Good afternoon menu friends!

I'm slow going today but have actually got a lot done. Sheets washed, clothes washing...we also got groceries.

We found out yesterday that w have to have the main toilet replaced. Ggggaaaahhhhreat. We also have to get the kitchen sink line cleaned as well. All together over 1000 bucks. I'm paying what I can and we'll have to pay it off Monday. I could only give 300 because I got paid today. It is what it is.

I feel icky right now. Not sure what's got me feeling icky eigher. Laying low for a bit.

QOTD: I do it sometimes in the summer but often forget about it all together.

B: pita half pocket sandwich and coffee

L: other pita half with hamburger and cheese, Cheetos ugh.

D: probably an egg, zero net carb small tortilla and maybe some feta.

pics!

Blueberry will be wonderful. Enjoy the blueberries. I have been diabetic since I was 39. One thing they caution you is to never be barefoot. A tiny cut could fester and cause you to lose a leg. When you are diabetic wound healing is very slow.

Good morning, everyone!

Well, my tooth is broken all the way below the gum line, so I have to get it extracted and put in an implant. That is about a seven month process. It's what I was expecting, so I can't say I'm really bummed out or anything.

I did just make it into the office, so I better run. I will probably keep my food pretty soft today. And I will ask Jennifer about Connecticut River murders and answer QOTD tomorrow .

P. S., it's Lollapalooza, so not exactly quiet in the office today.

I joined in 2003 when a friend had RNY and told me about the site. Back then it waq very busy and a lot of people had lapbands and seemed to be sick and vomiting everyday. I finally saw a weight loss surgery doctor in 2007 and he said that a lapband was not what he recommmend for me. I had RNY in October 2007.

I was very active on another site and very successful with the weight loss. But at 30 months I started gaining back. My surgeon told me that would happen but it was so depressing to not longer fit in my clothes. The site I was on was really focused on selling their protein shakes and some of them were awful. te I found good and bad advise here and learned who to communicate with and who to ignore.

I was trying to eat like a "normal" person with meat, vegetables, and a starch at every meal. Lots of pasta, noodles, or mashed potatoes. Lots of home baked cakes, pies, and cobblers, and ice cream. It did not make me sick, it just made me gain weight. I finally got control during the pandemic.

I joined Weigh****chers Online. They were developing their new program and I was part of helping to test it. With that program I finally got all the excess weight off and sometimes doctors want me to gain more. My goal was 136 and I got down to 118. I am 126 and that is a good weight for me. I learned a lot from this site and a lot from Weigh****chers. This is not an easy journey but still glad I had the surgery and got control of the weight.

For now, I went very low end off of amazon to see if I would even like it. If I get into the groove of it then I can upgrade with a higher end. The brand is Hartwares and so far I like it, just trying to get the right rythm and form so I don't cause any injuries.
