No game

Haha Andy! That's my big fat finger that I sliced open (and stuck in front of the camera) the day before. One of the perks of living with a ER P.A. Is that he derma- bonded it all up and wrapped it My husband is still so sick. I spent the afternoon downtown shopping. You know I did this surgery for health but I must admit shopping is kinda fun too. FYE, Brussel spouts and cucumber salad? Two things I love, but I'm not picturing them together... So weird yes So far I've had some yogurt today.. dinner is iffy because I'm not sure where we (the kids and I) will be going..

Oh and ate lots of carbs yesterday it's hilarious how hungry I am today! My stomach is actually growling at me for more!!

Posted this on the 5:2 thread.. Are all of you guys on that one yet? Coops I can't remember seeing you there? Or skinniness much? So Thursday... Are any of you ladies still doing Thursday? It's my normal day to fast and I might just do it because our plans of a 14 mile bike ride (mostly downhill) got cancelled because my poor husband is in bed with a stomach bug I'm so out of my comfort zone. I feel like I'm I. The twilight zone right now. So much of my life has been so structured around my little sleeve world that I'm finding it really hard to let go mentally for this vacation. Even my husband has been sending mixed messages to me. He tells me please just forget about the sleeve and eat "normal" while we are here. Then the next minute he's like "your eating that" (Cheese crackers) or "how are you going to count those calories" food, food everyday it's still about food. Anyway it's a beautiful day in Colorado! I went out for a bit this morning. Yesterday I rode a roller coaster type thing you take the ski lift up to the top and ride on a toboggan type thing that you control. It's funny the whole time waiting for my turn I stressed because I'm still very obese in my mind and I wondered how it would "fit" into the toboggan... I kept looking for someone big in line so I could see how they fit. But alas everyone was small. There was a group of obese women sitting to the side waiting for there family members that were in line. I kept starting at them knowing how they felt but also wondering if I should be on the sidelines too... I fit, and a had a f**king awesome ride! And would of done it again if it didn't cost an arm and a leg! Life is so weird!

Sorry! I'm obviously wrong.... All I know is that when I posted at six months I got nailed to a cross for doing so!! Look ma I'm a vet now...

July 3rd... I will be back on program then

Ok girls (and boys) I did so awesome yesterday all day!!!! That is until last night..... cheese crackers handfuls of them, oh I'm not feeling proud of myself right now. It wasn't hunger it was mindless eating. Score; Vacation 1 Fasting 0 Oh and everyone is SKINNY in Breckinridge. It's like a Mecca for athletic type people 0_o

Coops, beautiful!!! OMG vacation and fasting do not go together...

Umm..... Did they change the definition of vet here?? I wasn't told!

Great job Georgia! I decided to stay with the fast today. So far so good! I had a Protein Shake for lunch and I'm working on a hamburger patty left over from lasts night dinner I don't know the exact calories but I'm hoping its going to total 500 or less for the day FYE good job! And skinniness yes I'm finding I'm less hungry on regular days too. But it's nice to not worry

My digestion was never good even before the surgery! Since? Once or twice a week... So it might be time to give it a try for sure!! Today is a fast day for me so we will see how it goes on vacation.. Sweetums, yes on these days I make my first meal lunch. Much easier! No scale today or the rest if the week for that matter. Kinda scared about that!

Ok well we spent the night in Vegas last night! And it was hot... Just took a soak in a jetted two person bathtub and getting ready to get the hell out of here before it heats up again. Colorado today! I'm hoping the weather is nice because we are going to be doing bicycle shuttles this week. No running though..

No fiddle I've not tried it yet.. But I'm going to buy the original and try a bit in my yogurt next week. And yes anything that helps with my digestion would be welcome! Oh and the weight loss is holding steady ( as of this morning) and for that I am grateful! First day of vacation coming to an end and food choices have been really good except for some specialty m&ms!! Coconut and mint flavors? Who could pass up some tastes of that!!!

Hey Georgia, It's funny but things like oatmeal or grains in general don't keep me full very long, never have! I've not had oatmeal since being sleeved, so who knows maybe it would now? I'm a creature of comfort I adore my Fage 2% plain Greek yogurt with blueberries and some stevia (1 packet) it keeps me full. As a matter of fact we are waiting for dinner right now and I wish I were home to eat that instead! On fast days I do that and Protein mostly chicken and veggies Sweetums, I like the fiber one idea.. I'm going to try that when I get home!

Fiddle how many pies are you going to stick your fingers in??? I would suggest reading up on it there is a forum and book.. But I know that the maintenance part is 6:1... Oh and to the newly sleeved this is not a smart thing to do.. Let your sleeve work for you. I know I will get told off for this again but I need to get that out there. Ok now I'm leaving for vacation!! Wish me luck

Ok here's one for you Amy..... I'm going on a week long vacation with NO SCALE!!!! OMG a little panic here but when the husband said I could bring it if I really wanted it.... I thought ok I'll just be a big girl and deal for a week. Oh and when I step on the scale I always take a very deep breath and exhale all the way when stepping on. Is that weird?

Yes we have a bunch of summer sporty type things planned!

Getting ready to leave!!! We are going to Breckinridge!

I like the "not really" part why did you edit it I mean what do I know, I live in Northern California where it's perfect all the time Yeah, I mean however you can get at least 64oz..

At that stage getting your 64oz is like a full time job. You just keep a bottle in your hand all day and drink.. I had a bottle of water (still do) everywhere I went.
