Hi Roz!  Wow - 18 tubes - i don't think I've ever had that many taken.  I'm starting to wonder how my insurance might change too...

Yesterday was a grazing day - I was bored to tears at work and kept eating - now, I ate stuff that wasn't bad, but still.. I ate a lot.  

Today I gave into the donut calling my name - and WOW - could I feel how it affected me!  After about 2 hours I got ravenous hungry - to the point I had to eat something... I don't get like that when I eat properly.  

Had a nice conversation with one of our government reps about losing weight.  He was logging his food on Myfitnesspal and we discussed the various sites, then low-carb, WW, etc.  He's doing a great job.

B - coffee and glazed donut (ate it over a period of time)

L - Ok - here's where I fess up too - I ate part of a piece of pizza and some of its toppings waiting for my Subway to get here.  Then I'm eating the steak/cheese subway sandwich - of course I'm full and can't eat it all -  I'm eating the innards...

D - idk

Vits: yes

water - I need to do something about this.

I hope you get good results on your labs.  I'm now not having labs until March - my appointment was for Jan, but it was moved.  I'm just going to stay vigilant on my vites... I think it's my new obsession.  I find the whole subject fascinating and love to read every post I see.  I wonder how many normies have issues and never know it - at least we're on the look out for things.

I was just like you when I was new to all this. Vitalady popped onto the scene on the DS board when I was 3 months post-op and I was hooked.  : )

Going to a Christmas Party tonight after work.  Planning to have 1 drink made with diet tonic.   It's right after work but I think I will eat at home before I go; otherwise I may be too tempted.

L: salad + chicken breast + 2 clementines
