Barbara
About Me:
I'm 54 years old. I just had a birthday and I woke up on my birthday still fat, seems like ever y year, I tell myself, I'll be thin for my next birthday. I'm seperated from my husband of 28 years, we have 2 grown children who are out of the house and making their own lives. I'm an artist, have been for over 40 years. it's a family tradition which was pass down to me. I love my work, but it hard to represent myself as an successful artist. I was surfing the net for bypass surgery when I came across the mini. I have a few friends who've had the bypass surgery, a few of them are successful and a few others didn't seem to work for them. I've been reading about the mini since I came across it and getting more and more interested. I just need to build up more courage and raise the funds, I know when I do all that, I'll be having it done.

thanks so much,
Bobbie aka Barbara

it's been a a wild ride thats for sure, I'm 9 weeks out of suregery and I'm 31 lbs down. I feel so great, tomorrow is my birthday and I wrote the above last year. what a year it's been. I'm so happy these days and I can't wait to see what the furture has in store for me. having the MGB is the best thing I've ever did for myself. I'm hoping if you are on the fence thinking of doing this, you'll never regret it. my clothes are fitting me so nicely and I'm back to my XL shirts and pants. it's been a least 10 years since I've worn them. nice to see my old clothes again. haha! my diabetes is almost under control. I'm down to 2 pills a day. so yeah. life is very good and I'm so happy!! I can't wait to see what my next birthday will be like and what I would look like, you know?

thanks

I woke up last year on my birthday the day after thanksgiving. eating so much the day before, I was so miserable. seems like every year I wake up on my birthday and think, damn, I'm still fat. every year like clockwork, I would say, next year, I'll lose so much and I'll feel good about myself. I was in such a mess I starting looking into weight loss surgeries after my birthday party!had too much cake, haha! . I got on the computer and type… Continue

I saw my Doctor today!

hey everyone and littermates!

I saw my doctor today, she took away 6 medications and left me with 2. she is keeping me on my Metforum for my diabetes. she said my A1C went from 8.2 to 7.2 in one month. all this without meds!!!! how cool is that? she wants me to take the Metform for 3 months. she wants my AlC to get below a 6 before she takes me off it. she's hoping it'll be within 3 months. my sugar level is running a little higher than normal. but not over 180, so that's good, it's not going l… Continue

I'm so happy for you and your weight loss. It seems I'm the slowest loser in history. Only 13 pounds since date of surgery. : (. Maybe, MAYBE it will start to gain momentum soon. I pray it does. Not too fast though. (I have to ve careful what I wish for, I may get it. ). But you're doing GREAT!!!

Today I learned how to roast vegetables (450 degree in oven with a sprinkle of olive oil and a pinch of salt) I used: eggplant, zucchini, butternut squash, little squashes, sweet potato, onions (they carmelized mmmmm) and put everything in a blender (except the crispy burnt parts that my mom ate) with chicken broth and wrrrrrrrrrrrrr for a few minutes, and voila - pureed veggies that taste amazing!!!!!!!! Mmmmmmmm. I made enough for 10 meals it seems. I also had a wonderful time eating watermelon. double MMMMMM.
I need a pill crusher because even the Flintstone vitamin made me gag (the B flavors). I am SOO SENSITIVE it's not fair!!!! But these vitamins I will be allowed to crush and put them in applesauce. No problem. Whew!

I have tried a few things in the last couple of days hamber, chicken and bread. Chicken and hambuger was a bad idea but the bread was ok. I am keeping it soft.

I understand that the vitamins are especially coated to protect the stomach. I HATE THE VITAMIN. I threw up three times already!!!! I ate scrambled eggs, applesauce mixed with cottage cheese, roasted peppers that are blended, yogurt shake with protein powder and half banana, sweet potato made wet with chicken broth. Someone told me they ate hashed browns with cheese and ketchup. I am afraid to try that. So, here we are. You, me and those crappy vitamins. Keep on touch, please.
