ISleevedIt 380 Posted June 21, 2013 Time sure does fly by! I can't believe it's been 4 months since my wls. I didn't lose much this month. Actually I'm surprised that i loss any at all. Why you may ask? It's because I have been very very bad with my diet. I still drink a Protein Drink everyday and get in my 60-80 grams of Protein and 9-12 cups of Water each day. Oh, I still get in my 5-6 mile walk each day. It's the slider foods that have gotten me! Well, I've been eating gluten free crackers and multigrain crackers....oh and some candy each day. I know I'm eating more than I should, but what is saving me is the walking (I think). I've also noticed that my stomach has healed quite a bit since I can eat more food at a sitting. I've been having some health issues (lump on neck and have to go back for a second mammogram and ultrasound). It got me thinking that if I got cancer and am going to die then I would be very upset because I cannot pig out on all the foods that I really like. I mean I have been pigging out on some crackers and candy, but I would want to be able to eat like I did prior to wls. Oh well, today I'm feeling better about everything since my husband told me we have the money to take a vacation out to Los Angeles. I really want to go to Australia, but for a family of four, it's just way too much money, especially since I will have 2 kids in college this fall. Anyways, the vacation is motivation for me to get back on track with my healthy eating. I've done a Protein Shake for Breakfast and one for lunch just now and will have a healthy dinner. If I have a snack later, I will eat my Special K protein Cereal or my Kashi cereal. I am NOT going to buy anymore crackers or candy...still working on convincing myself . Overall, I'm still very happy that I had wls...it may be a different story if I find out I have cancer. Then on the other hand, I try to think positive and if they have to do a mastectomy on me, I'll tell them to use my stomach fat and give me a Tummy Tuck at the same time. So maybe I could get rid of all the saggy skin for "free"...lol Hopefully, I've been worrying for nothing. I'll find out on Tuesday when I go for further testing.

MizzouGirl 148 Posted June 21, 2013 I hope you are OK. My husband had the same thing a few years ago and it ended up being benign tumors on his thyroid. He has been fine since they were removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
