Home bound by Hurricane Harvey



Recommended Posts

I'm so unbelievably bored! I live in Richmond, TX (far west side of Houston). While I am incredibly grateful that we did not get a direct hit from the hurricane, we have been hunkered down due to reports of impending catastrophic rain and flooding. Well, parts of Houston are getting slammed today, but the rain bands seem to keep splitting over the area I live in. Technically we could have had a normal day today and gone to a movie or something. Instead we have been at home all day binge watching Netflix waiting for the sky to fall. Seriously, we are about to go see if Wal-mart is still open just to walk the aisles.

On top of the boredom, the reality of not being to eat comfort food has set in and I'm really, really sad. Normally we would have ordered pizza, made queso and chips, gone for a burger...pretty much anything revolving around food to break up the boredom. It's tough to realize that my hobby was food. I can't think of anything else to do today besides sit on my butt and dream about junk food.

I don't mean to complain, I just wanted to voice my feelings to an audience who can relate. My husband is supportive but he doesn't get it. :(

I live in Spring, Tx and while we didn't get hit too heard either, I still feel stuck in the house and bored.... It was kind of tough not being able to eat my fave comfort fooids while watching Hallmark movies... I went to Wal-Mart and bought the kids ice cream, but I'm eating an apple with Peanut Butter.

Well today is completely a different story. Thankfully our neighborhood has not flooded. I also decided to make a variety of meals for the week.

Thickgirl5683 I hope you are doing okay.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
