I've been MIA this week. We had to make a trip out of town. Four days in the car and 2400 miles of driving does NOT equal good food choices. ROFL!!! Seriously, I didn't do too bad, except having a biscuit w/ gravy TWICE at Bob Evans (yum yum) I joked with dh that these biscuits would give me three pounds of bloating and sure enough I came home to a 3 pound increase.  Two of those pounds are already gone so I'm fine with it. I also came home with sort of car sickness. My poor tummy is sooooo upset. Yesterday was NOT a good day of eatting.  B - hot chocolate w/ protein L - potato soup and a couple bites of chicken D - McD's dbl cheeseburger and apple dipper S - oatmeal This is about 700 calories and I didn't bother figuring out the rest cuz I just knew it wasn't anywhere near enough. The protein is only at about 45 grams..... UGH.  Well, thank God his mercies are new every morning!!!!!! New day for me and for you too!!!  HUGS

Welcome back Laurie, I can just imagine being on the road for that many miles, I would be drinking alot which is good, but also eating on the road "out" which for me is bad...You're home now? Give it a day or 2 for your tummy to get back to a regular routine and you'll start feeling better... See ya soon... Alesia

Well not the best of days for me. I went to my pcp yesterday for continued problems with my legs. A few months ago my left leg went numb.. now my right leg is doing the same and it is actually dropping a bit when I walk and they are concerned and sending me to a neurologist. Wants me to not do to much exercise as that seems to be when I started having the problems and she also worries I will trip because of my foot.

I am thinking it is either a pinched nerve from the shifting of my spine from all the weight loss or from crossing my legs. She doesnt know but since my family has a history of MS they are gonna check me out. So of course I am a little concerned too.

Yesterdays food was a little on the low side but without exercising I think its ok.

B- protein shake
S- protein bar
L- 3 oz of chicken and some fruit
S- forgot
D- turkey burger from baked ziti I made for the family.
S- ice cream..

totals calories 1047... fat 54... carbs 45 and protein 112

Drank about 80 oz of fluids.

I too had numbness in my leg/foot. It turned into drop foot and I was tripping all the time because of it. WLS said it wasn't surgery related. He sent me to neurologist, went to three different ones. All just shook their heads clueless. After a while it went into my left leg/foot as well.  Finallly - after much doctor appointments (waste of money) it was diagnosed as vitamin deficiency. Upped the vitamin B1 and B6 and it all went away!!!  I don't know if thats your problem or not, but for me it wasn't diagnosed because labs were still in the "normal" range. I guess for my body the lower end of the normal scale is too low! Now I know and watch the labs more carefully.  HUGS

Really.. thank you so much.. i will try that.. I dont take more of the B's in any way. I gonna do that right now.. thank you thank you thank u... mine are in the norm as of 4 months ago but they werent all that high..

Man Carla, I'm sorry to hear you are having problems with numbness...You need to be careful so make sure to get it thoroughly checked out, OK? Made okay choices with your food, but still need to keep the cals above 1200 even without exercise so that your body does not freak and think you are trying to starve it out...Got plenty of protein, in large part because of the shake & bar, so keep that up, but keep up with getting all your snacks in too, that will help keep your totals up for the day... Keep us in the loop on what the doc says and take care...Chat with you over the weekend...Alesia
