Thank you everyone for the words of support... ... i love this site for so many reasons, and this just reinforces them all... Lissa, you are so right, even though i was over my 800 daily allowance of calories ... It was no where near what i use to eat...thank you for pointing that out to me...

No, the old me would not have called the psych ... It felt good "after i hung up"...lol All eaten foods accounted for... Feels good...no longer feel guilty...

Reset!

Chitowngirl....i called the psych...he will call back... Great idea! thanks Randi ...thanks for the moral support....i will try to shake this off and start anew tomorrow...((love this area to live))...move back someday! ***update*** i went back to Sunday and added all eaten foods to MFP ... I feel better having it on the books!

Wonderful....love the truth out innocence! Keep up the good work!

You look amazing....What beautiful smiles! 33 pounds is 33 pounds you won't carry around ever again..... Congrats to you both for great accomplishments!

I know, for me anyway....i drank fluids WITH all my meals before surgery...now because we are not suppose to drink while eating, my fluid intake is greatly reduced .... So having to sip liquids all day, has not come easy. (yet)

Good luck and speedy recovery to everyone having surgery this week....

Wheetsin....wow what wonderful protein shake recipes !!! I am 8 weekday (this Wednesday) and am having a hard time drinking my shakes....this is REALLY going to help me....thank you for your suggestions!

Fingers crossed for you

Rootman .... I am so sorry you are going through this...i too am an animal lover and in my 59 years have had to put down many "family members".. that is what they become, kids...they have our entire heart and soul.... I feel your pain, frustration and confusion .... Sending hugs your way to you and your family...

Oh ya.... my last A1C was 6.6!!!!! love it!

Congratulations .. You won't regret it... I am 59 with grown kids and a very supportive husband.... I too was diabetic ... What type are you? I was type 2 with an A1C of 10 WITH taking metformin, gliberide (specific) and byetta shots twice a day.... I was going to have to start insulin, if i did not have the surgery....well, they had me stop all my diabetic medicine 3 days before surgery... I had surgery and they started monitoring my blood sugar... It rose as high as 300 (they gave me insulin shots) then started coming down... I spent 1 night in the hospital...by the time we drove home next morning (90 minute drive) my blood sugar was around 200.... stayed OFF diabetic meds and checked blood sugar 3 times a day...wrote them down to show doctor on follow up appointment at 10 days post-op....numbers were between 150 & 200... now at 7 weeks post-op, i check once every 3 days and they are 98 - 120..... my diabetes is GONE!!!!! besides losing weight ... I am no longer a diabetic! i feel amazing... Welcome to the group of sleevers and you will love this site.... Use the search button for anything and always know that there are many people (at all different stages of this process) that will support you with your decision... Sorry so long .... I am just so happy to have wonderful people helping/guiding me, that i wanted to make sure you knew we are here for you...

Thank you lilMissDiva .... Wonderful insightful words!

I eat it off the spoon.... Small amount on spoon then turn it upside down and put in mouth and sort of lick it.... So i don't have a mouth full...just coat my tongue several times...nice protein treat...

Olivia ... I hid behind my weight for years...due to medical problems, i new i had to do something ... i started researching weight loss surgery November 2011 and had surgery on May 2, 2012.... I, too worried about losing weight...always been heavy, but decided it was time to stop being invisible.....My only regret is that i didn't do it sooner... You are not alone, your thoughts and fears are all things i felt... This site will help you, support you and advise you as you wish... Good luck, it's your turn!!!

Plain Greek Yogurt flavored with dry Jello crystals .... or .... 1 Poached egg and Johnsonville maple flavored sausage links (2-3) ....or.... 1 egg scrambled with grated cheese. These are things i eat post-op .... I ate the same pre-op, just more of it...lol

Hellonurse .... I sent you a friends request on MFP ... My name there is Sandy0424.... If others are willing to share food ideas through My Fitness Pal....please add me: Sandy0424... thanks

Good luck tonight....nothing worse than being that tired but unable to sleep...it will get better!

Sassygirl....i am only 7 weeks post-op so i am not anywhere near where you are now.....but.....you hit the nail on the head with the beginning of your writing.... You are writing about me...(i am sure a lot of us)... that person is still to close in my life for me to feel any different ....but.... I will!!!! One day, i too, will feel the meaning of your post... Thank you for putting into words how i feel at this time...

Cheeze its .... That's my guess...everything is okay in moderation but i think the Cheeze its are greasier than bread... Just my opinion... Sorry about everything going on in your life right now... Gentle (((hugs))) sent your way...

Kat i am so sorry you went through this...i agree you should let everyone know where and who did this to you... All we read is how wonderful everyone has been treated...there is always two sides to everything.....as you said, no one should go through this... Thank goodness you are home and under your doctors care...accept my healing prayers and take care.
