Wow it has been  13  and  a  half months since my surgery.

I am doing  great.  Still losing  weight but it has slowed way down.   I am lucky if I lose a half a pound a week.
some weeks I lose nothing.  But I did not gain  over  the holiday so that is a  good  thing.

I  need to bump up the exercise  a little as  it is winter and cold out and i  dont get out.  I do carry wood  now and shovel  so that counts for something.    i  will do my wii  in a bit for at least  another  30 minutes

I find that  now i am thru the honeymoon period that  i can eat mostly  everything  but  i eat now in moderation  as  my stomach does not accomedate large amounts of food.  I  can go out to eat and order things that either i can bring home  or  can eat more of like salads and shrimp.  good standbys.  Trying to be compliant   it is not hard  but got to learn to sit and eat and not graze.   Being alone  during the day  makes it easy to graze.  

Most people think  that  after rny you  cant eat anymore or socialize or  have fun.   but  some of that is just at the beginning when we are learning   all the good habits that we have forgotten  along the way  thru our life.  

My gram always said to slow down  and chew.   No drinking with meal.   Eat the  meat  first.   and  lay off breads.  Dessert  was an occasional thing and never rewarded supper with dessert.


Wow  how right she was.  I  do  not crave  carbs like i use to.  I was such a  bread person.  Maybe not eating them  has made me  not want them.   A  loaf of bread goes bad in our house now  but  now we  drink  two gallons of milk a week instead of one.  

Staying  compliant is  one thing  that i want  to  do  for  2009!!!!

I have met some  wonderful people here  and  hope and continue to meet more.

Thanks all for   listening to me when i need help  and i hope i can help  someone too.
