Small victory today. Isaac started kindergarten today. After dropping
him off, the school had coffee and donuts in the quad for the parents. I
had a cup of coffee, and EYED the donuts, but didn’t pick one up! I
almost did, but told myself I had already had my breakfast, and that it
was just the emotions of dropping my only kid off for kindergarten, not
hunger. It wasn’t that hard (THIS time) to resist.
On another note, a quick tip for a sauce for chicken, fish, whatever.
Last night we had my mother and a family friend over for dinner. I fixed
salmon (broiled) and two sauces. Both sauces were prepared the same way,
and were super simple to make, and super tasty! A couple of large
spoonfuls of plain, full fat yogurt into a Magic Bullet cup, and a bunch
of whatever herb, whiz for a few seconds, throw into the refrigerator.
One was tarragon, the other was chives. Pretty, really easy, quite
tasty. Could also do it with basil or cilantro (but I don’t LIKE
cilantro) or your favorite herb.

I thought I wanted to see how much longer I could fit into a cool pair
of shorts that I have that could not wear for the longest time. So I
tryed them on and could not believe my eyes they fit and and even big
on me which I will not beable to wear that long before they get to big
on me. So i thought it was time to measure myself and I had to do it
twice because it was alot of inces I lost. I lost 13 1/2 inces since
July 12, 05.
I had for breakfast this morning 1 egg beater with a little cheese and
1 tablespoon of apple sauce with pear sauce and no sugar in it, my
girlfriend made it for me from scarch.
I slep alot this weekend because I was not feeling so good but no I
feel so much better now.

My Bypass was ROU-Y Proximal 80 CM.

I tried to drink my protein tonight but no luck the gas pains hurt too
much and tried to eat something but still hurt the gas pain and found
out what part of my problem is I think the heat one thing and the
other was gas pains. I went and had some Tums and suck on them but no
luck it relasing and used to be able to burp no problem but not
tonight. I went and through up again it releve some of my gas but not
all of it. I have to go play with my cocktail for while then try going
to bed and laying on my left side. Used to be able to drink a cream
soda used to help now I cannot have it. I was only able to do small
burps and I need one big one.
Any ideas please?
thanks

I asked this question on obesityhelp, but no one answered, save one
person, who told me to come here and ask it, since problems are often
discussed here.
I am planning on having the DS in December. I hear frequently of
regains and regrets with the RNY and VGB, but not with the DS. Are
there any DSers out there with regrets or regain? I’d really like to
know as much as I can before having the surgery. Thanks in advance!

I was out in this heat today and always had a hard time being out in
heat too long. Instead of lunch I had a 6 oz protein drink today. When
I was out I had my water with me and sipping on it all day long. My
water goes everywhere with me. I got home and cook dinner and I made
for me fish and reheat instant patotoes and add cheese. I started
eating and got where I got sick.
What could have happened could have been?
After I released it out of my system and now I am resting I feel
better but still hungry.
I am sipping on some water right now.
If you have any ideas let me know please?
I am on pureed stage till October 5, 05.
thanks

I went and tryed this from my protein lady and it was so good I had to
buy it. It not like the other Nectars I tryed and did not like. I
needed something besides Chocolate and Vanilla proteins. The other
proteins were to sweet for me and it used to be I love things sweet.
