Merry Christmas!!!

So....who else over-ate?

Ugh I feel gross. 

Although I realize 'over-eating' now is NOTHING compared to what it was before, I still feel pretty damn bad. 

I got up early to make breakfast.  I had half an egg, a piece of sausage, and half a cup of grits.

Christmas lunch included Chicken pie, a SMALL piece of honey ham, green beans, and a deviled egg.  After lunch, we took a break to open gifts and then went back for dessert.  At least (due to family diabetes) all of my dessert was sugar free.  I had a small sliver of sugar free chocolate pie and 2 small servings of sugar free apple pie. 

Dinner consisted of half cup of chili and half cup of slaw (my parents had hamburgers the other day).  This was actually surprisingly good mixed together-- I didn't even miss the bun or the actual hamburger.

I'm not sure what happened to my band today, but I know I ate too much.  I'm not going to beat myself up over it too much, it was Christmas and tomorrow is a new day to make it right.  And I doubt I will eat much Thursday anyway since I'll be having lithotripsy (basically my surgeon is going to beat me to smitherenes with sound waves) to take care of that pesky kidney stone, so maybe it evens out.

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Burger or salad?

Image
I've been craving a burger. Not just any burger. A CHAR GRILL burger. Char Grill is a local NC burger joint that used to only be in Raleigh, but now there are several other locations in Cary and Chapel Hill.  The one in Chapel Hill is my own personal hell , because it is SOOOO close to my work.  I drive by and smell the lovely scent of grilling....EVERY...SINGLE...DAY. So today I finally went and ordered a Jr. Cheeseburger, no bun. This is what I got:   A cheeseburger?  Or a salad? Anyway, I was slightly amused by how much lettuce is "on" my burger. Coincidentally, I know my taste buds have changed...because this was not as delicious as I imagined it would be.
