Oldest daughter at her dads. Youngest sick with a cough and cold. Hubby puttering around the house. Cold here in PA but I prefer that over a hot summer.
I had salad and Woswit dressing for breakfast...pouch a lil upset, not bad. 241 yesterday, not thrilled but could be worse.
Saturday slug

Yesterday we went to the Oley fair and I was walking and standing for 2 hours! Whoa, that's a first for me in ages. Yes at the end I got dizzy and naseous and had to sit but my body felt good just not my head. We stopped at M&M Diner for lunch. I got a grilled chicken salad with Paul Newmans light Italian dressing and LOVED it. I only ate a few forkfuls at the diner but ate the rest at home later.
I know the lettuce wilts and becomes a slider food. I added 2 hard boiled eggs and some cheese to it and the rest of the dressing packet and LOVED it. Sheesh that is so not me to eat so much. Of course I came on here to the forum and asked if it was a slider food, got a few snarky comments but "f" em.....I laugh and move on. With the loss I feel like my thin skin is becoming thicker..........go me!
Different each day
Sep 19, 2012
What is up with that?
I did eat well yesterday. Yummy bean soup. I did drink 16oz of water this morning before setting off. Did any of that factor in to it?
I thought it was my vitamins. My iron.
I do hate Walmart pharmacy. Dropped off my daughters prescrip and they said oh it will take 30 min. 1 hour later and I was still waiting. I was so pissed. So I left. Of course I spent more than I should but what do you do in a store while waiting but walk around and shop!

Hubby made 10 bean soup with ham which I tolerated well. Ate that for lunch and dindin. I even managed to eat 5 grapes for a snack afterwards. Whats up with that? We had salad yesterday which went down well, amazingly and with my fav hot bacon dressing. Ok I only used a tablespoon of dressing but I'm still scared of all this food and stuff. I so hate being sick.
All I do is read other people's foods and how they are feeling and I pray I will be feeling good a few months from now. It will make all this suffereing worth it........right?
Talk with the hubby
Sep 17, 2012
I just love the man, you know? You find a good man and he is priceless. We have been married almost 11 years now and he is my diamond in the rough.
Yes we bicker, yes he annoys me, yes I annoy him but hey...super guy.
I talked to him about how frustrated and depressed I am with this whole not being able to eat thing. Not having any appetite, not having a taste for anything. SUCKS.
We took the dog to the groomer today, she looks so pretty! Bought them costumes, all ready for halloween! Went to Giant got dizzy and had to sit down. I thought this problem was solved with the iron! SUCKS.
I pray its not a stricture or ketosis. My calorie count is real low every day but when you can't eat anything....what are you going to do?
Blechy day
Sep 15, 2012
They came home at lunchtime and I had 1/4 c of lima beans for lunch. I threw up a bit, not sure why but my stomach has been weird for the past few days. I wonder if its because of what the surgeon said that I now have scar tissue at my stoma and until it loosens up I will eat less and feel scared.
Well I do. I hate feeling yucky all the time. I hate not being able to eat more than 3 bites. I hate not being able to eat dairy, chicken, pasta, sugar...even natural sugars as in fruits! I have severe buyers remorse and I am sick of it.
Ugh.
Guess its pity party time.
Yes, I'm down to 243. Big deal. I can't even enjoy that.
Sucks to be me.
New Week
Sep 10, 2012
Ran around with hubby today. We stopped at Cracker Barrel for breakfast where he had a feast and I had 4 Tablespoons of unsweetened oatmeal with raisins and lemon water. Yum. But I wasn't hungry and I knew if I ate anything else on the menu, I'd have a lousy time the rest of the day.
Lunch we went to Seafood Shanty because we had a coupon. I got scallops and steamed broccoli. I ate 3 of the scallops with butter and lemon and a snivlet of broccoli. Unsweetened tea to drink. It was good but I did not want to push myself.
Dinner will just be cottage cheese with pineapple. I'm drinking tea all day. Feeling good.
Can I kill my kid?

I went to Lancaster to get my favorite canned corn beef yesterday. Bought 3 pounds and froze the majority. I find I can eat a few bites of a piece with some cheese then my pouch says 'enough' which is fine. I just love the taste.
So far I cannot stomach: greasy things, sugary things, pasta and chicken breast or anything dairy....even with a lactose tablet first, still end up in the bathroom.
6 week dr check-up
Sep 05, 2012
Dr Myers can't figure out why people are always sucking down protein shakes. He said there is no need. Get your protein from food, real food, quit the shake.
He said if I am doing well I will have no problem eating here on out. Yes!
Starting wt: 304

So tired of the ups and downs. My hubby says how good I look with the weight loss, he really is noticing the change. I said that I wish I felt as healthy. I can't enjoy the weight loss when I feel bad. I did buy Iron today which I hope will help. When I was younger I was anemic so maybe this is the cause of my problems?
I was in Walmart today shopping with hubby and it amazes us both the rudeness of people. It happens everywhere if you use a cart. I do have my own personal one at home but when I go to Walmart I use there, or my husband does. He has a lung condition and sometimes he just can't walk much.
People just do not move or they don't let you pass, you always get stupid looks, it makes me and hubby feel so inferior, well lately he has had it. He says he gives them 1 chance and if they don't move he is going to start pushing. He already makes comments but frankly I don't blame him. I wish I had his balls.
I use a cart because of how I feel since surgery. I do have a walker with a seat on it but who wants to sit down in an aisle, when all you do for groceries is shoot up and down aisles picking out things? I don't have time to sit. I also need a hip replaced so its pretty compounded.
Otherwise I feel okay today. I had 3/4 of my yogurt for breakfast and about 1/2 cup of my pasta va zoom which is a pasta dish my father used to make. It is with noodles, tomatoes, beans, bacon, ham, tomato sauce and onions. Delish! I chew chew chew....so far all has gone down well.
