Novembe 19, 2011

Not been a good week. Had a good time with daughter last weekend when we went to out of town wedding together. I looked forward to getting back home and returning to Curves workout. But I only went Monday and Tuesday. I have a darn toothache and have turned to pain medication to control it until I see dentist on Monday. Did make it to WalMart yesterday to start grocery buying for the holiday. I walked instead of using the old fart cart. You would have thought I went to the gym the way I was sweating when I got through. Daughter came home today and already she has gotten on my nerve. She made a comment about my computer use, playing games and just surfing, and how I make the computer slower. Blah, blah, blah. Gonna be a long week. Still have to go to store and buy food for Thanksgiving meal. Too many different diets to think about. Hubby wants all the traditional foods: turkey, dressing, Watergate salad, cranapple crunch, sweet potatoes. Daughter wants all low-cal. low-carb, no-additives foods. Son and DIL want ham, green beens. Granddaughters want chicken fingers and Kraft mac and cheese. To top it off, the Iron bowl is next weekend and hubby wants all the usual "football" foods to have during the game. You know, chips and dip, nachos, salsa, sandwiches. Me? I just want my tooth to quit hurting and to make it through this week with as little drama as possible. I am gonna try as hard as possible to stay true to my diet. I hope everybody will have a good Thanksgiving. Ya'll just pray mine is going to be better than this last week.

LAP-BAND Patients

Ann, so sorry it has been a bad week. I think the holidays are the single hardest for us WLS patients. Expecially since we are such people pleasiers. I read your blog and it made me sad, I hope your family is supportive, it is so improtant that we have support and understanding. My first year being banded I did not cook thanksgiving dinner, we went to a friends house, I knew I could not do all that cooking. if you are going to cook this year, you need to set the menu, if your kids want something special, let them cook it and bring it to the dinner. Honestly it is unreasonable for the person who eats the least to do all the cooking. I know I may sound harsh but honestly, this WL journey is about me, if I would have continued the path my family was leading I would be dead by the time I was 65 or unable to walk due to my knees. As far as your husband wanting snacks, Subway makes some great footlongs and he can buy his own chips and keep them out of site. Some may say I have been a bit of a bi*** since I had surgery but I consider I have taken control of my life and if Diane doesn't eat it they can buy it them selves. Hope u have a great thanksgiving and enjoy the day and don't work to hard. Good Luck!
