Hi!!!
Sounds like you'll be glad to see 2009 go. I can't get over that youhad a heart attack and no one knew. that sounds really scarey. I'm glad they were able to take care of it. Did you have problems before with your heart?
I drink alot of water too. Its a sip all the time. I can't drink a full glass quickly so i know my pouch is still doing its job as best that it can. Now and then I dump too but since i've been on the diet from my endo things are back to normal. i wasn't a big dumper in the past but then again i stayed away from sugar that bothers me.
i've leveled out at 180 i'd like to be back in the 150's but have a hard enough time keeping it at 180. i need to get to the gym more often i'm very bad at that right now. when i had curves in town i was there ever single day but now that it has closed i just do not feel comfortable at the regular gym. gotta do it though i have no metabloism never did and the excersize is the only way for me to get some kind of one.
good luck with your knee. i hope it all goes well.
heres to a happy health 2010!

Reenie,
I check in here regularly but don't often post.
Life - It's been a very trying year...I had a "silent" heart attack about this time last year but didn't get diagnosed until June of this year. Felt lousy - but no one put the pieces together. I'm still having lots of troubles but am trying to work when I can.
I'm still maintaining my weight loss I've settled into "normal" for me between 137-143. Anything less I look really unhealthy - anything more and I hate the way my clothes fit. I still don't eat and drink at the same time but I do drink about 2 gallons of water a day. I had an ulcer last year and can no longer tolerate protein shakes but I take tons of supplements to keep my nutrition numbers at normal levels.
My left knee - the whole reason I had WLS has reared it's ugly little head of late and I'm facing knee surgery again. I'm really hoping they can do arthroscopic and just clean it out again and give me some more time before I have to have it replaced. Fingers crossed.
I seriously hope things in 2010 level out and I can coast for a while.
Merry Christmas!
Va

Kim, we went to sleep last night with nothing on the ground; woke up at 5am to about 15 inches and still coming down hard. Ollie was hysterical out there! She looked like the Tazmanian Devil plowing tunnels through the mountains of snow - when we first let her out to do her business, she stepped into the snow and was immediately swallowed up - like a gigantic wave taking a surfboarder under - I was shocked and scared until about 3 seconds later, she jumped right up and out of the stuff - right into the air, and then bounded through it with the utmost pure glee I've ever seen a creature express. She has been playing hard all day in, she can't get enough of it. Oh, what a joy she is!!! Stay warm - Reenie

Topic: Plans for my Holidays - What About You???
Jillian will be home in an hour! I haven't seen her in more than 4 months... I have two more work days and then off for 10 days, yippee!! I've made some medical plans, I want to nip this weight gain in the bud right now so I need to know what's going on with my innards. On 12/28, I have a barium swallow scheduled; it will determine how fast whatever I am ingesting is going through the pouch and stoma. On 12/30, I will be scoped to determine the size of my pouch and stoma, and also to check for any ulcers, perforations, anything abnormal. Once I am armed with that information (results) I'll figure out what to do next. What I have learned mostly from becoming active on the Main Board, where there are all sorts of people from all sorts of backgrounds and each opting for different types of surgeries - I don't have to simply accept my cir****tances - and I've got plenty of fight left in me! Otherwise, I'm healing from a fractured rib and man, is that ever painful! I don't do down-for-the-count real well - stay safe, friends, enjoy the snow! Kim, I can't wait to see Ollie romping in it - it's comin', that's for sure! Be well, all - Love ya, Maureen
