Annette,you shared that before,and I respect you so very much,as I would have been in jail. That woman does not resemble the woman you are today,and you managed to raise strong women.
I know the pain never dies. I am a 12th stepper,and it tells us not to regret the past,nor shut the door on it.
I guess mine's blends with who I am today,and who I will never be.
I value loyality,and once broken,it is gone.
You are a wonderful,strong woman,and I pity the fool who gets in your way.
When I am upset,you are the voice of reason in my head.
If you want me to kill your ex,just say so...
Smile...

Today I am going to hit my protein requirement goal:
B-1 piece of turkey bacon, 1 poached egg.
S-Osyters from a can
L-the rest of the snack osyters
S-peanut butter in a spoon
D-boiled egg and green beans
S-boiled egg
I haven't calculated my food for the amount but if I don't hit 60 gms of protein, I'm going to shove more of something down my mouth. 
I did order the unjury sample packets to see if I can tolerate it.  I have an appointment next week with my pcp.  You know, even after wls, I have hated getting weighed.  Even when I knew that I was dropping pounds, I still felt apprehensive about getting on the scales and most of the time, I didn't look.  Now, I am still apprehensive and still won't look, so when the doctor comes in and starts talking about bmi and how I need to be here and I'm there, I still, like you LInda, cannot reconcile that I am being scolded for the underweight as opposed to the overweight.  However, my doctor doesn't really get as mean to me now as he did when I was obese.  In fact, his attitude is quite different. 

I'm happy you are feeling better.  It surprises me that I haven't had problems other than getting dizzy and passing out a couple of times.  I also take my vitamins and calcium and iron supplements.  And, I eat a lot of vegetables and fruit and after your scare, am including meat on a daily basis.  My B-12 must be good.
Have a good day.

Yep Jean,when I looked up the B12 chart,there was one that said basically,meat and dairy had B12.
I am happy to see you are eating better,our bodies become devastated easily,since WLS,I have felt like my body has no reserve fuel.
I will look more closely at my labs.
My doctor rocks,but I did fire the one before her,as he did not know jack about my surgery.
Please continue to recover.

Dearest Linda, so sorry I don't have time to be around more.  Hope you are doing lots better.  As always, you are in my prayers and thoughts.  I was hoping to find an update on our sweet Connie - any word on how she's doing?  Can't be on here long, I'm at work and they've been catching people playing on the 'puter doing nonwork related things.  GRRR

B - protein shake
S - 1/2 banana and a yogurt
L - baked chicken and red beans
S - protein shake
D - probably Wendy's chili (we're going to Ethan's ball game after work)
S - ham and cheese

Have a wonderful day!
Debbie

Hello dearest Debbie,believe me,I have missed you,I also worried that you fell under the wagon,and am happy to see you have not.
Since ours is a disease of isolation,I always become disturbed,thinking a member is in the closet eating....smile.
Connie is recovering and doing her best to keep her protein up.
I am sure she will pop in when she can.
I hate when a few at work spoil it for everyone,it happened at my job place too.
I love your menu!
Holla when you can!

Morning to you, sweet girl. I hope that your hump day is so good that you would like everyday to be hump day. Even if it isn't possible and never going to happen. ha ha

I am tired this morning. I went with my sister to her doctor appointment and sat in the waiting room, then we went for a early dinner and then spent about a half hour in a dollar store. I so love dollar stores that is for sure. I am not sure why I am so tired this morning but I think a infection is really working on me again. I just really want for this mess to gone and over with. I know that it seems to be running my life but I am truly so tired of this mess... I just want my health back and a normal life. I am waiting for the visiting nurse to call and let me know when they are coming. I have a different one today and Friday because Erica is having a graduation party for her daughter and she is getting ready for it. I am so blessed to have her as my nurse...she is so good...and as she says...she is very anal about keeping everything as clean as she can and passes that on to Carolyn and Heidi. I had a couple of nurses that I kind of questioned on the keeping things clean and doing some things just a certain way.

I did eat pretty good last night at the restaurant. I ate seafood and so that was good...I do so love seafood. And boy am I happy that I can eat it and it sits well.
B: nothing
L: nothing
D: crab and shrimp along with some mushrooms...and I had some watermelon for dessert and a couple pieces of banana in orange juice
S: nothing

So....I may have not had much during the day but I got my fill for dinner. When I left I was comfortably full and it lasted me all night.

I am sending love and hugs to you...and thanks for being there for me....I am saying prayers for you everyday as you well know...they go up a lot during the day as all my prayers do. Plant the seeds of happiness and joy where you go and then in the end the seeds will sprout and the happiness and joy and enter someone else's life....that is a good thing.

                    It's not what you gather, but what you scatter 
                        that tells what kind of life you have lived.

Hi dearest Brenda, am happy to hear you spent time with your sis. I too love dollar stores,but I always spend too much when I go,LOL.
Do you think the infection is zapping your energy?? I hope they can get rid of it once and for all!! You are blessed to have a visiting nurse,my insurance has nothing like that,and I pay through the nose.
Now Miss Brenda,there have been a few days of skipping breakfast,and now you are skipping lunch. This can make you tired,for your body needs fuel,I know you know that,but sometimes we need a gentle reminder. You are not doing your blood sugars any favor for sure...so please,try eating at least a slice of cheese or something when you are not hungry,so you do not go too long without food.
You are in my prayers,please let me know when you go to the doctor's and what he does about that darn infection!
Love and hugs!

Good morming Beautiful Linda.....

I am doing okay. I can now get in and out of bed myself and tend to my needs. Of course that is with either a walker or a wheelchair. You know how much I must be liking that!!!!

My best friend, Pam is a Physical Therapist here so I am getting treated really well. I am  not good at keeping still so this is thw hardest thing for me.

No point in listing my meals....I never know what it will be!! Breakfast was aBoost High Protein Shake and a banana.

I am glad you are doing better. Prayers continue to go your way. We are tough and we can make it through all this crap for sure!!!!!

Love you much....hugs...Boo....to you!

Boo!! I am so happy to see you as always. I know it is hard to be inactive for you...
I hate my damn walker!! It is good to hear you are being well taken care of,you deserve it. After we rule out a few more things,and I pass a few more tests,my knee surgery will be scheduled,I am hoping to go see my brother before then..smile.
Doesn't matter what you are eating,as I know you will do what is right for you.
I think eating well can become 2nd nature,I know I feel funny when I am walking on the edge...smile.
Take care sweet lady.
