birds are soooooooooo intelligent-our macaws have awesome vocabularies but will NOT speak on command!!!
paulie is so cute!!!!!

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Topic: RE: Hi Everyone!
heh... and just to add a little more... some of the things I was eating that I'm not now:

Carb Control dannon yogurt. (i liked that stuff)
Carb Control Milk!!! (I liked that too...)
Crystal Light... ok well, i still drink that.
Isopure Protein drink.
NO CARBS (i didnt even crave bread anymore) (I'm not saying multigrain is bad. just posting what i was doing differently) no pasta either and after awhile i didn't crave it at all!
I was having these no sugar frothy shakes with a scoop of protein in them. It was like a milk shake but made with this no sugar stuff. They were sooo good! 
Carb free chais and carb free candy! 

I just never ate sugar and was loosing like mad.... My new years resolution is to get back to that point if at all possible. remember what changes I had made and that I was ok with it then and even though its gonna be a bit of a struggle... i'll be ok with it again

Topic: RE: Hi Everyone!
You know...just to add to this... if anyone is seriously struggling like me and just gaining or cant seem to get with it... what sorta helped me a little is going to the main board and just reading what the surgery patients who just had surgery are going through and eating even one year out and months out. Its like a lightbulb clicks on in the head and im like "oh yeah!" sheesh... i forgot. I think I tend to conveniently forget alot.

Topic: Hi Everyone!
Happy Holidays!  Hope this finds everyone well. Just wanted to pop in and say hi since it's been awhile since I've been on. Tied up with the holidays. Been eating chocolate and all the stuff I shouldn't. Tried not to go overboard though. Which I dont think I have too badly. My neck is alll better. THANK GOD! that was awful!!!  I had my bloodwork done. I'm severely deficient in B12. have to go in for B12 shots like 3 times this week, 2 times next week, 1 time the following then once a month until my levels get better. Fun stuff. Stupid thing hurt today! I am also very dificient in Vitamin D. I drink milk all the time too...but thats not enough. I have to take a prescription strenght Vitamin D pill once a week for 6 weeks. I am also deficient in iron. Taking an over the counter iron supplement every day. I think thats going to be a problem though, because I have already been doing that. And apparently its not enough. So not sure about that part in regards to the iron. I think ill try another brand.   chrismas was fun this year with the little girl. We finally got her to say Maaamy miss miss. (merry christmas) but she wouldn't do it on cue of course. She has had a ball. My son too. Got him this neat robot for christmas called mr personality. He was thrilled along with all his other stuff. its been fun. Still have one more gathering to throw for new years then we're done and then it will be time to get serious and remember how I'm supposed to be eating. I have to hit that vitamin shoppe and get my vitamins and protein and bars and remember how it once was! 

((hugs!))

Topic: RE: How Is Everyone Doing?

I ate Christmas too  and am stuffed!   and ALSO have not weighed in yet!!!  lol... hope you had a nice holiday!  Hang in there. I get like that too sometimes with drinking. and forget it if I have a beer...that like...goes straight through, no stopping anywhere!  lol... I'm not in a good spot weight wise thats for sure. Gotta change how I'm eating. Thats all there is to it. I gotta hit the vitamin shop, get my GOOD vitamins and my proteins shakes and bars and get back to how I'm SUPPOSED to be eating. We all tend to forget we had surgery and really should NOT be eating any sweets and bad carbs... THATS BAD CARBS! LOL!!!!  not the good kind. Not the fruit and leafy greens and fruits and nuts... those are the good carbs. anywhoo.... i know i need to "remember" where I was about 3 years ago. ((hugs!!))

Topic: RE: Happy New Year-Let's start over!
I'm with ya! Ack, I try to pay no mind at all to those "perfects" on tv. lol... I'm too wrapped up in my own family and life to pay any mind. My family knows by now who I am and what to expect so I'm not trying to live up to anyones expectations, except my kids of course. Just want to make them happy on christmas :)  You can only do what you can. and 9 times out of 10 I've learned its enough and sometimes more than expected. gosh... if that made any sense. lol...   I'm with you on the resolutions. I need to get back to the thought process that "I've had weight loss surgery" hellooooo.... I'm different. have to eat differently and have to supplement etc.... need to re-visit  my past and get with it so I can have a better future :)  Hope everyone had a happy holiday!!!
