Well it was my birthday and my son Chris's so we went out to dinner at AppleBees with the whole family had a wonderful time.  Ordering was hard but aI ordered grilled shrimp with baked potatoe with sour cream.  I tried a small onion ring and cheese stick they tasted ok but the shrimp was very blah and the potatoe well I only nhad 2 small bites.  I weighed myself and I am 241.2 so the 2-3 lbs I gained is gone.  I am still very moody about food and I find it to be a very big chore to eat so I try to pass but I know I shouldn't do that cause in order to loose the wieght I have to eat.  I am trying to mix things up to give food some flavor and still getting the protein I need.  I am still have trouble with my bowels and I think that adds to my mood cause I have the urge to go but I feel like I am going to push out my rectum or pop a blood vessel in my head.  I am drinking alot of water and drinking V8 high fiber but I am at a loss.  I think I might be sounding like I regret the surgery but I am not I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.  I know this is another process that I have to get through and it will take time and I am going to take it one day at a time.  I have the support of my family and I am going to the support group on the 17th.
