TWINS!! And one of each!! Congrats you lucky dog. You too Carol, 10 grandbabies to love and spoil. My son has informed me that he isn't going to have any kids. We will see. They are getting married next July and I am hoping I can change her mind.

Anyway....

Ok, we are going camping this weekend and I am planning on being a good girl. I even bought LEAN hotdogs for myself. But other then the hotdogs, we are going to be having chicken, fruit, and fresh veggies. I am going to have to watch it in the mornings. Everyone loves big having a big Breakfast when we go camping. I have planned eggs (I will remove my yokes) and I bought turkey Breakfast sausage. I also plan on walking A LOT, and swimming A LOT, so hope the helps any oops I might have this weekend.

Here I was worried that I wouldn't behave on my camping trip when my flipping RV will not start so there is no camping trip this weekend. What really upsets me (tying to be nice here and use nice words) is that I just paid to have the electrical system worked on.

I am not a sad eater, or a happy eater, I am a pissed off eater and lets just say Doriteos are not a good thing to have around with you are this mad.

Tomorrow is another day, and the RV shop is going to get an ear full!!! And I plan on getting back on track!

Emotions play a big part in my love of food, so don't beat yourself up. Sorry for the disspointment of not getting to go camping, maybe you can find a place to go swimming anyway.

On the other hand my blood sugar was high this morning, but I was up serveral times in the night to go to the bathroom, so I figure the blood sugar is high because I'm probably dehydrated. I'm drinking a glass of Water now, before Breakfast.

Have a good day and weekend.

Carol-I've noticed that when my sugars run hight, my gums bleed when I brush my teeth. I was told it was part of the diabetes, do you have this problem? And I have noticed that I am not getting up to go in the middle of the night for the last few days, I've never thought that was related so now I feel really motivated about this GI Diet.

Now this weekend was a pain in the butt. First the RV, then we had planned to go see the re-enactment at Ft Atkinson. We got there to find out it was the wrong weekend. Decided to go see this exhibit on the human body, when we got there, found out it cost $117.00. Hubby said "Hell no" and we left. But the weekend wasn't a total loss. I did end up taking my daughter and her friends to a state park to go swimming. It was great and the Water felt wonderful. So it wasn't a total bust.

Glad your weekend wasn't a total lost. I did go to the movies to see Grownups, it was cute. Eating at Chili's was a major piece of work, but did ok. Their stuff is so full of fat, I looked up on their web site for calories and fat and Fiber. Glad I eat very small portions of it.

My blood sugar was better this morning. I drank more Water yesterday and didn't eat anything after 7 pm. No I don't have problems with my gums bleeding, thank God.

I still doing good tomorrow is weight watcher day so will see how good I have been this past week.

Trying to do good this week, slipped up a bit here and there. Like I ate too much popcorn last night (ok it had a few M&M's in it), but I didn't put on any weight this week, so that is good

Going to lunch with my future daughter in law. Decided on Applebees. Holly crap, their slider have over 1200 calories in them. The best thing I found on their menu is the Asiago Steak, just a little over 300 calories (and that includes the sides). It was even better calorie wise and sodium wise them their Weight Watcher meals. I like being able to pull up the nutritional menu for restaurants before we go out. Granted, this is the first time I have really gone out since I re-started this, but hey, I'm hooked.

So proud of you. Keep it up and it will come off, maybe not as fast as we would like. Every ounce adds up, one pound a week and thats 52 lbs in a year.

Good Morning!

Oh I am soo excited having these 2 wonderful babies in my life! They are doing really well!

Sorry to hear your camping didn't work out or the bodies show, maybe you should get ticked more often .....you lost weight! LOL what ever works! My scale goes up one down one up two down two......ughhhh.

I think I feel better if I don"t get on the scale, it still sets the mood for my day, damn thing! But when I don't weigh I think I am in denile...I am trying to get on only once a week, maybe Mondays shouldn't be the day. when and how often do you two weigh in? I am off to the beach for a few days ...that should put me in a great mood! Sorry for the gripeing :thumbup:

I wish there was a way they could have put a Band on my brain!

Trying to stay positve!!

Trying to stay positive!!

Thats my mantra for the week!

Hope we all have a good week!!!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
