Yesterday….Got a small fill so it was all liquids and soft foods

How much did you get? (the 1cc you wanted?)

I am still trying to get back on track with my posting but since my eating is so crazy I always forget. I am still struggling with whether or not to get an unfill when I go to my appointment tomorrow. Somedays I can eat a bear! other days I can't eat a thing! Most meats and breads I cannot eat but Pasta, rice, and all junk food goes down just fine.

I'm still losing slowly but tired of the unpredictability of my eating so I'm confused....help!?:blushing:

Welcome Back and CONGRATULATIONS on your 80 pounds!

i'm back. but this time for real. i've fallen into the same old trap of eating during stress. work is crazy, been having some personal issues and on top of that we just found out a month or so ago that my grams is terminally ill. so i ate. i posted my gain

Sorry to hear about Gramms.

Good to see you back on track. Keep up the good work, we're here for you!

Hi everyone! Thanks for all the positive thoughts and prayers for my FIL. He is recovering well and doing much better.

Also, I haven't had a cluster headache in about 14 days, so I am praying that my cycle is over, at least for this year. I am going to attempt to start exercising again tomorrow, and pray it doesn't trigger a headache. Ya'll wish me luck!

Glad to hear that FIL is better. I hope your headachs have gone too. How was the workout?

I've been finding it hard to post with it being so hot here in CA. I just eat, drink and sit around. To hot to have the lap top in my lap.

Today:

B/Pam fried egg, 1/2 mini plan bagel w/"I can't believe it not butter" spray, later a 1/2 cup 2% milk

s/ 2 choc. chip Cookies, 1 Ralph's Sweat&Salty Almound Granola Bar, later 20oz Water w/2 crystal lights

L/1oz hamburger wrap w/mayo, mustard, ketchup, 3 pickles, 1oz chdr chz, later another 20oz water w/2 crystal lights

D/3 Reg Del Taco's w/white souce and onions

2 more 20oz waters w/crystal light

1,557 cal

P.S. I have for years tucked in my shirts in just about everthing I've worn. I thought I was showing off my waist. Well my son took a picture of me today and OMG, I'm not going to wear my shirts like that again--unless I have an over shirt or jacket to go w/it. I have a pear shape and my lower tummy was out more than I had thought.

I need to learn how to dress!

I don't like having my picture taken, but have been getting better since I have been losing weight again.

i'm italian myself, if the bread is thin & toasted well - i'm ok w/it:)

white bean chicken chili is easy.

saute' small onion / 2 celery stalks / 2 garlic cloves w/a little butter & olive oil....get translucent.

add 8 cups of chicken stock - while simmering i will pull apart pcs of a rotissere chicken (you can cook one, but i like the ones i get a whole foods & it's easy), add a can of drained cannelli Beans & let it cook for about 30mins.

"sometimes" i'll throw a cup of elbow mac in or some brown rice - depends what i have on hand.

Thanks! Still no headaches so far. I actually didn't get to workout until this morning. My son has been really sick, so I didn't have a chance. I did a 2 mile walk this morning and it went really well. It didn't trigger a headache, so that is good!! My plan is to walk for few weeks to build up some endurance, then start the C25K over again. Thanks for asking about me.

As far as shirt tucking, I've never been a shirt tucker...even when I was pretty thin. I just never though it looked good on me. Lots of people look great with shirts tucked in, I'm just not one of them, lol. It's funny how pictures will show us things we never see in the mirror. I sometimes think I look pretty good until I see a picture, lol.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
