Wise words. Thanks for pointing that out.

So sorry about this big life change, that is never easy even if it is the right thing to do. You were very smart to do that type of self care.

Today's productivity is loading the car with more stuff to donate. The house is feeling better with this purging. But I can't let go of my fattest fat clothes, I don't trust this weight loss yet. But I am packing them away in big plastic totes.

QOTD: As a pre-op Klondike's were 'meh'; post-op I tried the sugar free ones...not tasty to me. Now...if we were talking about a fudgesicle that's different. I can manage a skinny one. Maybe I'd hem a pair of pants for one? Or not. lol

Either I'm forming a stricture or my pouch (who will be 20 in December!) is protesting my stress because I can't eat much lately. My frappe-style protein shake is fine, liquids are fine but pretty much everything else must be nearly puree or a slider. Too many bites and I get nauseous. It's fine, I'm not even hungry on Contrave. But, my body is protesting with another plateau. Brat.

B: Genmaicha (brown rice flavored green tea).

L: attempted green beans and well chopped imitation crab with 1 tsp butter and 1 T G. Hughes bbq sauce. Got in about 3 forkfuls.

S: a cup of homemade chicken broth

D: Going to rejig my protein shake to remove the caffeine and add a little coconut oil to help my fats today.

LS: A bottle of Fairlife chocolate protein shake.

I can't have a Klondike bar, but I used to love them. I can eat lactose free ice cream once in a while. But I would love to be able to stop and get an ice cream cone sometimes. Just not worth the risk of dumping.

QOTD- Nothing, sugar and milk is no bueno.

Not much going on here, I thought we were done with the 90+ degree weather, but it's coming back this weekend. At least I don't need to worry about my clothes drying on the line. In the summer I much prefer to hang my clothes outside, I love the smell and the crispness.

Ok techies out there my work computer just started showing widgets on my lock screen. It says it's 34 degrees with a cold weather advisory, Happy MLK Day, markets and traffic. How do I get rid of these? Obviously it's not 34 degrees nor MLK day. I've searched and been unsuccessful. Any advice would be appreciated. I really don't want to create a ticket to have our IT contractor help me. Yes I am one of those weirdos that prefer a pristine home screen, no icons no shortcuts...

I need to get to work.

Have a great day everyone!

Good mornin y'all.

My appointment this morning was canceled due to the building being flooded with six inches of water. Ugh. Wanted to get that out of the way! We'll see when or if it gets rescheduled soon.

I am feeling very rough. I don't want to do anything. I'm thinking we'll go to Sam's. I'd rather stay home but my mom is getting stir crazy

QOTD: I've never had one so nothing lol

B: egg, cheese and a pita half. Coffee

L: ???

D: burrito.
