MAMA22 diary

Thank you, think my sister just reached rock bottom last Christmas she has been repeatedly cheated on by her last ex's and had one illness after another. As I said a doctor gave her antibiotics she is known to be allergic to and told her they were something different this then caused a collapsed lung and in icu on a ventilator for her 30th birthday and Christmas. The doctors didn't even question when she asked for surgery as they could see her history. So for her last Christmas being able to eat normally she is coming to us this year and I have planned lots of little but nice food. She is also coming to stay after her op. don't think I could do it go with out a fillet steak cooked red ever again or a fizzy drink

I have friends that have had this op and they are able to eat most things in small portions.

One (J) of them had two sisters who also had the op (obesity ran in her family) and one of them gained the weight back. I was surprised that she was able to do that -- but she did. J has kept it off for over 15 years.

The only issue she has is some loose skin on her arms and tummy -- but she can't get her insurance to pay for the tummy tuck or arm lift. I think hs ehas been saving to pay for it herself.

I know two people who regained a fair bit of weight after WLS and losing it all. Binge eating disorder is as strong as any other eating disorder.

After that all I have to make is chicken korma, chicken jalfrezi, chilli, rice, jacket potatoes, lasagne, garlic bread, and a salad and thats just for the family party on Sunday still have sandwiches to make on Saturday for the kids party. All this is testing my will power lol

I love doing the Xmas cooking, but not so keen this year. I suppose there is no one to cook for if me and OH are on CD.

I'm going to cook at my sisters for 6 of us, and really looking forward to it. I'll have a vegetarian Christmas dinner then back on the Shakes until new years. Will you cook or just stick to your plan?
