And congrats to your mom Tracy!!

I keep wishing my dad would say he wants it, he keeps trying to diet, and it works for a minute.. He's getting so large, I forget till I see pictures. He's well into high 300's. I always talk about how much I love my band, he's never showed interest. Can't make them want it if they don't want it.

I know! I tried not to push it on her, but she see's that I was about her size when I started and see's me now. My step dad has lost 60 lbs doing Low Carb so he's even on the bandwagon for her to do it NOW. Last week when I called Denver for her.. they were booking in November.. so waiting a week has already put her in December.

She is freaking out, but hopefully with all of her family behind her she will be ok. She is going to need A LOT of hand holding, because she has about 25 extra years of self sabotage to overcome..... I offered to go with her and she bought two airline flights, if my step dad can't go then I will go in his place.

OK.... Pie Hole report!

I had two FRIED taco's, a few chips, and a diet coke!~ I wonder how many carbs were in the shells.

Round corn shells, ground beef, shredded cheese, pico, a bit of salsa... probably NOT HORRIBLE but more than my daily limit. They didn't have soup! (and I'm a huge sucker for freshly made fried shells)

HOWEVER, I will not give myself liscense to eat... because I have the ps tomorrow....... and it was lunch so I have time to burn it off as long as I'm good for dinner... and I will be.

I am stuffed stuffed stuffed........... but it was nice to beable to eat them without pb'ng

Man, I've been busy all morning long.

Before I headed home I decided to go to the car wash, drive thru. So when I got home I got inside and washed all the windows. I'm worn out.

It's a beautiful day here today.

I had for Breakfast, 2eggs over easy. I piece of bacon. I biscuit with gravy. No lunch. I just had a handful of pretzels. dinner will be very late tonight because I have Tai Chi class. I'm very proud of myself today. Will see what tomorrow brings,

TracyKS, That's wonderful about your Mom. Good Luck with your PS appointment.

Kat, someone ordered porn over the phone and used the numbers off of our checking account. On our statement it listed the phone numbers of the porn places. I called tham and they gave me all the info on who ordered it and their address. They refunded our money. They were very nice about it. At the bank we had to close every single account and reissue new numbers. We went to the police and gave them all the info, alot of good that did. We have never heard back from them. I eventually called the guys wife and informed her that her hubby was ordering porn and using other peoples money. We had drove by their house and I saw kids toys outside. I told her that with kids in the house that she needed to keep an eye on what her husband was doing. I left that on her answering machine. I see that they have moved since.

I was in the kitchen mopping the floor when I heard Molly (our cat) fall in the pool. The cover is on it but she must have thought she could walk on it. Hubby came running when I called him but she was out by the time he got there. Her whole back end is wet. So we don't have to worry about her doing that again. Crazy nut.

Haydee, How is your sister doing since her surgery? Is she losing good?

Everyone have a great day.

Went to OG, I always get chicken scampi.. they had something, didn't say new, but I never saw it before..

Seared Chicken & Gnocci Vermese (I think). Oh.. my..goodness. I think it's the best tasting thing I've eaten in a LONG TIME. I had plenty of left over, so that's my dinner tonight too.

That drama lady at work, she apparently is saying she is pregnant and harassing one of the guys in the back.

Suzie - my sister has been losing very slowly. She doesn't come on here for support and she doesn't actively try to do anything to help the band. She gets frustrated because she hasn't hardly lost anything but then again she doesn't want to listen to me when I try to give her advice. She drinks alot of soda and she likes to go out and party and drinks lots of alcohol. Empty calories!

We have been running the roads today. DH is off and we drove through parts of town that are still destroyed from the hurricane. Then you see people on the side of the road selling "I survived IKE" shirts. lol

Tracy...so cool about your mom!

I am with Judy...I will take anything dipped in chocolate! YUM!

I tried making chocolate covered bacon a few weeks ago after seeing online pics. I used my instant bacon (the kind you don't refrigerate and heats in 20 seconds). Was not very good, but I want to try it again when I have real bacon.

I've seen cooking shows where they have chocolate covered bacon. Now THAT would be interesting!!

OMG, that would be so delicious. The combination of salty and sweet...

      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.
