Day 12

Calories: I stopped counting.
Protein: I'm sure it was over 60.
Water: I'm guessing 60.
Vitamins: yes

Movement: none

I had the waiter take the photo as we were out to dinner for our anniversary. The dinner was worth every calorie! We visited P. F. Chang's, an Asian food place. I don't know if they're nationwide.

Actually, our anniversary is Monday--we were married two years ago on Valentine's Day--but I don't like to go out work nights.

Tomorrow it's back to tracking!

My husband gave me a Fitbit for an anniversary/Valentine's gift (I didn't want an Apple watch because I thought it would be too complicated.)

Once I learn how to use the Fitbit, I hope it will motivate me to start walking.

Just curious are you in Illinois by chance? I was thinking most people might be off for President's Day next Monday, but not so many for Lincoln's b'day. So cool.

No, I am in California. I work in the schools, and we are fortunate enough to have Lincoln's birthday off every year.

Day 11 to 15 I did not track at all but I did keep track if that makes any sense. I did not overeat did not have food I should not eat. I just was not all that planed out as to what to eat. We went on some good hikes. Had lost of fun with my son and girlfriend. Just took them to the airport . So sad to have them go would love to have more time.

I am back to tracking my food and drink I know I have been bad at my water as it is just something I seem to have to force down each day.

Sorry I have been MIA and I haven't been tracking either. Dealing with family stuff. My daughter is here on "watch" as per her therapist. She is doing better but still struggling.

You have my sympathy, Judy. Don't worry about not tracking. It sounds like you have enough on your plate. I hope everything turns out well.

So sorry!!! You are a great mother that you stick around and help out often. When she is in a better spot please please please take some time to do something good for yourself you deserve this.

In my work I see too many families who give too much to the kids and do not give to themselves. Or the other way when they just stop helping the kids (who are adults) This group is very hard to see.

Again you are GREAT !!!

I woke up hungry at 2 a.m. last night. I had what I thought was a small snack, but I ended up waking from acid reflux three separate times. That's the downside to this surgery for me--acid reflux. I never had it previously. I finally had to sleep sitting up.

I think I will give my gastroenterologist a call today and make an appointment. I actually had both those medications prescribed to me several years ago due to my IBS. I stopped taking them because my problems seemed to resolve themselves.

Now I have nausea occasionally, too, again. I think I need the medication again.

I've had prescriptions since WLS from my nutritionist for omeprazole, Zofran, and colace. I take colace 2X daily, and the others as needed. I definitely would contact your team and discuss having these prescribed to you. No need to suffer unnecessarily. Good luck & hope you feel better. ❤ ❤
