I'd rather listen to Sam Elliot than to look at him.. unless of course he's cleaned up.

I've been watching the coverage of the plane crash most of the day. I couldn't believe that Water had not frozen over!! But how incredible that the plane didn't disintrage. The pilots did an awesome job of landing that plane.

TracyK.. sounds like a big step up for you. And the fact that Macy is ready really says something. Glad you got some relief with the muscle relaxers too.

I'm going to watch CSI and then head to bed. I had Ethan from 12 - 7 today and will have him from 8-4 tomorrow. Bob leaves to go out of town for Friday and Saturday so I'll have Ethan by myself. yikes.

Everyone have a good evening..sleep well.

Piehole report for today.

Breakfast 1 slice cheese

Lunch 1/2 cup chicken gumbo Soup, 1 talapia filet

Snack 1 slice cheese

Supper 1 cup crock pot chicken & dumplings.. (first bad carbs I've had in over a week)

2 liters water

TracyK, You and I are so alike. I'm in for all 3.

Tomorrow I start the 5 day Protein diet again. Yes, I said it. Yesterday when I went to see the Phsyc, he wants me to do the diet. It wasn't till after he told me about it that I told him that I had just done it. We got a luagh out of it but he still wants me to do it again. Also gave me a list of 3 books to read. I stopped by the library and got the first one and started reading it last night. I think I'm really going to like this guy. He called me a success. He said that I have done wonderful with the band and that he sees me still doing well, just need to find out what is causing this block. I have 4 more visits scheduled with him. So starting tomorrow it is the diet and I have to keep a daily log of all my activities so that he can see what I run on. He'll check my sleeping pattern and my downtime and also my alone time.

The only problem I see with the future is that I'm having lunch next Tuesday with sme friends. I'll have to wait till I see the menu and than decide what I will be able to eat.

Hubby is doing well with his missing tooth. The dentist called last night about 7pm to check on him. So far he has only taken 2 tylenol. I would have taken at least half the bottle by now.

Everyone have a good night and try to stay warm.

Allow me to interpret.... I think she's saying that "this is the 'needy' guy I was telling you about ... and he's 'working with' me! I asked him to back off and just take it slow, and he is!"

eh?

Good morning, Violets..

I'm up early waiting for Ethan to arrive. Not much planned today. It's -8 degrees right now with the wind chill of -20. Oh joy. At least it's nice and warm in the house. Bob leaves for his overnight trip this morning so I'll be alone tonight. Sometimes that's nice, and sometimes I don't like being alone. Tonight I think I'll be lonesome. Tomorrow I have my lapband support group so that will give me something to do. I need to find a knitting project. I finished a scarf for myself, but need to find something a little more complicated to tackle.

I think I have the sugar monster tamed for the moment. The 5 day pouch test sure did help me. Hope it does the same for you, Suzie. Sounds like your doc is a good one and will help you with your issues.

Going to go grab my slice of cheese for Breakfast, or maybe be daring and fix and egg with cheese. Everyone have a great day. TGIF!!

OK, here is MY interpretation...Jenns' boobies (girls) are pierced and she could not get her jewelry back in them so she paid to have it done and now they are better!

Well, I am (was) living in denial. Knowing I had to go to the regular dr today I went ahead and got on the scales and saw the reality of it all. I haven't had a Fluid pill in about 2 weeks, I ams till on TOM and I have eaten way too much he past few days ad I am back up to 223. So, with that being said...I am very sad today but am steadfast in my determination to take it back off. So, I am taking the ticker back up to where it is now and hopefully in a couple of weeks I can have it back to 212.5. My God, what is wrong with me? I think I will do liquids for a few days. I dunno. Maybe some wire & duct tape for my mouth?! :wink: I just do not know what to say today...I am SO down in the dumps. But I promise not to stay that way, it isn't doing any good to be sad.

Have a food day ya'll. Wish me luck @ the dr so he comes off with some good drugs to help ease the pain.

Good morning Violets~

Well I am up...still completely plugged up, but am going in. It is too hard not to go, hell, I'd have to go in anyway to make plans. I figure it is Friday, I'll get through it!

I was able to get some work done. I am sorry, I know you are tired of hearing it...you should hear me yelling yesterday about having to live it! I just want it done. I think I'll work on it today after school as well.

We are going to a bridal shower for Jackie and Melissa tomorrow. Those are the girls I already married, but they are having their "big" wedding March 14. The only reason they got married in Sept was because of Prop 8...good thing they did. So, tomorrow is the shower for the big day...the one w/ 160 people!!! 5 of us went in and got them a Wii Fit! We know they want it so that will be good.

What else...then on Sunday, we are going to the last night of the film festival and the big "gala". We are seeing a movie w/ Charlize Theron and Kim Bassinger in it. I don't know if they will be there or not...there have been tons of stars here this week. The only reason they would be is because it is the premier of the movie and then the big party after. We spent 50 bucks on these tix (each)...it should be fun!

Other than that...tons of homework this weekend. I am so close I could spit!

TracyK~ good luck sweetie! Yeah pain meds!

Susie~good luck w/ the 5 day test again!

HAYDEE~ I've been meaning to give you a shout out and thank you for the clothes!!! Everything fit and I loved all of it! Your the best...now hopefully, I can get your little gift in the mail this week! xoxo

Everyone have a great day/weekend...I'll pop in from work.

Good Morning Girls.

Jane, I agree with Terri. Hubby and I got rid of all the junk around here. Having it around is just to tempting. So now I have the little Jello cups in the fridge, they are easier to grab than having to stand there and make them. Get yourself stuff like that to have at your house and get rid of all the bad stuff.

Judy, I did the 5 day test with you guys and did wonderful on it. The Doc is the one that mentioned it first and than I told him I had already done it. He said he would really like oform me to do it again, this time he emphazied the importance of "NO" suger (like what you are doing). So you know the first thing this morning I had to put marshmallows in my hot cocoa. Actually that is my only source of sugar. I don't do soft drinks or anything else that has it. I am however addicted to lifesavers and I told him. One of my meds causes my mouth to dry alittle and that is when I pop a lifesaver in.

So it's back to the store for me to buy the stuff to make the Soups with.

I like this Doc and see that he will be able to get me back on track.

TracyK, I swear we are too much alike. I also understood what she was saying about the pierceings. YIKES, that's got to hurt. Sorry about all the problems you have going right now. Wouldn't it be really nice if all we had to do was concentrate on our weight loss, no drama with it.

Where's TracyKS and Haydee??????

Everyone have a great day, I'm off to go weigh in and get started on my 5 dayer.

I'm hereeeeeeee.... I've been buried under this pile of work. I am finally seeing the light. I've been working non stop so that I don't have to come in and work on Saturday....

Pam/Suzie/Tracy - Glad ya'll liked everything I sent. It was my pleasure. I had alot of stuff and most of my stuff is still in good condition so I'm glad someone is getting some use out of it...

My next goal is to get out of these size 18 jeans and into the 14/16 that I already have in my closet...

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
