Topic: RE: Oatmeal, how do you feel about it?
I love oatmeal and have it most every morning. I also love to put 1/2 a banana in it for sweetness. I also will eat a bit of peanut butter later for some protein. If I eat too much oatmeal, though, I will get sick. I guess it is the carbs. I do love the instant low sugar best...but I have to be careful with it.

Congrats on the approval. I just want to say that I had GBS September 13, 2005 and would do it again. I have had no problems, with the exception of the ones I caused by eating too fast or overeating. Over time, you will be able to eat more than at first, which you will see, you eat very little at first. Now, over 5 years later, I can eat most anything, with the except of too much sugar. That still makes me sick (too much starch foods, etc.) I still cannot eat steak well or anything dense as steak. Noodles are hard to digest. HOWEVER, I love my life now. I have stopped losing and in fact, am losing now around 8 pounds that I put on since summer. Yes, I could gain all of my weight back if I wanted. But I don't want to. I pray every day for help with an addiction to food that I still have not conquered, but it is much better than 5 years ago. In the end, you will have to decide whether to have WLS or not. I know many who have had complications. I know many who have gained weight and I know many more who have now a vibrant and healthy life. I wish you all the best!!!!
Topic: Bad words
Last night, I was getting Gage ready for bed. He is 2. He said, "Kim, did you know butt is a bad word?" I said, "No, baby, butt is not a bad word." Without missing a beat, he said, "Well, dumba$$ is." Duly noted Gage-a-roo! LOL

Susan, gastric bypass was the best thing I ever did for myself in my entire life. My doctor had told me I was a walking "time bomb". Now, if that didn't scare me, I don't know what did. I was going to die if I didn't have surgery. Go for the gusto girl and never look back. I never had any complications directly from surgery. Have I been sick since surgery? Of course, but never from the surgery itself. Don't listen to all those people trying to talk you out of it. They are just jealous. It's taken you all these years for a reason and now God has allowed you to get to the point that you can actually have the surgery. There's a reason and a time for everything, and now it's your TIME. Just remember, you can do ALL things through God. Let Him be your guide, your strength, your Comfortor.
Best of luck and be blessed.

Hey Margie. Good to see you. How are things? It's been a long time. I didn't get to make my annual December meeting this past year either. I really missed it. It's the only one I ALWAYS make and didn't even get to do that one. I was sad. Keep me updated and let me know how you are. You can also find me on Facebook if you go there as well. Or you can email me outright at [email protected] Looking forward to hearing from you.
