Mom & Dad are coming!

By LoseIt!

· 320 views

Mom & Dad are coming today! I'm looking forward to spending time with them. We haven't seen each other since Memorial Day. I have changed a bit since then. :thumbup: Tomorrow we are going shopping for recliners. I would like a pair of durable, relatively inexpensive, leather wall huggers. If anyone has a suggestion on where to try, let me know! Saturday, Mom & I are going clothes shopping to get me some winter clothes that fit!! And some bras. I really need bras that fit.

 

Last night my friend Liz & I went to see Blue Man Group. Super fun!! Although I wasn't really able to eat dinner. For my main course, I had creme brulee. Don't judge! :cool2:

 

The last couple of fills I have had, I was so tight the first week that I would debate about going in for a slight unfill. But inevitably, day 7 or 8 would come and all would be fine. It is day 2 and I'm trying to remind myself that it is like this every time. It is how my body works. I can get down water and other liquids just fine. I just can't do foods. I figure some doctors require several days of liquid diets post fill, so it shouldn't be a big deal. Plus it really gives me a good weight loss jump start! I've lost 3 pounds in the last two days. Woot woot!!

 

It's only day 2 and I'm so impatient. Sigh. I guess some things never change. I'm about to have my smoothie for breakfast. I got it with peanut butter today to make sure I have all my protein. I'm not the slightest bit hungry! After a week of feeling hungry all the time, it is a relief. However, I couldn't live like this all the time. Plus, my allergies are making it worse. Stupid ragweed!! I love Fall, but that's the one killer thing.

 

I'm not sure if I will so much posting with the parents in town...it's hard to say. So, have a great weekend!!

    Lazy-Boy?? Ashley Furniture? Living Spaces? (not sure if you have those, but try!). Your visit sounds like so much fun! I'm sure you'll feel less of an issue in a couple days and get back to at least semi-solids.

    I can't judge. I don't like creme brulee (I know, right?). I'm really into jello pudding and today I had a (whispering) peanut butter cupcake. Now why, when I can't eat bread AT ALL, did that cupcake, including peanut butter frosting, slide down? I do not know, my sister. I hope you enjoyed your dessert/meal/visit and that you feel better soon!!

    You are doing great. Enjoy your visit with your folks. You are lucky to have them in your life.

    As for the recliners, I purchased one at City Furniture - it was a lot more expensive than I wanted to spend, but it is really well built. After my purchase I was in a Big Lots and they have many different styles at very good prices. Just a thought.

    I do like my creme brulee so I would never judge anyone for eating it..ever!! I did give up icing though..sorry Sandy! but still not judging! I am eating the "guts" out of things right now..IE: cherry pie..just eating the cherry part..oh well. As I tell myself at least the pie has lasted all week and not overnight like before. I actually will have to throw it out tomorrow and only 3/4s of it was eaten..but it said to only keep it 3-4 days and the days are up!

    Anyway, I am jealous you are spending time with your parents! My parents actually "live" in the mother in law suite that is attached to my house but they travel alot. My grandma (dad's mom) has not been doing well in VA..so they have been taking care of her. My parents were suppose to be home in 2 weeks but I just found out that it will be longer. :-( I hope you have a blast..shopping and just hanging out with them! Take care!
