Hi Kathy,

Sorry I forgot all about posting yesterday. It has been hell here lately and if I could spill the beans about it here I would! I am just afraid "someone" would find out about it and that would be the end...so close oh so close!!!

Congrats on the New waffle maker!! Yes they can be oh so good!!! I have so many new cooking gadgets and never tried them out yet...silly isn't it? I guess with Rick doing most of the cooking why bother.

Pot Roast is always good when it is tender...YUMMMM!!!!!!!!

As for walking...either I am getting old or I am getting lazy and my bones are not letting me move anymore I just can't walk like I used to!!! Scares me to pieces!! I walk Bandit a lot around here. I walk around showing apartments. I guess that is not enough anymore. And this weight I have gained since mom passed away is probably a good part of it too. I hate myself for this binge eating junk food. I can't stop it either. My teeth are even going to hell because of the candy eating!! My depression is not getting better I guess. I just don't care anymore about anything. And having so called friends that I thought would be there for me...hahaha that didn't help either. Oh well...I keep writing in my journal and maybe one day I WILL get better!!!

Wish you the best on your stress test. I think if I went for one they would admit me and throw the key away....

Oh...I mentioned that I had my WLS 10 years ago...it was back in 2006 so that makes it 12 years...well it will be come October 17th.

Went and got my hair cut yesterday. It sure did need it!!! I don't even color it anymore since mom passed. The gray is coming out now. WOW!!!! Oh well...

Sorry for being such a downer today. Just in a bad mood I guess.

Whatever happened to Lightswitch? She was so adamant on running this board and scared what was left here off...just wondering.

OK time to go back to FB and play my games and try to get happy...

HUGSSSSSSS

Thanks Judy! I know what a life long struggle this is! UGH! But God willing my future stomach will tell me to stop eating more than eat, eat, eat!

Honestly, my psychiatrist put me on Low Dose Naltrexone for appetite control and if i ever begin to gain after surgery i will definitely ask for it again. It is a lifesaver and more people should know about it. My husband thinks i should just keep on it till i lose all the weight but i know in my gut (pun intended) i need more help than that.

Thanks for your encouragement !

Hello Everyone!

It has been a busy week with finishing up the closet...I painted the last few days, Jazz started back to school and our usual day to day activities.

Went yard saling yesterday morning and found quite a few items. One was a brand new Belgium waffle maker. Jim loves cooking and had never tried Begium waffles so he bought the maker. Bad thing for me they came out delicious. But that will have to be a special treat. By the time I added bacon and eggs for protein I ate half my calories for the day!

I made a pot roast with veggies today to take to my mother in laws for dinner. Cooked in crock pot and it was SO tender! Everyone raved about it. I definitely followed my meal plan today...little victories!

I have become obsessed with my fitbit I got this past Christmas. I guess it is good in terms of tracking my walking, but I have yet to do 10,000 steps a day! I know it would be easier to do if I was still working, but most of my steps come from doing stuff around the house, shopping or doing my daily walks. And apparently thats not enough...ugh!

I go in for my 2 day stress test this week. I haven't had one since my 2015 WLS. I am anxious to see the results bc I think my afib is progressing. Will see what happens.

Well that's my 'news' for the week. Sure hope some others post, too.

My sister had VSG in October 2017 at age 65 and she is doing fantastic. I am 63 and am waiting to be scheduled for my VSG as i have done all pre-op requirements. Keep me posted on how you are doing.

Prayers for good health,

Susan
