Topic: RE: Sunny Sunday Roll Call
we got up early and did our grocery shopping for the week already. he's doing the laundry right now. The cat is trying to sit on my keyboard but it is nice to have her close by. Just not that close! I'll relax today, read a book, read the posts. I got that Hormel beef tips in gravy at the store. So much protein and so little carbs or fat - even though it has gravy. And the stuff melts in your mouth! That will be dinner. I can't stand to watch TV so I'll just read and play on the computer. Yesterday I swam a half mile again. It feels so good. And, amazingly, I lost another 2 pounds. I've been losing at a much slower pace so I weighed myself twice but it was true. Sheesh I love this surgery. It really does give us time to develop new eating habits and I'm trying.

I hope everyone is doing well on this nice cooler wet Sunday.

I went to Rite Aide yesterday and got some stuff in a tube called Profect it has 25 grams of protein. They are pretty nasty but no sugar and didn't make me sick. It has no sugar. I got 2 in yesterday gonna go for 3 today. Only has 100 calories so I got to eat too. The doctor said for me to get in at least 1000 calories a day. I hope I am not making nobody mad. I was just so happy when I seen the pounds coming off I wanted more and more till I got carried away. It was hard to stop. I changed my eating addiction to not eating and obsessing over loosing weight. If someone said you are skinny I would think one more pound one more pound. I am the type of person I don't do nothing 1/2 way I go all the way. I made up my mind I am going to live. And I am going to do whatever it takes. If I eat and get sick. Then when I feel better I'll try again. I'm a surviver of many horrible,horrible things. And this is nothing from what I have lived through. So I can and will do it. I want to thank you for your support. And most of all for your care and not bashing me. Most people think it is bragging. It is not bragging it is a call out of care and someone to talk to. Thank you my friend.

Hi all,

We may make it to church today depending on if we have gas and I can get my sweetie up.  He works swing shift and sometimes it's hard for him to get up.  Anyway, I am glad I have him for the next two days.  Two way conversation is important.  Oh, I love my little Jack, but her conversations are a little predictible, potty, snack, food, squecky.  Kind of limited huh?  We will probably grill outside.  He will probably be in the woods cutting down vines and brush.  He just loves the woods. 

What are you up to?


Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

Amy, we have to get some protein and food into you! Do you hate the shakes? I guess if you can't stomach sugar the protein bars won't work for you? Are you willing to try some of them? Can you cook for yourself? is there anything at all that you can eat? What are you willing to start with? You can't just give up. You took steps to regain your life when you had the surgery. That required a lot of bravery and courage. You can do the same thing now. You have it in you. Know that my thoughts are with you!

I have been down in the dumps. I am slowly getting out of it. I went and had my scope. Everything was good. No reason I shouldn't be able to eat. He said I was just anorexic. It was all in my head. But no there was no way I could eat sugar but I could eat other food and not get sick. And said no reason I shouldn't be drinking diet sodas. I have not had a soda in 6 years. I don't see why start now.  Said it was to late for a feeding tube or TPN fluids I had to do this on my own. I got to have protein. I don't know how much I am suppose to have. Back when I had my gastric bypass you only had one visit with the nut. I'm trying I did put on 1lb. this week. : ) 

Thank you for caring.

Not much today! We are actually moving on Monday and I want to go shopping for some new items. Not sure if hubby will agree LOL!   My mom needs to go look for an outfit and I will probably go with her.  Trying to get rid of this headache that will not leave me alone.  Not much on the list today.

Hope everyone enjoys their Saturday.
