Mornin V's!

I ended up cookin around 10, hubby didn't get home till 11. But, he didn't miss anything. Apparently lamb sirloins (which is what I got) don't taste nearly as good as lamb chops or leg of lamb. I only ate 1 bite of it, and then ate half a can of the asparagus- right out of the can!

Today is one of those odd days I'm actually hungry in the morning. I got an oatmeal cream pie cookie.. thing.. out of the vending machine. You ready for this? It's smaller than my fist, about .5" thick, and 470 calories!!!!

I haven't opened it, I'm wondering.. is it 100% sugar formed into oatmeal shapes or what?! Luckily I grabbed a carton of milk too, so I'll forgo the "cookie" that is higher in calorie than a McDonald's meal. wth?!

Haydee, I could probably get pain meds from my dentist, but they give me such a rebound headache, and often cause constipation---so....my head hurts so bad already....and I truly don't need the other problem, so I am doing my best to cope. I have Demerol....which is about all I can take. I am allergic to morphine, and codeine---so it limits my options.

Laura, Kinsey eats those little Debbie oatmeal things, I took a bite one day, she is always trying to feed me---and as I chewed it began to feel like it was a mouthful of grease, it coated my teeth, and my tongue----it was so beyond gross I spit it out, I did not swallow it!!! I never chewed them that well before. Never wanted one since!!

I thought about your special Bracelet working too Terry---the emotional response was amazing, as soon as she got it her whole attitude changed---the next job was going to be hers, no ifs, ans or buts about it!! Yay you!!!

LOL. You guys will love this.

Despite how horrible the cookie is, I opened it. And I am so hungry, so I walk it to my co-worker and I am going "Guess how many calories are in this bad boy". She guesses 200, so I tell her, and I'm like "but I am so hungry!!" so I took a tiny piece and ate it and she's like "Give me that thing, don't eat it!" and she hands me a packet of that weight control oatmeal lol. So I just made some of that, the maple & brown sugar. It's not terrible (the banana one was I thought), but I'd still rather have a normal fruit & cream oatmeal packet=120 calories. She threw my cookie away.

What a GREAT friend!! I eat that same oatmeal every...single...day! I love it! But I make it with milk, then add Splenda and Omega oils to it. By the time I'm done with it it adds up to about 400 calories...but it is a healthy 400 calories so i don't dwell on it.

God only knows what's in those Little Debbie things. Just back away!

Just stopping in to say Hi. Had to go into work early this morning because the morning lady called in sick with the flu. Stopped and picked up some lunch on the way home. Hubby is just getting over the crud. He's going to stay home tonight while I go work at the Hospital. I hate not to go in. They are so busy with whatever this flu thing is that's going around. A 46 year old teacher form here died yesterday from flu-related issues. Yikes.

Haydee, if you take the Water pill don't forget to eat a banana. you need the potassium.

Pam, I'm so proud of your decision to go back to school. Wish I didn't have a learning problem. Just can't seem to retain anything I read. I read alot, just can't remember it.

TracyKS, How's Robbie doing?

Have a great evening. I miss Judy.:smile2:

Thanks Susie~ I am excited about this. I've finished 3 years of course work for the doctorate and I have already written 3 of the 5 chapters. I am going to be tweaking Chapter 1, redoing chapter 3 and taking on a different direction w/ the research. Once I get the data writing chapters 4 and 5 can be done in a few weeks. WOW...sounds so easy when I say it like that!

Me! Me! I want to come! 'Ritas & candles... LOVE THEM! How about a 'rita scented candle? mmmmm! :smile2:

Pam... Let me know if I can help w/editing or whatever w/your thesis! You should be proud of yourself for finishing!!

Ok... for some unknown reason... I consumed about 1/2 tub of triple chocolate mini-chip frosting this afternoon. WTF?? I wanted something sweet and... I'm hoping it gives me the runs & thus creates a negative impact on my bod. Why do I do this to myself?? Am I afraid of success?? Or just stupid? UGH!

Tub of frosting sounds pretty damn good now though. Back in bad binge days, I'd eat that rainbow chip frosting right out of the tub. The whole time thinking about some movie I saw as a kid, where some lady gets as big as a house and keeps her cabinets filled with tubs of frosting.

BAD BAD BAD, evil thoughts go away.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
