have to go to bed 3:30 was a long long time ago!!!!

I love you dearly!
