Today's gonna be a high calorie day I think -- I had a hard time sleeping last night and ended up waking up in the middle of the night and just staying up (the puppy is keeping me up - I am just not a cuddler! lol)

I ate a small bowl of left over pasta and I havent gone back to bed since then because I had an appt at the VA and just got back from that; and I have a phone appt at 2pm. Also, I grabbed a quick chicken sandwich at the VA and ate that on the way home - and that was not low cal. lol

So far, I am at 1765 for today - I may end up going to bed after my phone appt though so the day might be "over" for me in a few hours. Also, I have done really well, averaging just under 1700 cals/day over this past week (including today) so I am still on track I think.

I seem to really love the egg substitute omelets, but I usually get on something and eat the hell out of it for a while - I did that with tuna a few weeks ago and then salads a few weeks before that - so this may or may not last long. They make a good breakfast though, so I am trying not to burn myself out on them.

I dont understand how I can being keeping a diary and keeping trck of calories and trying to eat only a certain amount and still be gaining - that is frustrating. When I went to the VA today, they had me at 265 which is still good - their chart said I was 275 back in May, but it is 5lbs more than when I was there last week ..... ugh.

Whatever, I am just going to keep on going. They said I am a good candidate for their bariatric surgery because my BMI is 38 and I also have other stuff going on like the diabetes, High BF, high cholesterol, fatty liver, sleep apnea, etc .... listed out like that, I look like a friggin mess! lol

But they are still months away from their first candidates for surgery because they are still finalizing how they will work with the chosen outside hospital down in Tacoma, WA. She made it sound like I might be on the short list when it is time though - and she seemed optimistic. She also said I would be a better candidate for gastric bypass instead of lap band, so that's what I would get.

In the meantime, I will just keep making any small changes I can to eat better and I will continue with my Wii and Wii Fit Plus - they also gave me a pedometer so I can keep track of how much I walk each day - I am at like 1251 steps over the past 24hrs (1 mile = 2000-2400 steps), lol, so there's that!
