Erosion & loss of restriction



Recommended Posts

Thanks... :)

I am so jealous of your brother-in-law. I would love to be more back to nature, and off the grid. Sigh...

My friend just named her last animal "Hamburger" and that kind of kept it in perspective for her.

Teresa, I'm right and you're wrong. That's all there is too it. If I weren't so darn tired, I'd come up with some clever justification (aka B.S.) like crabs and fish don't have fur? Poor little crab. How will I sleep tonight?

I got my first check from The Avenue today. It was $19.00. So I spent $21. I only worked 4 hours and socked a whopping $5 away, but I'm not really working for the dough. However, I'm sending the $19 to my band credit card even though I already made the payment this month since it's zero percent interest for a year. But what's more important are these really cute black linen capri pants with white embroidered detail all over one leg. And, I squeezed into a size 20 today. Sure, the pants resembled more like pantihose, but damnit, I got them zipped.

I liked working there today. It was fun, and I was on my feet 5 full hours so I feel I earned my day.

My friend, Brad, thinks vegetarians should be shot. He says we have to kill and eat cows because their manure destroys the ozone, while carrots and vegetables growing supply us with necessary oxygen. He also thinks meatloaf if evil. Meatloaf is just a place to hide evil vegetables. He says carrots don't "crunch" when you eat them, that noise is them screaming.

Great, now I gotta feel guilty for eating salad.

OH MY GOD!! That is too funny. I love it.

I also love AVENUE stores. I am forever buying way too much stuff in there. I am tempted to get a parttime job just to get the discount. LOL!!!!!

Oh my God! I can't go an vacation and stay away from this web-site for 4 or 5 days without missing a ripping hot comedy routine. DeLarla, where do you come up with this stuff? You're going to be required to do at least an hour of stand-up if we all ever meet. Your replies to Donali about restriction are priceless!!!!!!

You get even funnier when you get bored, candy

wow!

I just read four pages worth of posts and cant remember where this started.... restriction I believe! Well Lisa, is it back? I believe its hormones, its the weather, is the food you eat, is the vibe....

sometimes you can enjoy a binge for a couple of days, and just as you are getting worried that you cant control it, you start getting the chest pains again ( hopefully not heartattack).

At my most restricted ( before my latest unfill) I still managed twice ( funnily enough on saturday nights eating at friend's places) to eat full size dinners. Is it mind over matter? ( as in being terrified that people will notice I dont eat as much as I used to? I dont know).

We took our child to the aquarium a few weeks ago, where we saw some HUGE lobsters. My fist thought was YUM! So I guess I have no trouble with screaming carrots....

cheers everyone

Telli, I'm gonna be late to work just so I can yell at you... YOU CAN'T EAT THE LOBSTERS FROM THE PETTING ZOO!

I'm dying here thinking of you at the aquarium with your mouth drooling. You are banned from the aquarium. And the zoo!

candy, I'm not sure where it comes from... I must have bologna in my underwear.

You are right Lisa, and I am wrong. My apologies for offending you. It was all only in half jest and good fun. I wish you the very best. Teresa

Knock it off, Teresa, I'm only kidding and you know it. I'm eating Mac & cheese right now so I didn't have to kill any goats or anything. But I did have to pick the noodles from the macaroni tree. I hope I didn't hurt it.

Thanks Lisa, It seems I am suddenly a pro at ruffling feathers. I am so emotional lately too. Cry at the drop of a hat. Must be the hormones released from weight loss. At least I hope that is the cause. I've never been so touchy in the past. It has been a crazy day. Hope all is well with you. Teresa

HELLO, Teresa, do you NOW see why I've been drinking so much lately? I was doing the same upsy-downsey emotional thing and got hooked on Bloody Marys over night. But then someone said, "maybe you just really love Tomato juice." YUCK. I hate tomato juice. But I started drinking Virgin Marys over the weekend, and apparently I'm just crazy about Virgin Marys. I'm drinking one right now. It's all I thought about all night at my second job. And I'm going straight to heaven drinking it. Hot, spicy, extra lime juice - I'll probably have one for Breakfast. I guess what I'm saying is that the whole band thing is making my head act strange. I'm going on these weird craving trips even though I'm not pregnant. For the past week I've lived off of salted peanuts in the shell - I simply must have them. Before that it was chicken (the kind that grows on vines.) Before that I'd have killed for asparagus.

Now I'm the trouble maker around here so let me do my job. By the way, I'm so exhausted I can't think straight, so I'm not quite sure what I'm saying. Listen to Dr. Penni, she knows what she's talkin' bout. xo

      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.
