Girl, if there is ever a time to stress eat, this is it. Bring some knitting, paint your nails while you wait, walk the halls.

Tell her to feel better soon and give her a hug from me! A hug to you, too. That's tough.

Yep, you stuffed up...

...for an hour - not forever.

Your mum's recovery is more important than having a clean eating record today.

My best friend committed suicide on Sunday. I couldn't begin to tell you what I've eaten in the last 3 days but pretty sure it didn't involve much Protein. Tons of food being dropped off and it's all about carbs. Just try and stay hydrated and don't worry about the rest right now.

Hoping your mom recovers soon....

Nobody can beat you up harder than you are beating yourself up. ICU is scary times. You're allowed a bit of leeway here.

Good grief!

@@kimpossible67 and @@Kindle ... I'm so, so sorry for your losses and the stresses you're both feeling now.

Please be as good to yourselves as you possibly can be.

I'm thinking of you both.

I'm not normally a stress eater but my mom is in ICU, recovering heart surgery. I've attempted to get in Protein and Fluid but just to punish myself I threw in Cookies and pretzels.

Steeling myself for the well deserved ass kicking...GO...

You did it once, you know what you did and why and you don't plan on making a habit out of it.

Everyone cracks once in a while. It's being able to admit what you did and not making delusional excuses about it that saves you from the slippery slope of "ok, it happened" from turning into "it's a habit".

Hope your mom recovers quickly.

Sometimes you just get tired of being strong. Hugs and love from Chicago. Plan for tomorrow and have some string cheese, nuts, or Protein bars in your purse. Even a banana is better than Twinkies. You can't count on hospital cafeterias to have quality Protein.

Sometimes you just get tired of being strong.

Exactly!

Thank you everyone. It's going to be a long road of sadness, guilt and anger. a hard lesson learned about what depression can do to an otherwise generous, loving man.

@@kimpossible67 Sorry to hijack the thread, but just wanted to let you know it's OK to let your guard down sometimes and don't let it bother you. MHow is your mom doing?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
