Ok it is Monday again and guess what??? We are getting more SNOW in NJ this week! This is getting a bit on the crazy side if you ask me! So, I was laid up all weekend with a migraine that I just cannot shake. I'm trying to decide if it is PMS, sinus or weather related, so I am medicated for all every 6 hours to see what is going to make it go away, so far NOTING is helping! I'm sitting in my dark office trying not to look at the compute screen for more that 15 minutes at a time! Todays menu is very subjectible depending on my head. PreB - Protein shake B- Greek yogurt w/ blueberries L - roast beef & cheese rollups (love these) D - not sure! no snack vites - sitting here looking at them Water - lots to try to get this head thing to go away no exercise, my head hurts!

Gastric Sleeve/Bypass Booklet

I would love a copy too! pcorrea9@gmail.com -
I am so happy that today is Friday! But they are calling for more snow in the upper east part of the country, like haven't we had enough already! i'm thinking a tropical island with a cabana boy to bring me drinks and fan me sounds good right now!!! So, i didn't do so good on my weekly weigh in yesterday, only down .9. I think it is close to that time of the month, but that shouldn't be an excuse to pig out like i did yesterday, damn snow days!!! Happy to be in my quiet office with my packed food! PreB- Protein shake B- greek yogurt w/ blueberries L- roast beef & cheese roll ups S- cheese stick H20 - hot tea, cause they can't seem to get the temp in this building about 60! vites are half down waiting for B to get in! exercise, cleared the car off, and will Zumba tonight with the babies! Have a great weekend all!! NEXT.....

Went out shopping with mom last night, to BJs of all places. Needed the necessities, bread, milk, eggs, cold cuts, you know the drill. So since it is totally freezing out in NJ and most of the country, i was walking past a stack of sweaters that were on clearance cause they have the spring clothes out. I picked one up on a whim, it was $12, and a medium, and cute. I said to mom, what do you think, she said it looks warm, I said it is $12 i think i deserve it. I put it on this morning and there is actually room in there!!! A FREAKING MEDIUM AND THERE IS ROOM!!!!! Thanks for letting me shout it out!! patti

Whatcha eating today!!! Tuesday
pattimomof3nj replied to pattimomof3nj's topic in Food and Nutrition
Hey there! So last nights dinner was good, just want to clarify so you all don't think i'm a total slacker, not that you would! My mom babysits for my twins and she usually likes them to have dinner by 5 so they can be in bed by 8. this way they aren't so darn crank for her all day! So she cooks way before I get home from work! So yesterday, since it was so darn cold out, she picked up one of those already roasted chickens from costco, Love those! and made a bunch of other stuff to go with it! B- greek yogurt with fresh blueberries L- roastbeef & cheese roll ups S - EAS Protein drink (ready made not sure if i'm going to like it) D - what ever mom makes, I have a feeling it will be turkey meatballs (kendall requested them as soon as she woke up) H20 - lots of hot tea, you would think AT&T would turn the damn heat on for us poor souls vites - already down exercise - does shivering count??? NEXT..... -
I was wondering about sizes post op
pattimomof3nj replied to sarahh1828's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi there, I'm 5'3" as well, and right now i'm 160 and in a size 10. they are comfy all over, but i had twins 4 years ago so have a bit of extra skin in the tummy. I also lost my entire butt, there is absolutely nothing left back there, it is scary! my ultimate goal is to have a Normal BMI which is a range of 130 - 140 i think so that is the plan for now! Not really caring about clothing size, just health right now! haven't gone clothes shopping since the girls were born, my mom just picks up things for me that she thinks i'll like! I told her this morning to buy nothing else until i get to my goal! they we really SHOP!!!!! Patti -

My Revision is one of the best things I've ever done for myself.
pattimomof3nj replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
YAY Irene! Welcome to Under the Band Land!!!! Isn't it GREAT here! and let me tell you It only gets better! You are so right that it is disgustingly easy! I didn't have any issues with my band until my son got very ill, and then it was down hill! I do not regret having my band, but I know that if I had my sleeve at that time, I wouldn't have gotten sick too! Keep up the great work!!!! Patti -

Globtrotter, i'm going to order some of that mustard, thanks! NEXT....

Included in this menu is 2 small tangerines for mid morning and mid afternoon Snacks 2 oz cheese for bedtime snack. . . Also i throw in a couple of diet sodas during the day as well. . . . CHEERS OK ? for you, how long after surgery could you eat tangerines and oranges and fruits like that? the guy in the office next to me eats like 4 Clementines every day and the smell drives me crazy, I totally want one so bad, but i'm afraid to eat one! i'm only 3 months out!

I'm curious for the different ages on here
pattimomof3nj replied to jamie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 39, had my sleeve done in Oct when i was 38. But i got my band when i was 36. I wish i would have done it sooner before i had kids so that i could have had some of this energy when my son was smaller, but he is still young so it is all good! -
come on girls share what you are eating so we can all get some ideas! excuse my bad typing, it is freezing in my office and my fingers are bout to fall off!!1

Ok Girls over on the OH boards, I lurk there, don't post much, just read! they have a thread that i love, but do not participate in. it is a daily what are you eating thread! i was hoping that maybe since it is a new year we can get that started over here. Keep us accountable and on track. no need to post all the stats if you don't want to just the basics of what you had for B, L, D and S. they also include W and Vites and Exercise! During the week I could get it started since i am on the east coast, but I cannot promise the weekends, I tend to not turn the computer on! So what do you all think!!!! Patti OK SO I CANNOT TYPE WHEN MY FINGERS ARE FROZEN, CAN SOMEONE FIX MY TITLE TO SAY YEAR!!!

So every day when i take my multi Vitamin, i get really sick. light headed, nasuses, cold sweats, just plain nasty feeling. I make sure i have some sort of food in me. and no matter what time of day i take it i get the same thing. today i took it about 15 minutes after eating my yogurt, yesterday about 15 minutes after eating 2 turkey meatballs. does anyone know what could be the problem? oh I am taking One a Day Energy formula, have always taken them in the past with no problems, since i have thyroid problems, need the extra energy!!! thanks, Patti PS- Official weigh in today, 164.8!!!! Lower than my lowest band weight!

Sick from vitamins
pattimomof3nj replied to pattimomof3nj's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wow thanks Tiff, you are a wealth of info! they never before bothered me, but i guess sine the tummy is so much smaller now! I saw on QVC yesterday these little packs of vitamins that have everything you need for the day, i was thinking of getting them. I just grab my vites and throw them in my pocket now and if i forget to take them, in the wash they go! not a good method by any means!!! The Dr that was on said they were even good for WLS patients! Hey if I do not like them I can always return them! -
Are there any SIZE Goal sleevers out there?
pattimomof3nj replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Oh Hell, You girls are making me feel like crap! I just want to go to the mall and feel like shopping! I actually probably could go to a normal store right now and buy something, but I really do not want to nor can afford to. My DH is unemployed so the money is not there, I need to wait until I'm literally falling out of my clothes to do that, and I have a vast array of size 10, 12 and 14s that I can wear with a belt and just look decent in. Some of the stores you mention I have never even window shopped in! I guess now that we are re-starting the Dave Ramsey method to get our finances on track I will need to start a clothing category for me as well as the kids that grow out of their clothes every other month! I cannot wait to get excited about going shopping!!!! Patti -
