Looks like no one can make it! :-( I am having surgery the the 15th, so looks like I might not be able to go either! :-(

I got home tonight after work and had a letter from Dr Loggins office to call and set up my surgery. FOr some reason they can't seem to get my cell phone updated into their system so they have been trying to call my home phone, which I am never at and have no message machine. Anyway I am happy to know I have been approved and now I will call first thing Monday and get a date!!!!!!!!!

Topic: 2 year surgi-versary

It's been 2 fast years!
I had my check up with Corey last week.
The Good!
My labs were great! In fact my vit B-12 was high, 1100's;. This was up from my 18 mo check-up, which was in the 700's. I am going to half my dose of B-12.
The Needs work.......
My weight is up. I am now at 199. Snacking is my enemy. I had joined weigh****chers the week before my check-up. I have a scale to be accountable to each week. I'm also getting a weekly dose of encouragement and support with eating issues. Darned they didn['t do brain surgery! Good that on WW I have lost 1.8 so far.
Exercise- I need to do more.

I figure I am a work in progress. So onward to do more work on me.

I still my RNY. It still does what it's supposed to- restriction. Regular meals are controlled- I feel full or hick-up when my mini tummy is full.
Snacking though- Yikers! the 1st day on WW I counted my snacking points. I am allowed 24 points per day. I had snacked on 20 points of nuts!!!! That was a wake up!
