Topic: UPDATE!!!
I had my surgery scheduled for Dec 14th as my birthday gift to myself. Unfortunately, my Blood Sugar was at 370 at the time the surgery was set to begin and therefore got pushed back to Dec 16th. At the time of the surgery, I weighed 332lbs (down from 347 on Oct 31). Spent 6 days in the hospital while my Blood Sugar came down to a respectable number.
Now that I am home, I am getting in my walking by just walking in circles around the house. The scale at home says that as of Christmas Day, I stand at 312lbs and my Blood Sugar is steadily in the 130s - 140s (which means NO INSULIN SHOTS unless it goes to 150 and above).
The past couple of days have been really rough because I have my entire family and Mom's cooked meals around the holidays are absolutely the BEST!!!
I've stuck with the protein shakes and water. I use the Atkins Protein Shakes (Very Tasty) and I drink water (mixed with Sugar Free Hawaiian Punch.... Even More Tasty...
I cant wait until I see my Dr on the 29th and he clears me to eat solids and gets these damn staples out of my stomach.
I already know what I am going to eat when he clears me... Gonna use my Eggies to make me a hard boiled egg. (YUMMY!!!!!)

Topic: Ready for Christmas.
Hi Everyone,
Just a quick note to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year.
My tree is up, packages wrapped, House pretty clean (except for my bedroom which is a TOTAL disaster.)
Having church service at 4:00PM and to a friends for festive dinner.
Ellen and I are baking tomorrow. My friends son is pleading for my cookies. Wasn't going to bake this year, but plans change.
Hugs to all. Mag 
Topic: RE: Valuable lesson learned... beware of rice
Hi Becca,
I,too, am about a year out from RNY. I can not eat pasta yet. Get sick every time. I can do small amounts of brown rice, but only allowed 2 level tablespoons. Also my doctor suggested letting it dry a little before eating because it is very high water content. Hope this helps. Mag

Hi Jennifer,
I have not been walking for a few weeks. It is colder than normal here in AZ. I usually go to WalMart to walk if the weather is bad, but I use the excuse that is too crowded during the holidays. No cookies so far, but we are baking tomorrow for friends. That will be a real test for me. Mag

Hey Mags,
So glad to hear your knee surgery was a success. It's great to have that freedom of getting around and not have to rely on anybody else but yourself.
Hope you have a Merry Christmas and continue with your upbeat and encouraging messages. I always enjoyed them when I first had my surgery. You kept me going!

Jennifer,
Its so easy to fall of band wagon. I have been ill for the past 4 months. And have not been to the gym in that time frame. I have lucked out and I have not gained any weight thank goodness, but I don't have that overall good feeling I used to have when working out.
My doctors have given me the go ahead to resume working out again and that is my plan starting 12/26/11. I really believe that diet with out exersize doesn't work to make us look better. The exercise will make us look so much better. You lose 60 lbs alone just on diet it doesn't look as good as if you did it with the exercise. You will not be as flabby, You will have more inches lost, you will look more toned.
I see we had the same doctor for our surgery. Do you go to the monthly meetings at Highland on Tuesday nights? I haven't been to one in the past 3 months or so but they help to keep us on track. I enjoy talking to people in the next stage that I am in for advice.
Good Luck,
Sam
