Wine And Whine Wednesday!



Recommended Posts

That's right, it's Wine and Whine Wednesday! Got something to gripe about? Sleeve related or not, we wanna hear it! Let it all out!

Mine is this: My supposed best friend of 15 years has been MIA since she started dating her now husband 2 years ago. She ditched me during my pregnancy, constantly has some lame-ass excuse as to why she can't do something, and makes no effort to maintain our friendship, but yet when she wants me to make the 45min drive to her I'm just supposed to jump? She has no job and no kids, I work full time and have an 18month old - she can bring herself to me! And when I'm out her way or am going to be out her way and ask her to do something, she breaks out excuses after excuse! This week the excuse is "I can't go to the beach on Sunday because I have jury duty" Uhmmm... It's Sunday, I'm pretty sure the court isn't open on SUNDAY!

*vent over*

I think I will just whine about myself today. Yesterday, I did the dumbest thing. I went to the doctor and before I went I had weighed myself at home. When I got there, instead of taking me to the scale, she simply asked me, "Do you know how much you weigh?". And I looked her straight in the face and said yes, "215 lbs".

Now here is the dumb part! I really don't weigh 215 lbs. Exactly 1 hour before when I weighed myself I was 208 lbs. Why in the world would I round UP!!! What in the world would make me do that! All of my life, whenever asked to give my weight, I have ALWAYS rounded down, sometimes by 20 or 30 lbs and now I round up????

So dumb. Immediately, I wanted to say, no just kidding, I actually weigh 208, but that would be just petty. So I sat there kicking myself over something so silly. I don't know if in my head I was thinking that she wouldn't believe 208, or if in my head I was trying to build some cushion in case she did end up putting me on the scale. I really don't know, but I walked away feeling kind of let down.

Next time, I will just say, I don't know.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
