Wow!!! Feels good to be here....hope to find different maintence ideals and get back to the program.
Where I'm finding I need help is the nausea after eating anything.....
Since RNY Bypass I've experienced nausea almost every meal.  For a while, I used protein drinks...and I guess I will have to go back to them... I've lost 12 pounds in 3 months and food isn't appealing to me....


NOW THAT sets of a big white light bulb......Who me???? Not hungry????
Anyway... I have so say I'm happy about being able to physically move and enjoy a long walk without breathing hard.
Walking longer distances and being able to say no to the fats and many of the bad sugars....
But tell you what.....love the Peanut Butter and Co. Sweet dreams peanut butter and will be on menu for my continued days...yummy!
So to the season/////  Merry Christmas   and many many good years ahead....B

  Didn't I mention that I'd get to working out again---Well It's May 2009 and yes, Started again.....Boy what a difference. I Really must recommend getting out to a gym/rec center 3 times a week. I've been slacking on the walking due to route changes, so had to set my mind to getting into a routine,  Wow it feels good. So now with extra energy comes-oh no- weight loss. My goad is set for 135.
I'm now around 165 lbs. Gained 9 lbs. from my lowest of 156. (recent) So wish me God's graces. I thank him for the second wind, and here we go. You know it will be 2 years on the 21st of May -surgeversity- whoopee.
Reflection: What has changed about me. #1 New Teenager.
#2 Can wear normal clothes/even my HB's.
#3 I can run/ not lope around.
#4 No medications or medical problems as before.
Yea! You can do it too.
Oh, I'm looking for a new puppy as well. Why not! After the 4th of July.
B.....

It's a bummer----weight is creeping on-6 lbs heavier-----but now I caught it---was staying away  from the scale- big mistake and am now returning to my p. shakes and extra walks.....I'm not going to gain any more-----I need help and will get to a group meeting soon......please Lord....help me to help mysself.....those dang carbs as well.
No excuses........kick me....it hurts...

So, is it true!!!!!!  I'm still in the 150's and not gaining all my weight back....the miracle of WLS and the RNY bypass.....Thank-you Dr. Brown again, and again, and Thank-you Kaiser Permanente for the continued sponsorship.
Now that said, all the energy is building up again and am so into going fishing this season.
Last year it was a goal to do more excersize, ok and now I'm adding fishing back......
But I will have to walk to different streams and further places than before.
So Spring-----just spring on in here soon.....
Doing pretty good, just eating a bit too much carbs, as usual. And getting by with the HB in his walker stage. (recovering from surgery) ....
Oh My God......thank-you again  :)

Just coming out of a serious wirlwind. My HB busted his hip the day before Thanksgiving. So much emotion-not really a handle on my eating- just turning to fast food- some good-some bad- weighed in at 161 today. Ok so now I'm checking in on a few suggestions posted at OH.
Taking a few moments now to reflect on what has happened and my thoughts are now turning it over to a Higher Power. With all of your help. I can do this!
Back to more protein drinks and away from fast food......)goal!!!!
Thanks for listening to me.

Hi to you all,
Sitting pretty at 150 pounds and sure see an improvement in measurements here and there.
I must get a little graphic here-----boobs are draging and the tummy skin is as well. But as one member says it as long as you look good, it don't matter! Yes, I can live with it, but if the money was there and I do pray that it will be made, I will have the neccessary surgery to remove the excess skin and feel even better about myself.
I'm getting older, yet allthough, I do have regrets on the choices I've made in life the fact is this:
I'm closer to obtaining the healthier lifestyle (in my dreams) that means that prayers have been answered.
I have a loving HB!
The retirement is in sight!
More prepared to go on with another occupation and will be dang good at it....
Still have co-workers come up to me and comment on how good I am looking....Thank-you all!
The willingness is still there, now the want to.....please Lord keep me in your graces, and your heart.
Amen.......
I've enrolled in the Walk for Obesity here in Denver for October 12th (a 1k walk) It's a start and one of my goals. So far that is just wonderful, and I don't have words on how great that is for me.....I hope to see my surgeon, Dr. Brown.....Can't wait......:)

