Topic: RE: Surgery postponed because Humber has gone over quota??
That really does suck, but at least it wasn't postponed indefinitely! On a brighter note...I had Dr. Starr too and think he is awesome! Good luck on your journey and all the best! May the waiting time go quickly for you!

Topic: RE: WLS for family
Funny...I was just talking to my kids about this last night! Their eating habits have changed dramatically as well. I don't buy processed or prepackaged foods anymore and we eat alot of chicken, fish or high protein foods along with fresh fruits and vegetables. Yesterday, when my son and I went grocery shopping, I offered to buy him some treats like chips and dip and he actually said no! My daughter went away to a friends for the weekend and when she came home she complained about how they ate like "crap" as they were fed chicken wings, fries and pop. She said she coudn't wait to come home and have good food! They are teenagers and did not have a weight problem to begin with but subsequently have both lost about 10 lbs! Overall.....we all win!! Cheers to MUCH better eating habits!

Topic: RE: people around me are nuts!!
You're not alone....my sister, who knows about my surgery and who has been following my journey diligently, who knows I've changed my eating habits and lifestyle, asked me today while we were going through Tims drive thru if I wanted an Ice Cap and a donut! I looked at her like she had an extra head and asked her why she would ever ask me that after my surgery and she replied..."I don't know...just thought you might like one"

Topic: RE: Cold after Surgery Theory
Good theory. I was told it was because my iron is low. As taken from a website while I researched it....."Some people with iron deficiency (anemia) often feel cold and tired. They feel cold because iron plays a role in regulating the body’s temperature. Iron-deficient people tire easily because their bodies are starved for oxygen. Without enough iron, the body’s fuel cannot be properly synthesized." Makes sense too, but I'm sure there are many factors....

Topic: RE: Day 50 - Move Your Butt!! (Exercise Challenge)
Hi Sue....my motivation has been slightly lacking....must be the Feb. blahs...need Spring to come! Finished off last week just barely at 120 mins. My plan is to get back on the treadmill today or 30 mins and play Just Dance 2 with the kids tonight. Hopefully that will jump start my week! Have a good one!

Count me in too....I actually looked forward to it. Tasted like a Wendy's frosty if I mixed it thick enough and added SF chocolate syrup! Enjoy!

Topic: RE: Can your new stomach stretch?
Hi Dawn, just out of curiosity, if your pouch does stretch, can it shrink back? And this might seem like a stupid question, but if liquids go right through you, why do I always feel so full after a protein shake and can't eat anything...it's like a meal! I'm guessing its because of the nutrients?
Thanks, Kim

Topic: RE: Stoopid Question of the Day?
Little things here and there....highest lottery win $20 but many years ago, my ex and I went to Las Vegas. That morning before we left, I found out I was pregnant and then later that same night, at a slot machine I won $700. It was a good day!

Topic: RE: Note to Self: Remember How Good "Good Food" Tastes!!
I know exactly what you mean as well! We ordered a pizza last week and it used to be one of my faves.... I took a few bites and it honestly was really unappetizing! Never thought I'd live to see the day when ordering pizza was no longer appealing! lol I was sad for a bit, but then realized that loving those kind of foods is what got me to where I was pre-surgery. I'm happy that my taste buds have changed and will get me to where I want to be in my new life! Another reason why I love my RNY!

Topic: RE: Lately Can't eat much
Hi John! Even though I am only 3 mths out, that happens to me too. Some days I can eat more (which sometimes scares me) and some days, I can eat very little. It all depends for me, how dense the protein is. I try to take it all in stride as it hasn't seemed to affect my weight loss yet....see you Sunday!
