I'm Back, Its been a while...

Thanks Annie, You're exactly right about not realizing how bad my health really was before WLS.  I knew but didn't really want to face it head on.   Marty

Marty - You are doing GREAT!  Trust me in that it keeps getting better all the time!

Thanks Rhonda!  I'm looking forward to the future, its not easy by any stretch but the rewards are tremendous!  Marty

Welcome back Marty and Congratulations!

It sounds like things are really working out well for you.  Are you on normal foods yet?  How's it all going?

Hey Deb, things are going pretty well... Yes I'm eating normal foods, have been since three weeks out.  Still trying different foods, some seem to agree ok, others make me nausious and sick feeling so I am having to push myself to get protein as needed. Last night dinner for example: 1 Beef Hot Dog Weiner (no bun), tbsp. of Chili, tbsp. of Slaw & 3 potato chips.  We had friends over and grilled Hamburgers & Hot Dogs on the grill with all the trimmings.  Roasted Corn on the cob, BBQ Beans & Chocolate Eclair for dessert.  I did all the grilling and when we sat down to eat I really didn't want anything... So overall things are going well just a lot different, but I can like it!  BTW Congratulations on your weight loss!  Also we are not far from Sanford, live in Pinehurst... I used to work at Sandhills RV in Sanford.  Marty

Wow, that's great!  I think it's good to eat a variety of foods as long as your pouch can handle it.  It is funny how your habits change though, isn't it?

I love the Pinehurst area...just beautiful.  We actually live off of 87 (quite a bit south of Sanford), but still have a Sanford address.  It's goofy.
