What we are eating and what's eating us,Friday!
Jean,I too hear my mom coming out of my mouth,LOL! A member here wrote a post about her life.and negative things about her mother's personality. I remember thinking at the time how she was describing herself to a T!!!
Indeed, my patience and tolerance to people has changed. I try to think twice and act once,as to not go negative and challenge that person who very well deserves it. Each time I have done this,it has been rewarding for me. If I am called names,like a liar and such,I find that people who know me consider the source. The bottom line,we are not going to accept unequal treatment from anyone,at least that's how it works for me...smile.
Girl!! I am so happy you are enjoying foods you could not eat while you are on "bancation",heheh,I made a word, band and vacation,ahh sometimes I kill myself with my humor!! You deserve some guilt free eating while you can,you know it is not going to last. I do think you told me you missed bread,perhaps toast,so I am so happy for you!
It can not hurt unless you let it. Like the old joke about the guy who goes into the doctor's office and he says "It hurts when I do that" (_________________) insert whatever,then the doctor says,"well don't do that!" The point being,you will not eat these foods when you are banded again,so you won't "do that" anymore....GRIN!
I have no idea what you can do with that fruit,unless you can can more,put a nice ribbon on it,and give it,or donate it during Christmas time,or a bake sale,or a shelter,maybe in a food bank,but I am not sure what their guidelines are.
Have a great evening dear Jean.

B - cottage cheese, Kashi, raspberries
L - green salad and cubed ham
Liquids - enough to float the Queen Mary
Yesterday I paid the price of not eating enough - it makes me shivery cold. At 7 pm I crawled into bed wearing terry cloth pants, one of Tom's long sleeved shirts which go to my knees, turned on the electric blanket and mattress pad to HIGH, and slept like a log. Oh such a sexy get up.
18 more days until the GI doctor can see me. So far I don't have any of the dangerous symptoms, just don't feel quite right. These doctors over book and seldom have fast openings. Our emergecny room is a joke and a last resort.
When I start to get angry I recall one of Mom's sayings "would you rather be pissed off or pissed on?" Yes, it puts this into perspective and I smile ... and wait.

LOL! Anette,sounds like your mom was a card. Her witticisms can not be matched.
Hmmm,sorry you got cold. As for sexy,I think Tom will just think he was being punished for last weeks actions while you two visited relatives twice. Poor Tom...LOL.
Annette,I am learning to wait and wait. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to do nothing. I have told you before that I have always fought my emotions,I am getting so much better.
Nine times out of ten,the demented person whom I am so important to,shoots themselves in the foot...hehehe.

Right on Sista - I too put up with a lot of crapola to keep from making a fuss and drawing attention to myself. I am much better about stating my needs now. In fact I told my PCP Thursday just what I thought about the neurologist her group referred me to. "I do believe Dr. M is a pill pusher, as every time I have a visit with him, I leave his office with no less than three scripts that I never fill. He insists my problem is rls. From what I've heard others say, rls is jumpy legs. Mine cramp. None of the meds he's had me try have worked. Tylenol PM seems to work better. He insists I need Ambien or Lexapro or Lunestra. I admit to taking Lunestra on very rare occasions." Boy, I was on a roll and didn't let her get a word in edgewise.
OK, on to food for the day before I fly out heading home in the heavy rain.
B - 1/2 serving grits and 1 sausage link
S - protein shake
L - chili with cheese, 1 hard boiled egg, 4 cheesy poofs (in the words of Eric Cartman of South Park)
S - none
D - baked chicken, some kind of veggie and salad
S - who knows - probably ham and cheese or some kind of meat
