Being given a choice to exercise or Not! The choice is yours. The vast majority of the findings associated with being healthy or living a healthier life style includes some form of exercise.
Whether it being walking, cardio, spinning, or kick boxing. Do you join a gym or not? The choice is yours. Free is always good. So I vote to walk. This is my choice. Our beautiful city has built a green way http://www.cbcgreenway.com/about2.html in which any one can walk. Its a beautiful scenery along the mouse creek. http://www.cbcgreenway.com/photos.html You get to see lots of wildlife. Brings you to enjoy your walk and it does even make it go by faster. If you are antsy about getting the chore completed.
Take a deep breath enjoy this crisp fall air. Its so hard to begin walking if you haven't been faithful in doing so, or even any exercise. Take it in moderation as you do food. Do a little each day to begin with. Work your way up.
Food: Your choice, do you cook it or have someone else prepare. I choose to prepare myself. Even though it is so much quicker, and a lot of times cheaper to just pick it up or go eat in. Step back into time a bit. Get back to the basics of cooking.
Go to the library, books are free to check out. Borrow a favorite cookbook from your friends, family. Take it home read it, plan you a menu and go to cooking. Or perhaps try a inherited recipe from generations before you. Its better than the processed foods that the restaurants are providing. Yes they cook them, but they also add lots of spices that add to the enhancement of the good food. This is where they get you, don't get me wrong I love eating out. It just doesn't love me anymore.
Begin to prepare your meals each day. Cook a little extra. Pack your lunches (brown bag it) coupons.com cook a little extra you can take it to work and enjoy an extra meal. Instead of going out spending $5.00-$10.00 a meal depending on which choice you made for lunch. Make it a family gathering, get the family involved. Have a son/daughter break out the bread, spread the condiments on it for you. Let them sprinkle the little spices in the meal your making. Get everyone involved. I like Jamie Oliver's approach to getting the schools back on track for the children eating healthier.
Being a Bariatric Post op. I have to watch what I eat at restaurants. Depending on my choice. Depends on how my body reacts to the break down process. Remember we need protein first...and foremost. No drinking 30 minutes before, during the meal or 30 minutes after. Yes sip if you get a little choked or the food is dry just to wash it down a bit. But remember if you drink during the meal the food will be flushed out of your pouch.
Therefore, you will have defeated the purpose of eating the protein first. Bariatric http://www.bariatriceating.com/ post ops need all the protein, for a number of reasons. It helps with the hair growth, bones, and overall health.
Search for coupons that will help you with saving on bread, sandwich meat, vegetables, etc. http://www.coupons.com/ They are available. There is currently a coupon for bread, sandwich meat and even frozen vegetables on there.
For Supper have a spaghetti night (Italian Night)
Spaghetti http://ronzoni.newworldpasta.com/pasta_coupon.cfm
Spaghetti http://www.dreamfieldsfoods.com/dreamfields-newsletter-signup.html
Turkey http://www.butterball.com/savings
Bread http://www.coles.com/promotions/coupons/
Salad http://www.freshexpressartisans.com/
Salad dressing http://www.wish-bone.com/Coupons.aspx
Now remember print your coupons and hold them until you see a good sale on these items. Coupons up to .60 will double at Bi-lo and a few more stores depending on your area, this would make it $1.20 off .
When signing up to print off your coupons, sign up using another email just for these type offers that way your normal email won't get flooded with offers. This is what I do. Periodically I check the other email for offers from the companies that I have requested coupons from, they love us and continue to send good coupons through email and snail mail. If you ever have any questions on couponing for deals let me know, I'll be glad to help in any way possible. I'll begin posting recipes next week. I'm compiling them now.
Let me know if you get back to cooking I will come over and be your guest.
Have fun with it and enjoy your valuable time with family, and friends.
Think of the holidays ahead of us. Cook and share with someone that doesn't have any family, invite them over or take them a meal. Or perhaps pick up an extra jar/package with your savings from your coupons to share with the local food banks.
They will be grateful.
Tah Tah for now.

