Um I'm pretty sure the OP is Laura-ven!

I'm glad things are going well so far. Please keep us informed of your recovery. I hope your surgery/recovery is uneventful.

Let it go. You spoke. You have apologized. It is done. If some wish to fixate on your "foot in mouth" post, let them. That's their hang up not yours.

Thanx. Truth be told, I'm thinking about food so much today. I'm not hungry but I want to eat. Must. Stay. Strong.

So far, so good. I made a large pot of the WW cabbage/veggie Soup and portioned it out. I have my fresh fruits and veggies packed. I found an Asian inspired WW veggie soup I plan to make and portion out. I'm hoping this will help break the easy carb/slider behavior that was creeping back into my life. It is not a problem yet, but it can/will be if I don't nip it in the bud now. http://www.food.com/recipe/ww-zero-point-asian-soup-356836 http://www.food.com/recipe/ww-0-point-weight-watchers-cabbage-soup-128956

Sigh...

Tuesday is the day after tomorrow. Stay strong.

Keep us informed as to how everything goes. You are in our thoughts. Bienvenido a Mexicali!

My hubby and I were having this convo today. He's gained and I'm losing. I still out weight him by leaps and pounds but the gap is narrowing. Plus I'm taller.

May I be so bold to suggest that those who justify and seek permission/absolution with regards to their drug of choice are the same ones who thought WLS was a cure? That the sleeve would do the fighting for them? When I went to Mexicali for my WLS Dr. Campos made an analogy that really stuck in my head. Summarizing the analogy: Losing weight, especially for the obese, is like a table with 4 legs. Two of the legs are WLS. The 3rd leg is choosing good fuel to put in your body as opposed to crap. The 4th leg is exercising. Get off your rear and move more. If you take any of those legs away from the table, the table does not function as well as it could/should.

I'm mildly stressed about this. My old scale died and I had to replace it. I haven't weighed myself in about 3 weeks. I bought a new scale and it has me 4lbs heavier than my old scale and 1 lb lighter than my doctors scale. Did I gain, or was my old dying scale unreliable?

I will share the recipes I found.

I've got a list of various detox soup recipes that are designed to get things moving and help one get past the carb/sugar withdrawal. Many complain during the Protein shake phase of gagging on shakes but it was so much easier to make good decisions when we had no options!!! Lol

I will be starting my detox program tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it!!!

Your verbiage of "food pusher" did bring something to my mind tho. I've noticed when I dish up my families meals I heap it on. I'm thinking it is an eating by proxy thing?

Food talk doesn't bother me. It is not a trigger for me.
