Topic: Reading a Stunner Book
Hi there - went to Barnes & Noble yesterday and found this book - just reading a few pages in the store compelled me to buy it and I am amazed by its presentation and how it so directly corresponds to the way I relate to and mange food in my life. For those of you who feel you might be a food addict on any level, I encourage you to pick this up. It's really opening my eyes to the possibility of getting a handle on this:

P.S., Crissie - I didn't know you had lost that much weight! Would you mind sharing your stats - pre-surgery weight, day-of-surgery weight, lowest weight achieved, and where you're at now! If I were you I'd be screaming these numbers from the rooftops!

I was just thinking about you yesterday while I was tooling around in my car attending to life's minutia of details - glad to see you back. Take good care of you. What's the word on the job front? Maureen

Topic: RE: Checking in
Hi Judy - don't ever go away. I need you here. I think a few of us are doing quite well but there are many more of us who are experiencing post-surgery life similar to your feelings and cir****tances. You are not alone, my dear friend. Please don't be sad. I am about to post another thread - take a look at it. Love you, Maureen

I was 62 Feb. 9th. and everything on me hurts!! It's an age thing. I've aged more in the last two years than I did in the first 60. I'm not going to retire because I need something to make me get up everyday! Y'all have something to look forward to! I still think I'm young till I try to do the things I used to.

HI Pammy
I am monitoring my BP on my own & it has dropped topretty good levels, where the BP drugs
were causing my BP to be out of control.
The Thyroid pills & antidpressants were causing the weight gain, as the thyroid pills were not
being obsorbed. Yes, I was concerned about going cold turkey off the antidepressants cause
of the horror stories. I am O.K.
I monitor my sugars & they run pretty darn good on the low-carb lifestyle I pretty much stick to
these days. I will have my AIC checked next month to make sure it is still O.K. that is the one that
can kick your but pretty quickly without much warning.
I am really trying to get back to the NO SUGAR rule, I should have never started. Some days are O.K, some are not.
Alll-in-all I feel much better. I'm hoping this new Doc will at least listen to me, the one I just left
was killing me softly with these meds. I was telling her for months we needed to change them.
She just kept addinf more of something. My body reacted badly. I took the challenge & so far am
very glad I did.
I still drink way too much coffee (my addiction of choice) but have cut that in half as well. I WILL GET below 200 lbs. I never did & have started re-adjusting my attitude.
Sorry this got so long winded. Just no I am keeping close eye on my health & will keep you
all better up to date.