Electing to Vote!
Good morning All,
Can you believe it? Its November already. That means another month and we'll be celebrating Christmas. I'm not ready for all of the holidays yet. I'm trying to catch up with myself. (hehe)
Hope everyone is enjoying the crisp cool mornings and the beautiful warm afternoons.
I've started writing in my journal again so that I can start putting my book pages together. I'm not sure that is where I need to begin, but that's where I've started. I often asked my friend, how do you know what to write, how do you put words to paper etc. I didn't score well in English lit. I guess you can tell. However, I try and guess that's the most important thing. Never give up on your dreams. I haven't yet.
I made it through the Halloween Holiday, and hope everyone else did without the added weight. I managed not to touch the candy (sigh) Oh but wait, I have a mission and I'm still doing quite well I may add. I hope everyone got out and voted yesterday and every one's Vote brought who they wanted. I know mine did. The reason I titled my blog entry today is to see if anyone wanted to vote on me?
Why do I ask this? Well, seems I have ran across a dilemma and don't know quite how to handle it. So I thought I would put it through a vote. For years due to my weight problems, I refused to have any pictures taken. Now I wished I had at least taken 1 full shot of before. There is no full shot except the one at my Dr's office and they are trying to retrieve it from the disk. But I did find a before head shot.
Do I post a before/After picture on here? Or do you think it would scare off my friends? Guess I should have asked this before Halloween, I could have used this for the goblins.
Please let me know your vote of yes or no by commenting. And I'll decide in a couple of weeks if I am brave enough to reveal the before of me. (147) pounds heavier.

Twas the night before Halloween!!
The night before Halloween and the trick and treaters have a choice to go trick or treating tonight, tomorrow or both nights. Seems there is a delima between the two. Now that my boys are older Halloween just isn't the same. And I'm okay with that, I get to enjoy the excitement of other little boys and girls getting the thrill of what kind of candy they received. After the event is over they will go home pour out their bags of candy and I hope that ALL parents will inspect it first. Then let the children pick out a little bit to eat now and later.
Just remember also, if you don't want your children to have all of that candy to check and see if any of the local dentists are participating in the candy buy back.
Yesterday at work we had a Halloween contest, I dressed as "Julia Childs" She is one of my favorite cooks. I used to love to bake, I just don't bake as much as I used to, No one seems to enjoy it as much anymore. So there are lots of times that I will bake and treat my co-workers. Even though I can't eat the goodies that I fix. Due to the sugar content. It gives me a good feeling to let someone else enjoy. So yesterday I did bake some cupcakes because I needed them as a prop for my costume. Then I had the bowl that I left some of the cake mix in with the wooden spoon and spatula. I had fun with it.
Halloween is a day of getting out with the family and enjoying yourselves. We have a street here in town that is blocked off and all of the residents decorate and about everyone in town visits. It has a strong legend behind it. If you aren't familiar with "Tall Betsy" http://www.tallbetsy.com/ find out about the legend.

The Legend of Tall Betsy
She comes out only on Halloween
On Centenary Avenue she can be seen,
Tall Betsy is the Lady in Black,
For scaring "night-owls" she has a knack.
Now if you're good and go home early,
You won't get 'et by this gruesome girlie.
But if you linger 'til after ten,
We want you to know you are a "has been".
Cause Betsy will tuck you under her arm,
and you can bet, that is cause for alarm.
To Fort Hill Cemetery she will go,
To her mausoleum, with YOU in tow!
IF you don't escape before sunrise,
I warn you now you will be her prize.
She will have you for breakfast, I do not jest,
You'll be on the menu but not as her guest.
Your bones, she'll dump in that ole well,
At Arnold School and no one will tell.
Your parents, they'll worry and fret,
They'll search all over for you, I'll bet.
So, Go home early on Halloween night
and November 1st You'll be all right.
Trick or treating is so much fun
But if you see Tall Betsy RUN!

