Betsyjane 2 Posted March 6, 2007 Me too. Smooth foods get me in trouble and are so good. I really think for me, if I don't count calories, I won't make it. I'm not obsessive...just generally round up and add. It becomes an issue for me when I'm so tight I need a slider to get the food down. then I'm tempted to cheat. I think a "diet" or "healthy eating" is going to always have to be a part of it for me, as well as Portion Control. But...here's my oddity of the day. I CAN'T EAT MUCH IF I SLOUCH! I CAN EAT ENOUGH SITTING STRAIGHT IN A DINING ROOM CHAIR. I CAN HARDLY EAT ANYTHING IF I'M SLOUCHING ALOT IN AN EASY CHAIR! I suppose that mechanical thing is similar to what Barbara said...being able to sometimes get stuck thing down by raising my arms over my head. I guess if I feel like I'm going to pig out, I need to go slouch and eat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Betsyjane 2 Posted March 6, 2007 I miss Barbara. How dare her employer take away everybody's internet time! Is anybody else still out there? where's our norhteast group? where are our Beaumont teachers? Sniff...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barbara465 2 Posted March 7, 2007 Glad to see all of you posting. Biker grammy you and I talked a while back. I'm going to Spiegel's support meeting on the 20th. A chef from University Hospital is the speaker. If you want we can meet and I'll drive us there. I ride the bus to town and back so it's no big deal for me to do my usual routine and then meet up with you and go. I'm planning on being there on the 12th. I will be getting a fill that day with Dr. Spiegel so I won't be able to eat. However, some nice hot tea will do me. I'll see you at 6:30. Dick and I love La Villa. I just work it in my plan. Our doctor says its OK just don't get carried away. However, I do love those chips and queso. I count cheese as Protein and don't worry about the calories so much. The big thing is to eat as normal as possible, but in smaller amounts. That being said, if you eat lots of high caloric foods than you probably won't lose very much or very fast. I miss you guys as well. You can PM me and sometimes I do see that at work. Just make sure I know of the meetings!! I think La Villa once a month for our meetings is OK. That night we can have the husbands and when we go to the cafe we can go solo. Dick has a meeting in Kingwood on Mondays at 7:15 so going earlier to La Villa is good. s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Betsyjane 2 Posted March 7, 2007 Our table will have a sign on it that says BANDSTERS. And it will be near the entry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biker grammy 0 Posted March 7, 2007 Having the sign on the table is a good ideal, BUT, seeing how I am from the Humble area and NOBODY knows about me having surgery it could get me busted!!!!!!!!! Suzanne. :clap2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biker grammy 0 Posted March 7, 2007 Thanks Barbara, I would love to follow you to the group meeting. I do not get out much with me working from home. If it is not in Humble than it out of my reach. And yes I have lived here all my 50 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bikergirl 0 Posted March 7, 2007 Hello Everyone: I haven't posted lately to this thread, but I got banded by Dr. Spiegel on 3/1. I see the next meeting is on the 12th, I will not be able to make it, will be camping with the kids in Waller, TX at the Yogi Park. We will be leaving @ 1pm on Monday and returning on Wednesday. Will look for the date of the next meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barbara465 2 Posted March 7, 2007 Congrats bikergirl! You are brave taking the kids camping so soon after surgery. :girl_hug: At least you won't have to worry about what you can eat since you will be on liquids and maybe some mushies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