Just back from 2 week vacation and it was great being at the beach once more. We visited  family and driving the entire distance by car was wearing on me and HB. Tended to snack more, and brought along enough snacks to feed an entire family of 5. That must be the Mom in me. We didn't go hungry, EVER>>>>Good food follows us.
But with this said, I lost 6 pounds since last weigh in. Who would of thought!!! It was a surprise. So now I have to even keel myself, and find the time for the excercise I love. New time slot at work, and more house, OH MY!
All in all everything is fine, and picked up a new vegetable based protein powder to try soon.
Grateful to be here, Bonnie

I missed July posting by one day. But it really hasn't been easy, and I guess this is my confession post. I have been on a lul.
I also have increased hunger substantially since my last post. I can now eat an entire sandwich of whatever I have made. So now the bells, alarms, ringers, are all going off and since I have recently have had a bout of constipation for the last week and a half, I can now post it here that my hunger has returned and some bad habits as well.
Snacking on anything with nuts......granola....peanut butter......even protein bars.....with nuts......
Ok, I don't do soda's, very little bread, but have found that I can tolerate sugary stuff now with no dumping effects. Not good!!!! Should I post these truths, or hide it here in my post. I have gained 2 pounds OMG, but the last weigh-in I managed to loose 5 pounds resulting in 3 more pounds since plateuing in June....Well, found that Benefiber chewables are right for me, and drinking just plain old water best for me as well. I do enjoy Arizona Diet Tea, and also cheat with Folgers coffee every morning. If I do go back to Caffein free, I can't function very well at work. Need real Java!!!!Really!!!!
WHA-Waaa!!!!Ok - it's not all bad, I love to walk- and am riding my bike more. On our vacation and going to Washington to be with family and meeting at the beach, and also  to visit the step-children....Travel and diet. I'm not to happy with my appetite issues right now, but am going to choose more proteins over the stupid carbs that are lurking into my diet, I am on a diet, still, whether I like it or not..better choices, and need protein shakes more often.(Makes me feel good) Lots of energy later. All in all, I am getting a good look now of my progress, but like always I begin to faulter...please Lord help me now, for I don't need to go backwards, just forward please, to a healthy lifestyle, just being a size 16 is ok, but would like to be a bit smaller, OK....Bringing out the ammo, and making commitments online! Start journaling again, and get real with what I'm putting in my mouth.....
Later you all,,,,,,

Feeling better, Thank-you....
Doing so good! Even at a weight loss stall, I feel good. So what is going on this week------
Well for one --my B-Day...... the special number of 55.....can U Believe.....Now I can lean onward towards a career change later this year...and am going to do it. (Have already been offered a job) Can you believe!
So HB and I will go to the hills in celebration and also spend the evening looking at each other, regulating how much is put into the machines.....
Yep that is what he does....I Luv it.....cause I do what I want anyways.....And we have fun......
It is very rare we go together, to the casino.
My bike is ready to ride and attention to my food, attention to work-outs are in check. Gee did it again---Feel so good!
The new teenager, got her hair cut and highlighted--- and the gal did a great job.(A friend from work). (HINT) Probably another pound of hair loss, but by choice. Gotta go see,(nope the scale shows the same, darn. Even with all the hair loss I still am grateful for the RNY bypass.  
One of our class mates just have a g sleeve done.
Hope for his recovery, he waited another year for approval. TYLord I didn't have to wait another year for mine. Take care all, and May God Bless you all.

OK, I need to blog it now......Where is that other person? I pray to God that I can continue this journey of accomplishments to better health and feeling good about myself. Enough of that....I looked at my contents of my work bag and what did I have there? OK I'm taking inventory again!!!!!
Well, There were 2 waters ^ a piece of cheese strusel^ (what was I thinking)
a banana^ and a chicken sandwich on wheat bread.^ (something else I need to stay away from)
I ate most of the chicken, the banana, and (not the cheese pastry). Why in the heck did I put that in? The old head banging is on again. I know I can tolerate more sugar in foods now. But the knowledge of what I was before WLS with the stink'n thinking, stink'n food choices has got me going in circles again. The reason I'm writing about this is that I am human, one complete package of fragile reasonings. Well, maybe the inner child selfishness area's again. (Thank-youvery much) SSSOOOOO!!!!!!!
I'm now aware that this has to stop. Throw away that dang bread, that dang pastry, the HB won't eat it anyway, and start cleaning out the pantry, AGAIN.  Wish me luck, again. Cause I can do this.....With the Lords help....it can be done.   REACHING THAT GOAL OF FINE TUNING SPIRITUAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH....aMEN
