 Glad to see you back on the board.  Been kinda lonely.  Good job on maintaining.

I had one week vacation that I spent in Colorado. Some in Denver and some in Copper Mountain area.
I did not exercise much last 2 months before I went on the trip, and I was very surprised that I was able to keep up walking and hiking with my friend from Denver. (Denver and the mountains have higher altitude - less oxygen). I even hiked up to 12,000 feet and I was able to do that.  Yepee...
I guess getting iron infusion series just before I left for vacation made me able to breathe up there. 

Anyway - on vacation - I still maintained low carb diet.  But I drank a lot of wine with all that meat and cheese. 

The low carb diet, even when I overated (qty) and drunk a lot of wine, but with the hiking - not only I did not gain - but I lost 1 lbs. How great is that?

I bought some great - REAL polish sausage from Denver, so I will be eating that next couple of weeks. 
 
REAL Polish sausage - from a polish store - made by Polish people for us.- it taste different that american polish sausage you can get in a regular store (we usually don't eat that...lol).  And if you ever see a polish store in your area - stop buy and you may be lucky and they may have real - good polish sausage (if you lucky - though not every polish store has real polish sausages).

so, overall
Surgery: 5/14/2008  = 4.5 years post op
Surgery weight (before preop diet): 254 lbs
Lowest weight: 142 lbs (way too low for me, size 4, very weak)
Current weight - 165,
Goal weight: 155-160
Frame: Large
Clothing size: 6-10 (10 for the boobs, jeans - 6, dresses - what ever fits lol)

Overall goals:
To be Fit and Happy, with energy, not RH - no low blood sugar; with good memory, good ex drive. No pain after eating, not too much gas or constipation.  
( I am asking for a lot - no? )

 Hala:

Sounds like you had a great trip.  I will have to keep my eyes open for those real polish stores.  I don't think I have ever had the geniue article.  Have a great week.

I will invite you to visit and have some - but you would need to be here this weekend - after that it may be gone...lol...and I am not sure I can buy it here even shipped here  the same quality stuff.  i forgot how good they are... we used to have a really nice polish store here...
