Any regrets?

The pair of you sound like you are understanding yourselves and working through things... riding the ups and downs... do you find your shopping list has changed for your families now? xxx
 
Bev it has deffinately changed! It will change even more when I get my head round it better. When I see the portions the family have and think how much I used to eat I cant believe it! Its really quite embarrassing :eek: I find I but a lot less meat, as when I do have some its only a tiny bit. When I do thinks like curry or savoury mince and spaghetti bolognaise I end up having a tiny bit and making all little portions for dinners the next day as theres so much! It balances a little money wise though as I buy some thinks for me that I didnt really eat before. :D XX
 
That's worth something then, you are doing really well Jac and hope it continues for you love... what are you doing on Christmas Day eating with family this year Jac? xxx
 
The looking at peoples portions is a strange thing isnt it, last Christmas was my first since the op and so I was having tiny little amounts and feeling stuffed and having to rest lots. Everyone around me was eating mountains of food and I was truly astounded at just how much they were packing away...brimming full plates of turkey dinner and then piling more on and then not long after masses of desert and then chocolates and biscuits etc and I was like whoaaaaaaaaa, I cant of ever eaten that amount surely, but I always had and it had seemed normal, but once you are on such small amounts of food other peoples portions look comically massive. It was a very strange experience, though Im used to it this year so it shouldnt be such a shock. It really doesnt compute in your mind post-op how you could have ever fit that amount of food into you!

Well my daughter and family are supposed to be going to her In-Laws this year.......we have turns each lol. But her M-I-Law has a new beau and shes going to his house so we have the pleasure daughter/son-in-law and 2 grandaughters on Christmas Day :D We will probably go to their house round the corner, she will cook and I will help so Im really chuffed :D XX
 
Thats how I think Steph, I cant believe I got through such massive portions! Christmas dinner will be an eye opener for me this year :D XX
 
Plus you can relax and be yourself, plus eat at your pace... that sounds great Jac... you are all so close though I have seen the way the chicks wrap themselves around you.. love and hugs xxx
 
You can feel the love and strength amongst you all Jac.. it's very noticeable.

I will regain my weight and more without the surgery.. I can't wait to go.. so I can get my insulin reduced and get cracking...

We'll have to have some meet ups here by the sea for sure when the weather gets warmer...

That's a certainty... for certain and you'll meet Meerkat and my babes xxx
 
Is it rude to invite oneself to other people nicpics? I could bring the carrot sticks :)
 
Well... I'm wondering about putting a party on over here when the weather gets warmer... I could do with that and we could all get to meet... everyone will be invited...

I said to hubby after my cancer treatment that I wanted to do this not felt well enough yet and still having very tired days, but it's not always going to be and we could have a great time.

I'm going to give it some thought as we get the better weather...

So you know me... never ever say never...

Love and hugs to everyone xxx
 
I have no regrets at all. I have had rough days and hated it briefly but it was over as soon as it started. I was worried about meals, eating out and stuff like that. But I was worried for nothing.

My life is so much sweeter and it has improved immeasurably. Even my husband has lost 25 pounds and my kids all eat the healthiest of meals. This is now OUR life... not just mine. I love the new me and I love how I feel each day.
 
Everyone will be invited and I've got half an acre here that I use for a marquee now and again, so that will go up and we'll have a great time!

Once I get back to my normal robust self there'll be no stopping me and I know it's coming... My diabetic specialist who has pushed for my surgery said yesterday... it's going to be the best thing I have ever done and I'll be in control of my food. I cannot wait... I have the majority of you in my diary and that's where you are staying... we'll have a blast and then a boogie on the beach!

Love and hugs to you all xxx
 
Well put your names down girls, everyone is invited and we could meet in a local hotel and have a spread or something here... once we have the numbers, we will sort... put your names down everyone, the more the merrier... we are an hour and a half from Chester, so come and enjoy yourselves.. Love and hugs xxx
