As you all know, Spam is a canned precooked meat product eaten readily in the Hawaiian Islands (amongst other territories).  If you were wondering,  4 ounces of Spam (Turkey) is roughly 284 calories, 2 grams of carb, 16 grams of protein, but 24 grams of fat!  After weight loss surgery  you want to aim for <30 grams of fat each day so Spam would not be the best choice.  Opt for leaner meats such as:

Poultry: chicken or turkey (white meat, no skin)
Fish: cod, flounder, haddock, halibut, trout, salmon
Shellfish: clams, crab, lobster, scallops, shrimp
Egg whites/ Egg substitute

- Do you have a favorite protein dish that includes any of the above foods?

Hey Vicky,
Sorry so late in responding.  The hotel didn't have wireless.

I was able to confirm my reservations the day before our flight to San Fran so every thing worked out.  I called Gloria Ware and she was able to find out my confirmation number.  They were having problems with thier computers, so it took a few minutes.   I was very happy with the hotel.  It was really cool, even though we were hardly ever there!  Hehehe.

Viki, I did have a great time. This is the first time I've been home in eight years so it was great to see my extended family and friends that I haven't seen in years.

Thanks for the kind words and I have to say you are looking great. I just saw the most recent pic you posted and you look fabulous!

Thanks Debbie, I am still constantly amazed at all the changes and how quickly they happened. My poor brain is still trying catch up with my body. It has been an amazing journey so far!

Thanks Makena and you are right among my siblings I am the lightweight now. I talked to my sister about wls and I hope that she will seriously consider it.  I too enjoy not being recognized and seeing people's jaws drop, if that makes you evil then so am I, lol.
