Post Bariatric Life 2008-09-04 17:20:34 I was asked to write down what I do so my friends who are getting the surgery or have just had it can follow my path to big time weight loss. It is kind of difficult for me to explain my patterns because I really hate cooking and preparing a lot of food. ( I'd rather be blogging LOL) Here is my dilemma: I can't eat very much food at one time. So I really don't want to spend a long time makin

Loss Journey
I have a hard time reading those long drawn out sad tales of obese people that finally have lost weight. It's not that I don't find great joy in their success stories, it just takes me back to a very depressing time that I'd rather not remember. I try not to linger in the past. I wish them all a glorious future! That being said, here i Read more:Weight Loss
It Finally Happened 2008-08-31 14:46:17 I had the "dumping" thing at WORK! OMG I was so scared! I became dizzy, sweaty and afraid I would faint dead out at my desk. My friend "Tiara Syndrome" was very concerned! He said I was
hypoglycemic! And actually the symptoms are very similar. See the definition below:What is Dumping Syndrome? Also called "rapid gastric emptying", dumping syndrome occurs when the lower section of the small Read more:Finally
Eating Out with Robin!!! 2008-08-31 14:41:54 Went out yesterday for dinner with Rockin Robin
! We went to a nice place nearby. I grow anxious in restaurants now as the staff think I hate their food! Is it necessary for me to explain WLS to every wait person I encounter? I don't want to be rude. I notice they get antsy because I am not eating their food either fast enough or in enough quantity. It seems to upset them alot! &nb

I have to tell you, that I dreaded getting any new pictures taken. I put it off since January. But... since I launched that awful before pic on the blog, I had to go get something better to compare it to. To my complete amazement these shots turned out so much better than I expected. I asked my kid, "Is that really what I look like?"

VISTA 2008-08-16 08:12:58 Well I have VISTA. I LOVE IT! I know all the techs I work with hate it. But then I am a big Mac fan too. It really looks like Mac now. (They always rip off Steve Jobs) I use both so I tend to use the right side of my desktop for utilities. Vista looks like a combination of both and I think it is more user friendly for the newbies. I think it looks nicer than XP but a long stretch. The Start menu i

Dear Oprah and Dr Phil 2008-09-21 09:35:16 Dear Ms Macky readers! I found this letter on the web today and I applaud Glenn Goldberg for saying what I have been wanting to say for a longtime! Oprah
and Dr. Phil slam weight loss surgery every chance they get and that's is PLENTY. Oprah is obviously a candidate. Poor thing, she has struggled for how long to keep the weight off and now it's back again. Dr. Phil in my opinion created a diet pla
Ms Macky’s Successful New Eating Habits 2008-09-21 09:34:48 Everyday I try to eat
three to four small meals and two snacks throughout the day. My servings
contain 3-4 proteins, 2 fruits, 2-3 vegetables, 2 carbs like bread, pretzels,
pasta and bagels. For snacks I usually go for yogurt with cereal or sugar free popsicles
or puddings. Truthfully I don’t crave junk like I used to. Oh and I do eat
chocolate protein bars too when I have them.