Spooks are a Coming!!!!
Well its just 4 more days before the spooks and goblins come out. And all that comes with this little holiday. Yes this holiday is a beginning of a lot of weight gains. I know this because I lived through them. Candy is my downfall, I love hard candy, a piece of chocolate occasionally is okay, but give me cinnamon or lemon drops and I'm good to go. But WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!. Not any more.
So today I would like to touch base on the Effects that Sugar has on Bariatric patients. Since having my surgery 4 1/2 yrs ago. I have a very low tolerance of sugar. It gives me the dumping syndrome.
What is Dumping Syndrome?
Dumping Syndrome is a problem that occurs in some patients after having gastric bypass surgery. It is the result of food passing too quickly into the small intestine. It is typically induced when the patient eats certain foods, such as sweets or certain carbohydrate sources (such as simple carbohydrates like sugar and some starches). It can also occur as a result of eating too much at one time.
Some symptoms of dumping syndrome include:
When do Symptoms Subside?
Once I have eaten some foods that give me some of the symptoms above It usually takes me a good 30 minutes for it to pass through others up to an hour. I get extremely lathargic. I compare it to what a diabetic experiences when their sugar drops. I have found that lying down will allow these symptoms to pass quicker.
So with the thrills and chills coming into the air. I say eat your candy in moderation. Or perhaps bypass it all together. It will save you the after effects as well as a few pounds. Some of the local dentists have came up with a great idea. They are buying back candy..... The candy that is purchased is screened throughly and then mailed to our troops for treats. I love this idea. I'm all about supporting our troops.
God Bless our troops. May they come home soon, safely.
Happy Early Halloween=Tah Tah for Now, Spooks........Goblins......

Feeling Extremely Grateful
Sitting here reminishing on the great things that I should be greatful for. Everyday we should just stop for a fresh of renewed air. Take a breath, I mean a really deep breath. Now close your eyes and start at the top of your head. BREATH. In your mind move down your entire body taking more deep breaths as you go, until you reach you feet. Then open your eyes and think about how do you feel? Do you feel a little refreshed? Sometimes I do this just to get myself off of thoughts that are negative.
Why do I start with this subject, A co-worker of mine was just approved for the gastric bypass and she is so excited. And I'm excited for her. Sometimes you forget where you started from. And she just set me back to remind myself of this. I remember the day that I was approved, I wanted to just shout out to the world. I"VE BEEN APPROVED.........YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its such a great feeling and know that perhaps by me having this surgery it gave her inspiration as well as others. I told her that we could support each other and that there are lots of support on the Bariatric weight losses. I provided her some websites that I visit so she can start preparing herself for her new journey. Good luck to my co-worker as well as anyone else that is taking the steps to begin this new journey.
Tah Tah for now
Have a great Saturday, and remember to take in the beautiful day we are having look at the leaves, listen to the sounds outside, enjoy them. Remember there are those that are having a tougher day than we are.
:)
would you like to listen to some new local music try out the new group that is local in my hometown

