okay - now I have to see what GABA is.... @justgirl81 DO You recommend it? From my mini-research, it sounds like its one way to lose a couple pounds. I'm like "sign me up!"

I'm on the fence regarding GABA. I've never heard of it promoting weight loss that I can recall; I used it primarily for sleep.

Decreased appetite was one of the things I read. I guess calming one-self down could also help with weight loss. I also was researching different foods to have to boost it naturaly. such as Miso - I used to have that a lot.

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood by calming the nervous system. It plays a big role in helping you relax, reducing anxiety, and promoting better sleep by slowing down nerve activity. It's particularly useful for countering stress and promoting a balanced mood.

Mom had her pacemaker defib. pt in yesterday and she ended up being admitted to the hospital. Hoping she gets released today but, she continues to say she is in a lot of pain ( yet doesn't exactly show the signs of that pain being as high a she says it is). The doctors are running an ECHO this morning. They did CT and EKG lastnight and this morning. both show that all is functioning as expected. They feel she is a little dpressed. She realy wants to go to the nursing home for a week or two...hmmmm
has me wondering if she just wants to have that be her residence. Something for me to talk about to my brothers.

Short post for now.

Is it a rehabilitation nursing facility she wants to go to? Where was she living prior to the surgery? At home or with someone else? A nursing rehabilitation facility can be an excellent transition step down period from hospital to home in many cases. I've found that fear, presenting as anxiety and depression can be very common post-op, and transitional care can help with these symptoms.

That's a great idea. I think she would like assisted living...but I don't think she can afford it at all.

She is/was living at home alone. My brother visits and calls her daily - and she is out and about most of the time when it is nice (drives and goes browsing in stores). We are hopeful that if she needs to go to a swing bed or a nursing home for a couple weeks, that they will release her to them. She has done that for the past 2 hostpital stays.

As of this morning(monday) they are not saying she is depressed at all. they ended up finding that they did an oopsie during surgery and she was feeling a post surgical complication. They've managed it. this morning seems to be going well for her. I hope to hear from the doctor report this morning on what we are thinking the next 24-48 hours are.

@ceebeeslim she is being released to a nursing home today for extra PT/OT - walking, endurance. Crazy how a same day 4 hour procedure turned in to this mess. Never again will I say she can have a procedure done. She obviously cannot handle them.

Thanks for asking. Besides her endurance, she seems to be fine (from what I can tell via text and phone calls). Nurses and doctors say she's 100%

I have to start to log pictures and more data again. I say I want to get back to where I was oct 7th - yet continue NOT to do so. Perhaps the extra logging and photos were helping with accountability.

Morning inspo:


Every single one of us deviates from our nutrition and
exercise plan from time to time, whether it’s unplanned
snacks or one-pound burgers, extra fries, and a 20 ounce
shake.

We’re not robots, we’re human.
Our behavior is more complex than simply “doing the thing and making no mistakes.”

Plus, there’s a whole middle ground that gets completely
overlooked when the only options are: 0 or 100.

More often than not, I’d argue that all-or-nothing
leaves you with, well,
nothing.


Those who WIN and accomplish their goals are those who:
focus consistently on:
doing their best,
learning from mistakes,
and getting back to consistency

Essentially, what separates those who succeed
from those who fail is
how they respond to the screw ups.

From now on, I want you to embrace this:
1. Mistakes happen.
2. Learn from them, grow from them.
and
3. Never let a few mistakes keep you from getting
back on track.

What Went Well: I stuck to eating healthy and ended the day with a small treat. Felt good to say that.

What I can improve upon today: after dinner snack, I just need to be a big girl and make a protein shake to sip on. That will satisfy my sweet tooth. Although I know some of this is simple stress from taking care of Mom.
