In prepping for the challenge I finally went over to fitday.com and started logging EVERYTHING that passes my lips...I discovered I am not as lo-cal as Ithought, but am averaging about 800 cals a day...still, with 2600 cals required to maintain, I figure I should be on target to lose 1-2 pounds a week...

Now I just have to figure out the exercise thing...!!! :-/ I'm lazy at heart...

Ugh beware of Cream of Wheat!!! It gets stuck easily-it expands..yikes. If you do get it stuck..hot water(like tea bag hot) will melt it to go down. I will never do cream of wheat again...lol...I switched to Gerber Rice w/Bananas.

Just wanted to share!

Take care!

food for thought.

A great story to pass on to our kids and a lesson to be learned by us

all.

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson

about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, "My son, the battle is between two

"wolves" inside us all.

One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow,

regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment,

inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility,

kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and

faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his

grandfather:

"Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
