Yes I am avoiding...

Well hello,




I hope everyone had a great holiday! Mine was fun. I did not eat as much as I normally would, but I did eat too much and I enjoyed a few glasses of wine. Bad band girl, I know. I did have my first fill yesterday. All the waiting...all the delayed excitement....all the fanaticizing about little clothes....I get 3.5 cc's. That's not even the half of it. I feel almost no restriction and I do not get filled again until the January 18th!!! Why dear band gods do you make me suffer so!!!!! I told my surgeon that my appetite was pretty much back to the way it was before surgery and there is no way I can eat 1/2 a cup of food for a meal, even if I have five meals like the nutritionist told me to, and be remotely satisfied. He then replies "You will still be able to eat as much as you did before surgery right now, you will not feel the restriction until after my 3rd fill." If I follow this stupid schedule my third fill will be in February. This is so not cool. The he tells me, "I told you that in the beginning, don't you remember?" "If you wanted fast results we did discuss the bypass." Ok, I do really like my doctor a lot, but he is very matter of fact and at an emotional time such as this, it made me want to jam the hubber needle in not such a nice place. So my plan of action is to call the office on Friday and beg them for the love of Pete to give me another fill!!!!!! On top of that lovely pile o' crap, I was up 1.2 lbs since the last time I was there. Sorry this was not a very uplifting rant but I needed to share.

Meal on the go

Hello there,

I want to share with you a cute little meal on the go I found over the weekend that is tasty. Bumble Bee chicken and fat free tuna salad. Its so darn cute, tiny spoon included. If you do not like relish or sweet pickels you will probably not like this. But I do, so yay! I think this would be the perfect meal size once I get my fill. Since I do not have a fill yet, i had it as an inbetween snack. The chicken has 140 cal and 9 gram of protein total and 8 sugars for 3.5 oz. I think this is perfect for my desk draw at work. I am gathering a goodie bag for when I return to work on Dec 2nd. I am filling it with protein bars, these little meals, and I tried the fullbar today, that was also yummy. I am on the hunt for other desk draw, purse friendly foods so if you have any suggestions I would appreciate it. ttfn

Crazy Town

Ok, I am making some not so great choices and eating a little too much. I think I am a little more hungy than usual. I am not sure if this is because I am eight days late for my . butI usually get like think when I pms. Being 8 days late kind of freaked me out so I called the doctor, the nurse said that this is normal and I may completely miss this month due to the stress on my body from surgery. I did not exercise today, tomorrow is a new day and I am going to tryy to curb my snacking and exercise. Getting a little nervious for my weekly weigh in on Sunday...I will keep my fingers crossed.

Amy,



Thanks for the comment. Reids response is if you want to go then come. He knows how I feel about these events. I think the dress is just nice party dress not too formal. I am about a 16ish. My body looks more like a 20 I think, you have a small back and from your last vanishing back fat pic, you have a tiny waist. I on the other hand am built like a football player. Big back, big waist and my upper arms are the size of a skinny girls thigh...well so I think. I can not wait for the day I look cute in a sleeveless dress. But your right, I am going to give my selve time and re assess how I feel at the end of Jan. :)

Food Blog 11/16/2009

two bites of Matts left over pancakes ...bad Erika

10:30- 2oz of lox on whole grain small slice toast, whipped cream cheese about 1 1/2 tbsp and some red onion. Ok I crave lox sometimes but then I eat them and find that I do not like them,like this morning, other times I love them...weird.

1:30pm- carrots and greek yogurt dip, 3 chicken and rice mini meatballs

3:30- short 1 pump no whip pepermint mocha....this has to stop

5:45- claen eating chicken tetrazini- did not go down well, got stuck three times, chicken breast not so moist.

9:30- protein shake

10:30- tried to eat cheese stick with sliced turkey breast, maybe it was too close in time to shake, not sure but I got stuck and pb'ed three times and then I threw up. This is the first time that happened. Think I may do mushies and broth tomorrow :(

No exercise today- I did claen for 4 hours though. My ankels hurt a little from walking on the beach for 40 min in sneakers I think.

Thanks for the comment Robyn. It is hard and I have been down on my self because I do not have double digit weight loss numbers yet, but I averaged it out and its a little over 2 lbs a week since surgery. That is not so bad, right? So funny, I was thinking about makeing a clean eating recipe for carrot cake today but I was also thinking am I going to have the will power not to keep picking at it!!! Kind of like your fudge situation. I can tell you right now, if I made fugde there would be no hope. Maybe if your intent is to give it away as a gift, package it up all pretty in a box with wrapping paper, then its still on hand for company and to bring to frinds but its wrapped so you do not have real access to it. Just a thought. As for why my posts are delayed, I have no ideal, I am new at this blog stuff and am still trying to get the hang of it myself. Keep me updated on your progress:)- erika
