Let me ask you something....what all do you eat? Like fruits and veggies? Do you eat any sugar? |
We are still in the same place, we did buy the house next door (the one before you get to ours) and we are renting it out (its only 2 BR. and 1 BA). I like it out here. I love the schools and everyone is so easy to get to know.
You have to do it for yourself. I decided to do it, because I didnt want to end up like my mother. I wanted to be sure to be around (minus the chance of getting hit by a truck) to enjoy my kids and grandkids (Tyler and Kaytlyn are 17 now....UGH!).
On a typical day this is what I eat -
BFast - Fiber One Yogurt (After you get some restriction this will really fill you up)
Lunch - Usually a small microwavable ravioli or smart one or salad
Dinner - whatever I make for the family (Which sometimes I will take for lunch the next day - it is funny how much I like leftovers)
I do not drink any sodas at all. I know that they are evil and probably were a big reason I ended up here to begin with. I try to drink at least 48oz of plain water a day (no crystal light - just water) I take 3 bottles to work with me and poor little bits at a time in a cup and drink it that way - I dont know why but it just seems easier that way. After that I allow myself either artificially sweetened Kool-Aid or 1 Vitamin Water (I LOVE THAT STUFF). I do have a small serving of ice cream or maybe a bite of something sweet every once in a while - I believe that this is a change but I am making changes that I know I can live with. If I said I am not going to have sugar then I know that is all I would want. I am trying to be realistic.
I know my biggest problem was portion control. I grew up in one of those you have to clean your plate households. So now I eat off of a dessert plate. It really works! The hardest thing is not drinking with meals. I am doing a lot better with that. I just dont fix a drink when I eat any more.
Hope that helps a little.... Glad to see you here!

. I tried to burp (I know its gross - but sometimes that will ease things through), well nothing. My husband has learned the "Oh crap" look on my face 
and is staring at me. I am thinking there is no way I am purging in a garbage can in public and the restrooms were WAYY to far. So I sat there for another minute trying to will it down and then I felt the urge to cough and when I did out it popped with all the slime
... I grabbed a plastic bag to cover my face and then a towel. I immediately put my plate in the trash can and appoligized to everyone. But I dont think the kids really noticed thank goodness. Cuz they kept on eating...LOL. The worst part was my mom was there and I want her to get this surgery sooo bad. I want her to know that its really not that bad, but I am sure that this was another reason for her not to get it...
) I wonder if there is a suggestion box in the office....Maybe the next time u speak to someone who is being rude to u in the office drop this line "my ins. will pay for this surgery at this center because it has been deemed a Center of Excellence, however my treatment at this point has been less than excellent. Perhaps if I file a grievance with my ins. co. concerning this office I may be taken a little more seriously. But I don't want to have to get to that point because it would be unfair to the surgeons here and their professional reputations. So we need to figure out a solution that will be beneficial to all...(very professionally of course
