Chronic pain can be so exhausting - mentally and physically draining. It sounds like it will be a long, hard haul, but keep fighting Cookie. You can do it FOR SURE.

Sister Scaleback RNY Cathy, thank you so much for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers. I know you are right about the right foods playing a big part in the game. It the wrong foods I eat (sweets & Carbs) that get me into trouble every time. So now I'm back on my veggies, fruits and lean proteins. A Big Hug for you you!
You're in my thoughts and I hope you feel better, Lucille. I'm doing good in adhering to my food plan as usual -- but will I make other changes I need to in life?! Same old stuff pretty much. I'm looking forward to Extreme Weight Loss starting its new season again this month. I hope you can make good choices and get more active when you can.
So sorry you are in pain. I understand that one. I have had 2 back surgeries. I am actually dealing with some pain now. Traction and physical therapy helps me. I m praying for you! Hugs!!! Carla
Hey Lucielle ! So sorry you have been in pain ! Praying for you !! You aren't alone for sure ! Have you considered optifast ? I hope you can get it off and get the surgery you need to correct the issues sooner than later. Breads carb loads is comforting for the moment, for sure! You can also sit down and prep foods and bake instead of sandwiches.. Or crock pot meals maybe ? Hugs my friend keep Hanging in there ! Zen 🌺
zenmaiden1 Thank you Zen. I really need prayers, understanding and friendship to help me through this one. I tried Optifast years ago when Oprah was on it...could not last one day...now I'm back on the pound of cure program eating veggies, fruit and protein...sugar and carbs are out of my life once and for all. I have to keep telling myself that those things are highly addictive drugs that are killing me. I did crock pot me my standard veggie soup with some chicken in it and have been eating it all week. Also, Raw veggie salads are a daily event for me and cantaloupe, pineapple and strawberries are my fruit salad for snack or desert and a small amount of nuts are tossed in there too. I'm back on my water again getting in as much as I can daily, so maybe this will do the trick to get those numbers lower on my scale even though I'm not exercising at this time. I am going for my first back therapy session on Wed. I'm Hoping to get through it without my pain getting worse. All I can do is try my best and keep telling myself that this is the first step towards recovery. I'm hanging in there... Hugs!
