Topic: RE: 19 Month Post-Op Happy Holiday New Year Roll Call
Happy Holiday, Maysters, I am happy, both daughters are home for the week. I have my shopping and wrapping done, and my mom will be joining us from the nursing home for Christmas day. Being tempted a little by holiday treats, argh. Still have many moments of sadness and mourning for my father. As for the New Year, I gave up resolutions many years ago. Just the word "resolution" had a negative connotation to me. Instead, I focus on "aspirations". It just works better for me. In the last day or two, I've realized that I have *achieved* my life long aspiration of being physically normal. It was the one goal that had eluded me my entire life. Now, at 51, I have to discover my new focus. The normal stuff is still there, grow a healthy relationship with my husband, try to teach by example to my daughters on how to live a happy, fulfilling life, maintain the weight loss and continue the healthy exercise and eating regime. I think it's going to take some deep soul searching to chart the next step of my life. Debra M.

Topic: RE: Good news...bad news...
Hey Heather, This is some good news. At least you know now where to start. Another protein suggestion is perhaps the Nectar brand of protein powders. I think they are BSA proteins, which is bovine serum albumin. This is a protein derived from cow's blood. I know it sounds gross, but it is no different than eating a steak. Many people really like the different Nectar flavors, especially added to juice or Crystal Light. As Kathy suggested, what about other types of nuts. I rely on almonds as a daily mid-day snack. Perhaps a nutrition consult might be in order. My husband has terrible allergies, mainly to environmental allergens, and he often gets horrible sinus infections as a result. I hope these allergy results will be the tool you need to have a much, much healthier year 2007!!!! Merry Christmas to you and your family. Debra M.
