No game

Sorry dean I think I'm HANGRY!!!

Does you wife know that???

See, Dean was just taking out his "issues" on you.. Between you and I? he gets grumpy when he's hungry and I suspect it's meal time

But your right, the food and liquid intake we have to do now feels like grazing because it takes all day to get it in!!

Hi I had surgery the same day!!

NOOOO that's not what I mean!! I have wide feet and I've had success sometimes with that brand... Sorry Look now I just told the world I had wide feet! I usually lie about that!

Dean for the record it was just a couple of bites not the whole can of tomatoes! Don't make the poor thing take on more shame than necessary!

Grazing.... It's kinda like.....have you ever seen a cow in a meadow? With its head down moving spot to spot eating?? That grazing!

Good!!! now maybe I can stand a chance at winning first place once in a while!

That sucks, Merrells are usually ample when it comes to width!

No, pathetic would be a whole cake!! All you have to do is get on the straight and narrow from now on and your secret will be safe with me... Hehe tomatoes

Diced tomatoes? Lol that's a new one!! It gets easier, hang in there it will be over soon!

Preach!

Protein and water are the two most important things for weight loss early on with this surgery.. At least 64oz of water a day. I think you are about a month out ? So you should be able to do it and as far as snacks why not try a piece of low sodium turkey lunch meat and some low fat cheese.

Hi Sannah! I was about to walk to my sons school to pick him up and then walk to the drugstore to buy valentines for him to give out. But I saw that you posted. So I want to say hi! And I'm so glad you are getting a little nourishment in! I hope that soon you can enjoy the benefits of this surgery. Like me, walking out amongst people feeling good... And you know I'm going to ask you to give Venla snuggles

Think it would be a good idea if your fever continues for a little while and isn't helped by Tylenol... If anything you can let them know and ask what is good to take... Some will say call now it could be something bad! So if your worried its not the flu call How's that for noncommittal

Jennybeth, I think a lot of wives and mothers here can relate to what you said about never putting your self first... It's something I've done since marriage and children. I, for many years "neglected" myself because I said i wanted to put my family first. Why? I became invisible fat unhappy. It was easier just not to care... But what good does that do for anyone? Is it good for your kids? your Husband? You? I had guilt about doing this surgery CRAZY! I wasn't doing anything wrong! I was finally doing something for me that was loving, caring and ultimately will benefit my family, but most importantly it will benefit ME, Laura and I am worthy of it

Funny...... NOT:p But guess what Dean? 2 more pounds gone

I think you said it in the beginning of your post.. WLS does not make or break a marriage! I'm sorry that you guys are having issues, But you need separate the two right now... There will be time after the surgery to work on what's best for you and your husband. Laura

Wow that's is a lot of cookies!!! On a good note I just weighed myself -2 pounds !!! Which is great because I'm one of those "slow" losers !! So I say, "damn you cookies! I don't need you" And you are right Ntv Txn Nothing better than something homemade, even cookies because you can control the ingredients.

Lol... No he's not:) he's very happy about my loss so far, he's just dense! As a matter of fact he walked into the kitchen yesterday and stopped and looked at me and said to me "you know it's weird sometimes, I walk in and I think there's a stranger in the house at first because your so small now" gotta love him! He loves me big or small, anyway he can get me. And the Cookies...well I don't want to be mean all the time to my husband and kids when it comes to a treat, plus they said "mom it's supporting a good cause"

Yum yum!! you can do it !!!
