What a bummer that those people are dragging out the sale of the house. Odd that they are doing things to it but won't finalize the sale.
I'm doing well with eating. My rule for office food is don't eat it. Most of what is brought in for meetings is bad for you. I always think about people handling things like cookies and brownies and no telling when they washed their hands. I got in a bad habit of eating this and that and many times I suffered for it. My pouch doesn't like sugar.
Glad it's Friday.

I cant wait to visit with you on the 15th. I have been really sick with no voice, sore throat, headache so I have been eating way to many bad things to try and make myself feel better and of course the scales are going up. I am thinking about doing the 5 day pouch test starting on the 18th. I cant wait to see everyone and hopefully get some good ideas to get these 10lbs off. Of course I need to go back to reality that the weight will not stay off if I don't follow the plan.
Thanks, Raynetta

Working at home today - no outside meetings. Picked up another foster dog from the shelter in Columbia so will be keeping an eye on this youngster today since he was neutered yesterday. He's a cute, sweet, friendly, playful english pointer pup (6 mos). Beautiful thing. My dogs are getting along o.k. with him. Mostly they handle fosters well, but this guy is pretty high energy, so we'll see.
Had my 1 month plus checkup (almost 7 weeks now) and everything went fine. I'm down to 196 on my scale, doc's office has me at 202. Said I'd lost 16 lbs since the first checkup (2 weeks out). Was suggested to start weight lifting to help lose faster as well as to tone me up. Guess I'll be checking out the YMCA. Just wish I had a workout partner, that would make it a lot easier for me.
Will try some Unjury protein that I ordered yesterday after advice on the board here. Boy, I just can't seem to stomach the protein drinks. Maybe with a "chocolate" flavor I will do better.
Nothing else exciting here, will take down tree and Christmas stuff this weekend. Had a great visit with family and friends for a 3-day rabbit hunt and then took our "kids" to a hunt farm and let the niece and nephews shoot some chukar and quail. Dogs had a blast!
Ya'll take care out there.

Hey, Chefsmom....good luck next week! It's totally normal to have these doubtful feelings at this point. This surgery is as much mental as it is physical...just follow the plan, it's all in the book you got from Dr. H, and use us when you need to...and when you don't! The first few weeks aren't easy, but that's what support systems are for! Good luck!
Topic: RE: Support Group Meetings
That's what I think my "problem" is...I used to go every month very faithfully. However, over time, the group became not as much support as what I was looking for....I think it's mostly an age difference. The people that were there regularly were an older set, say 50's to 70's, and I'm in my 30's. It's not that I don't appreciate the differences, there's just different problems to face...I'm still trying to raise my 2 kids, they are mostly retired, fixed incomes, etc....Plus, I don't want to step on anyone's toes...the lady that started our group here is wonderful, I am just hoping to find some post ops that are closer to my age that want to hash out our daily lives, learning needs. And like you, I love talking and educating the pre ops...they just don't always realize everything they're signing on for! Plus, I was 105 pounds at my lowest, obviously not where I wanted to stay, but now, at 130, I'm trying to stay put, or even lose a few...I know it would be a whole lot easier with a group to keep me accountable! Ahhh...the webs we weave!

Finally having a guy coming out today to cut the two tall elm trees in the front yard. ...they have gotten so big in the last 10 years that they are dangerous. one of them leans over the top of the house and wouldnt you know it it is the one that is split in the trunk...hope it isnt too cold for the tree trimmer. But he promised he would be here unless it is extreemly windy or storming...
well papers to be signed were postponed again. im getting really tired of this , dont understand what the problem is for signing those papers......i just wonder what ....maybe they dont have the down payment money that could be. I called them and they wouldnt answer their phone. I told them in a message that if they didnt want to buy it they can still rent but will have to be more than the house payment they wanted because if we rent it there has to be enough to pay the insurance and taxes..they dont seem to want it now but they keep working on it lo i also told them that if they dont want the house quit doing things to it as if it were theirs....told them i cant repay them for any of it.
today was day two on the all liquids ...i did cheat a little i cooked a deer roast and just had to have a bite of it ...but that is what i had just one tiny bite. but am feeling a little lighter lol ....dreaming i think but got to get back into those 10s....sure wish when they operate on your tummy they did something to your brain too.
well kiddos got to get to bed ...it is already 2 am and i hope i can sleep tonight. good night peeps

Good evening Jan and MO. It has been another good day for me. Part of me can't believe I've actually made it three days. I had gotten into so many bad habits but that was then and this is now.
So did you get your rental house papers signed today? How was the rest of your day? I know what you mean about the eyes. I need to go to the eye doctor one of these days cause even with my glasses I'm having trouble reading some days. How's are the liquids going? I'm not sure I could go all the way back to only liquids that's one reason I've never done that 5 day pouch test. I'm sure you are doing great with it. We can all do this if we stick together and support each other.

i know it is hard to imagine but the main thing is that you no longer have a large stomach to fill up instead you have one the size of an egg....you would think you were starving to death if you were only allowed to eat what we eat after...dont worry you will have a hard time even getting everything down that you have to...i know it seems crazy but it is the truth....i wouldnt change having my surgery for anything in the world... but it is a life long commitment....protein, vit supplement and lots of water....so it isnt a get skinny quick scheme......good luck on the 11th you are doing what most people do before surgery , doubt your decision...but if i had to do it once a week i would....

I know going to meetings helps me stay accountable. I can tell when I haven't been to a meeting for awhile I do not stay on track as close as when I go. As time passes my needs have changed but just talking about my experience with pre ops helps enforce the rules for me. I still have questions and will always want to talk to others going thru the same issues.
