Topic: RE: Did you have your surgery in KY? If so, what surgeon?
I had mine with Dr. Thompkins at KDMC in Ashland, KY. I lived in Prestonsburg at that time and it was the closest facility. I am happy with my results. Living in AL now!
Good luck to you!

Good luck to you!

Topic: Did you have your surgery in KY? If so, what surgeon?
Hello, fellow Kentuckians! I am new to OH and new to the exploration of WLS. I was wondering if you had your surgery in KY. If so, what surgeon did you choose? Thanks for your input!

Hello Z
I had a good week. Lookiing back at my weeks before this I see what I was eating that was not good. I was eating sweets...cake, cookies...not alot but enough to add up. It may sound strange, but it is kinda good it happened. I had to have a wake up call...I am human and cannot eat and eat and eat without ramifications.
So, I am working my tool and went down 5 pounds. I KNOW that the success was due to dilligence and very few carbs. I would like to loose 2.5 -5 more and I will be happy.2.5 will put me where I was stable for months, 5 at my lowest I was stable at. I am a bit below what doctor set for me and he told me not to loose more. I know where I could BUT I also know where I was. And, being thankful to be where I am now I try real hard NOT to dwell on not being skinny...i remind myself how healthy I am and to remember that is what it is about.
I have decided Saturdays will be my relax some days but I did not go crazy I got lots of protein in and that is the key for me.
Tomorrow being Father's day I made a special dessert for my hubby and I will eat a few bites but will not eat more than that. I have these really little bowls and will use one of those... heck I might lick it clean...j/k.
So I will post tomorrow my foods and how I am doing. Hope your weekend is a good one.

All,
Just reporting to say protein up, fat down. Took my vitamins and worked on the pool. However carbs and calories up. Got a little carried away yesterday with snacking. Today will be better. This is what I consumed yesterday.
Hope you did better than me. Tomorrow's menu will be better. Take care and eat and drink smart.

Topic: RE: celebrating
Glad to hear from you. Sorry you had to have surgery but glad you are doing ok and being what you want to be, wide, mother, grandmother and successful at wls and taking care of you. When I started my weight loss journey you were one of the first to welcome me. I am still working on it. Thanks. Getting older can provide its limitations but the blessings far outweight them. Take care,

Hey all...long time. Just a quick note to say I just realized it's been 8 yrs today since my RNY bypass. Still keeping my weight under control...I struggle and always will..
When I play with my grandkids I remember why I had this surgery..I am about to have two boys added to my crew. ..a total of 6 grandkids in 4 yrs...I couldn't have played with them..babysat them..sat up with a sick one at night or been there for my kids during the grandkids birth at 325lbs..
Surgery this march to fix female problems..ended up with a total hysterectomy..more complications and I am back in the OR this Wed...getting older sucks..lol.
Each year my on surgery anniversary I have always taken that time to reassess life and it's challenges..I am doing what I can to better my health..emotionally and physically. If not, then it's time to work at getting it together. Life is what I want it to be.;-) and right now, it's being a wife, mother, grandmother and the best I can be for me;-)
remember to take care of YOU!!!!

Topic: Thurs, 6/16/11 - What Did You Eat Yesterday?
Was I dark and sweet yesterday or what? Did not set a good example. I did take my vitamins, drank propel zero and worked in the garden. However I gave in to my carb craving. Calories low, protein low, carbs high. Will do better today. Here's yesterday
Take care and enjoy your Thursday.