Day 5 of the 5daypouchtest !!!!!
WoW!!! what a good feeling it is to number 1, having arrived at day #5, feeling pride and accomplishment, and already feeling the tightness of my pouch. I have eaten protein for most of the day. Drinking my water and maintaining what I have needed to for the testing period. Still haven't had any craving for carbs, sugar. So now I know that my pouch is still a working tool in progress.
With Kay Bailey's "You Can do This! slogan, I believe and I prevailed to get back on track. I'm looking forward to day 6 and beyond. This day forward it is up to myself and the tool that is still working to continue to make progress. Anyone that has had the bariatric procedures, I would highly recommend visiting Kay's website http://www.livingafterwls.com read what everyone is so excited about including myself. The http://www.5daypouchtest.com/ is a very valuable tool, that she has created to help everyone.
I'm not getting anything to endorse her website or list it on here, I'm just passing along the website information that I researched and gained valuable strength, motivation, and inspiration from to help me to get back on track. I had lost focus, now that I have had a week to get back in focus I can revamp and continue. The kit that I had ordered from her website contained the soups and a 5daypouchtest owners manual full of information, including recipes, and quotes from other participants that took the test.
Some of the things that I have been able to get back to and had forgotten are what we patients need to do to maintain our successful weight loss.
Eat lots of lean protein, avoid or limit our fats, sugars and alcohol. Drink our water and take our necessary vitamins. Avoid snacking, if you feel the need to snack, eat protein. Or ask your self, am I really hungry? or is it Head Hunger? Sip you some water first and see if the urge goes away. If it does then you know that it is Head Hunger, or even when you find yourself thinking about eating, get up go for a walk. A little quote from my mother that she used to tell my niece/nephew when they were younger when they would get on a subject they couldn't shut up about. "wash your brain" I think of this sometimes.
I weighed in this morning to the tune of 1 1/2 lbs lighter than when I weighed a couple of days ago when I replaced my battery in my scales. I'll take the weight loss, this gives me incentive to continue as well. One of my worst carbs that I had discovered recently was "kettle chips" the crunch is what I really liked other than the flavor. I passed by them in the store last night and thought to myself, I'm so glad I won't be needing them any more let alone it saving me $3.00 bucks. I wasn't interested any longer. I've moved back on track to continue with my journey. Land of the no bad carbs/sugars.
I look forward to continuing this day forward, Thank you so much for being a part of my 5daypouchtest.
Allowing me to blog about my experience, has helped me tremendously. May it help someone else.
Have a great evening, and I will post again soon.
Tah Tah for now, lighter than yesterday

Day 4 of the 5daypouch test !!!!
Day 4!
More progress has been made, I'm beginning to really tell the difference, I started the day off with my soft food, 4 egg whites and 1/2 cup of oatmeal, I didn't eat it all at once. Today was a day of unlimited foods. I had my usual smoothie this morning with my protein powder as well, and a couple more egg whites before lunch.
For lunch my co-worker and I ventured out to a couple of yardsales and stopped by for something to eat. Since I have had this surgery, if I stopped by a fast food restaurant, I would order a plain grilled chicken sandwich and ask them to just put the chicken patty in a container. They look at you like a deer in headlights. So I have just been selective when eating at fast food joints. Well today when I ordered, the lady that took my order said "oh yeah" we can do that. I was shocked, so I ordered a chicken patty and went back and ordered me a tea to drink for the afternoon. For supper this evening I had rotiserre chicken.
What I have noticed since starting this 5daypouchtest, I'm feeling like I did when I first had my surgery tool put into place. Feels good. I'm feeling it in my clothing already. I'll weigh in tomorrow I weighed in after I replaced my battery on my scales and I'm anxious to see if there is a difference, I'll post.
Since I have started this blog, I haven't said how much I had actually lost and several people have enquired. Here it is drum roll........ My weight loss since my surgery was a 147 lbs. Thats a whole person. Still til this day, when looking in the mirror, I still see the before now, me... Its very hard to believe so much of myself has changed. Disappearred, left the building, etc. Its a really good feeling of empowerment.
Going into day 5 is going to be sweet.... Even though I'm not doing sweets, or carbs, I'm not missing them or craving them. Let me tell you a little secret I use when it does cross my mind. I cook sweets and take them to work. This morning I made cake pops and passed them along. Good feeling....
I'm getting back on track to where I was 4 years ago when I was trying so desperately to get this surgery performed so that I can be healthier and live longer. I'm so grateful for the tools that Kay Bailey has developed over at http://www.livingafterwls.com/ and http://www.5daypouchtest.com/ . Looking forward to staying on track.
Tah Tah for now.
