Good morning all! Well, it's confession time. I sort of fell apart yesterday. Here's what I ate between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m.: A hot dog, mac n cheese, I don't know how many mini Cookies, ruffles and green onion dip, 1/2 a grilled cheese sandwich, more chips and dip. I haven't eaten like that or felt the need to eat like that in months. I felt like crap all night. Imagine that!

Have you ever felt like those around you are crazy? I feel like everything is blowing up around me, you know? It seems like everyone is bickering or upset or just pissed. It's nothing that is specifically directed at me nor anything I can control, it's just chaos with those around me. Not to mention all the other stress during this time of the year plus I'm still waiting on my acceptance/denial letter from nursing school. I've got projects due and the holidays always make me nervous because no matter what we do, we can't please everyone so we just stay home during the actual holidays. Which is a neccesity this year since money is so tight. Maybe it's the full moon or something, but whatever it is, it makes me nervous and anxious. Hence my eating binge yesterday.

Sorry, I guess I have the Monday morning blahs! I just needed to rant. I guess I'm a little stressed. LOL! Thanks for listening! Hope you all have a great day!

Bea this time of year is so stressful on everyone. Don't beat yourself up. You'll pick right back up from where you were and keep going.

Monday blahs are no fun. I have them today too. I am trying to get back on track too. This weekend I don't think I had enough Water so I have to work on it today.

Yeah, maybe. I usually can't eat like that, but I don't know if that was just a fluke or if I'm too loose now. My band is very fickle and I can go from eating like a normal bandster to barely being able to get liquids down. However, I can almost never eat bread and I did yesterday, twice. I'm right at the 50 pound mark so maybe it's time. I just hate to have a fill and be too tight because of my allergies. They really affect how tight my band is; however, it's getting colder and my allergies will ease up some now. I've been doing great with excellent restriction and then BAM...not so much! I've e-mailed the nurse at my lapband doc's office. I'll see what she thinks especially since I'm 6 months out and haven't had a fill in months. Thanks for your input.

Hi Blund nice to see you around :laugh:

That reminds me I keep meaning to ask..

Wouldn't chewing gum keep stimulating your metabolism between meals?

Yeah, I haven't even been lurking around here in a while. I guess things have finally calmed down after school starting, soccer ending, etc.

I don't know if gum does that. It never occurred to me. Maybe Dr would know. I just figure its faking me out chewing something! I'm rarely hungery...just love food!

Hi Everyone,

I havent logged on in a long time! I hope you all are doing well! I had spinal surgery last week so have been home recuperating. I have to wear a neck brace for about 6 weeks so that is not going to be fun. I need to get a fill but will probably wait for a week or so. I have lost about 68 pounds so far. I am wearing a size 14 stretch Levi jeans today so I am way happy about that. Have a great evening!

Nice to see you and others joining in!

Good job on the weight loss! Can I ask what your starting weight is? I don't wanna pry but our weight loss is close and we have a similar goal.

Hope you have a quick recovery from the spinal surgery.

Hey all! Nice to hear from you Blund and Colorado. I hope your recovery is quick!

I called my doc today and they can't see me until December 8th! WTH?!? I guess they are extra busy because of the holidays? I've never had to wait longer than a week. I've got to get back on track. I'm not feeling well, think I'm coming down with something and so my workouts have been wimpy to say the least. I feel so fatigued especially today. I came home this afternoon and took a 3 hour nap. I'm about to go to bed and I know I won't have any trouble going right to sleep. This is weird for me as I'm not normally a napper. I've decided to take it easy this week and have cancelled some of my activities, meetings, etc. I do not have time to be sick!! :thumbup:

I hope everyone is doing well! Good night!

Bea- My doctor is booking into December now too.. Thats not usual for them. I have gotten in the same day in the past. I think it's either everyone wanting filled for the holiday feasts or that the doctors are taking lots of time off.

Good morning all. It's Wednsday... I sure wish it was Friday. I am going on a weekend long shopping trip with my mother in law and staying at the casino to play Bingo! I have never heard so many elderly people cuss until I played Bingo.

My scales is bouncing around between the same 3 pounds this week.. Ya, I know don't weigh everyday. I can't help it :thumbup: I will just have to watch the high calorie drinks at the show when I go to the casino. They require you purchase 2 beverages to get in.

Hmm well sorry to ramble I had starbucks this morning. I don't normally drink coffee.< /p>

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
