Well, I guess we all kinda had a tough weekend in some ways. Feels good to have peeps, doesn't it?

Trying to get back in the groove today and it ain't easy but so far so good.

And OD, as to numbness. I agree with Swizzly. I had full hysto in 2000. I had this weird numb but painful spot in my right upper THIGH. Do you know it was numb and burned until I noticed a while after losing weight in 2011 that it was gone??!!!! Eleven years later. And 100 lbs later. Gone. Duh!!!!????

I had 2 C sections with my kids who are 29 and 32 and I still have numbness around the scar. I know the nerves were cut in my face so who knows if they will ever grow back. I really hate it though.

thanks for your kind words ladies, hubby also thought about the sickness bug that is going around 'cos the nausea doesn't usually last this long...sigh

Finished my fast day looking pretty good - cuppa Soups all the way as I couldn't face actually eating! No idea how many cals but under the 500 I would guess.

Cathy, your relaxing weekend sound lovely... hope MIL in ok! Don't stress too much over the same weight, I have the same pattern... seems like I will lose 1-3 lbs over say a week or two, then hold and see a lil bounce for 2 -3 weeks then a few more will go - repeat as necessary! As long as it is coming off we are winning, right! And thanks for the cwtch (hug) twas lush!

numbness is so weird - around my TT scar is the same, yet I have some sensation around my new belly button! Strange!

OD - wanted to answer your ? about cals on fast day...here is my fast day today.

FF Creamer in my coffee for Breakfast (2 cups of coffee roughly 40grams each of cream) 53

Leftover chicken breast (for breakfast...I usually have egg beaters) 90

BBQ Sauce for the chicken 15

lunch was a hard boiled egg 78 cals

dinner was 92% lean grnd beef with taco seasoning 142 cals

Mexican style shredded cheese 54

Light sour cream 36

Snacks were 2 peppermint candies (like those soft melt-in-your-mouth kind) 34 calories

Sorry I did a copy and paste from my food log and it didn't really work so I retyped this. I apologize looks kind of funny.

Anyway Calorie Count says it was 27 g carbs, 52 of prot and 22 from fat!

Anyway, hope the rest of you had great days!

Fast day went great yesterday. I ended with 550 calories.

We DID get snow today! Aaargh!

It's just cold enough, and they are (so far) gentle little flakes floating through the air. But I wore my warmup jacket ALL the way thru my weight class and only took it off once I got into spin.

And I took a quick peek at the scale and saw a new low weight! I'm not calling it yet, because I like to see it a few times in a row before calling it but man I *needed* to see that. If it sticks that will make -12lbs since mid-July. :)

Wow! Thank God we aren't in South Dakota. They are really suffering. Many ranchers there have lost over half of herds.

Congrats on the new low!!!! You are a dynamo!!

surgeon said I am burning 2x as many cals as normal to heal, I am hungry but the super tight garments limit intake..Maybr corsets were for appetiter control.

Said he took about 5.5.# skin and I didnt have enough fat to Lipo out and inject in butt. thats ok,,,, fine how it is.

Surgery was easy,,, day after kinda sucks but everything is normal.

Good news! And damn not enough fat to Lipo? That's pretty cool:)

Perhaps I'll start wearing a corset on fast days!

Or a muzzle :P

Glad you are hanging in there.

      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.
