What we are eating,and whats eating us,Saturday...
This has been my pre=op stage, so have been doing this for a week, surprised myself from staying away from beef and sugar and candy bars. I have stayed true to his diet, amazing.
This week I've been running around getting clearance from cardio dr, pulmonary dr. and respiratory dr.
My dr, pcp, is also my pulmonary drs and states why have they not giving you the surgery yet, he just shakes it head in surprise. he said they sure drag their feet why didn't they just give you all this information months ago n have it done then, even he has gotten annoyed with them.
I told him why, the cordinator was mad at me,because I had complained about her not returning my phone calls. n probably put my folder back into the file.
o well, another step closer, I still have to see the nutritional nurse on food and exercise. I don't even have a appointment for that yet. I'm so annoyed to say the least. hopefullly this will be the last stall, in all this stupitdity. after that blood work.
If any place was, going to give me another stroke, this place will.\
anyway, I'm venting, sorry.

Have been missing you.
Good day for me the last two days. Almost the same food both days. I had gotten a little heavier than I want to be, so I cut out snacks. Just about completely.
B - Omelet both days.
L & S - Turkey meat loaf Thursday
Beef meat loaf Friday
both days with corn and peas
Cheese snacks, plus 10 pretzel sticks each day.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
Hope you are doing okay, Linda. Please take care.
I haven't had breakfast yet. I'm trying to find protein that agrees with me. Went to GNC yesterday and bought protein "shots" in a bottle. She said they were very popular with gastric bypass customers. ICK and double ICK! I couldn't even get one of them down. I also bought some chocolate protein you mix in water or milk and that wasn't too bad. Feel like I wasted money. Oh well, guess it's trial and error at this point in the game. Can't wait until Tuesday when I can finally have pureed foods. I've been hungry since I'm getting bored with eating Greek yogurt and protein drinks.
Well, enough complaining - lol -
My daughter is in from New York and I'm having fun spending time with her. We went shopping yesterday and I treated her to a couple of outfits she needed that were semi-casual/business. She is attending Columbia University in New York in their social work program. She needed the outfits as she will be working in the field with clients. We're really excited. Today, we will go to visit my other daughter and grandson. I'm so happy when I'm spending time with my girls. Love it!
Food was alright yesterday. I had Kayden allllll day...and let me tell ya I was tired. He got here about 7:20 in the morning and left at almost 10 last night. On top of that he is sick but he still is in good spirits. He is such a good little guy. Always smiling and grinning at me.....
B: Wheaties and milk
L: chicken
D: salmon and grilled veggies
S: who was awake enough to eat one of those...not me!
I am glad that yesterday is over. I got up early since I went to bed right after Kayden left. I felt like I was in heaven when I hit the mattress. I woke up before 6 this morning and now I am getting tired again. I will be back to bed before long I know!
Have a wonderful and blessed day. I am sending love and hugs to you and saying prayers for you and yours. Don't forget to share a smile with someone.
It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.

I stayed home all day...my legs were hurting the last few days which is amazing considering that I've LOST weight so that was'nt the cause of it....I think it's still from being on my fett the entire day Wednesday on hard floors and Im still paying for it.
I slept in this morning and then spent several hours studying then went outside and plucked tiny dried leaves off some more of my dried summer savoury bushes. I now have about two glass quart jars filled with that wonderful herb for my poultry dishes(especially turkey stuffing) and soups. Summer savoury is hard to find here but alot more common in the Ottawa Valley where I come from. It got rather hot out sitting there on the verandah and the mosquities weren't being shy either.
And now Ive totally ruined my new manicure by working with all those scratchy branches...oh well....not the end of the world...just that we have a birthday party to go to Sunday for JBs oldest sister...I will have to hide my nails *s*
JB brings in pears from the garden...mmm..they are so flavourful..also nectarines too. But I still want to get peaches to make jam and purees.
B Matrix hot chocolate protein drink
S none
L 2 slices of extra-lean ham wrapped around a "finger" of old cheddar and pear slices..wow..tasty!
S a piece of turkey kolbassa
D baked chicken fingers (homemade), one bite of sweet potato, and sliced tomatoes
S watermelon
