CONFESSION TIME..spill it



Recommended Posts

Lulu, I used to love Judy Bloom books when I was a teen. I remember someone telling my mom they were full of vulgarities and from then on, I had to sneak them in order to read them.

my mom was pretty much a hippee & if i was going to read; she bought it for me...

confession - DH and i are moving upstairs in our farm house (have been renovating for over a yr), now that it's complete - while they get ready to gut and start downstairs. i'm not so sure he is going to make it out alive today. we've already exchanged some pleasantries :smile2:

Sometimes a good fight is just the thing to get the blood pumping back to the brain.

I feel for you -- just having workmen install a pool in the backyard was painful, I can't imagine them crawling all over the house.

Ah yes, DH and I renovated our house last summer... actually, he did 90% of the renovations himself and I stayed out of the way. Even with that there were some 'interesting' moments!

You have a pool? I REALLY want a pool. But other than I live where it would be snow-covered for a minumum of 5 months, and cold for another 2 or 3, it hardly seems worth it....except I REALLY want one.:confused:

no, i've gained all the weight i've lost while i've been pregnant... then a bit more ... about 20someodd pounds

Phew! BTW, you're not supposed to lose weight when you're pregnant! Doctors usually want a pregnant woman to gain between 18-22 lbs during the course of the pregnancy so you're doing great!

My confession is I went from being a volume eater to a grazer... I need to stop eating small amounts all day and just have meals!

The wine doesn't help either!

      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.
