Everybody got really quiet there. You know, the point is not that

you have to be so perfect before Christmas, we just want to enjoy the

holidays with a clear conscience.

Personaly, Randy's post with all of his flaws, did me the most good.

I hope you guys aren't trying to be Pollyannas. Fess up!!! Help

us!!!!

Fessing UP.......I had TWO classes of Asti Spumonte.....and OLIVES! Also

a piece of pumpkin pie with cool whip. The pie was made with REAL sugar

(brown .... Not too much white....I like the flavor better that way). I

tried doing the splenda thing with the cranberries and threw then down

the garbage disposal because I absolutely HATED the taste. I should have

guessed that this would be the case.....as I have never LIKED the taste

of splenda. So, we didn't have cranberries, but I made nice giblet gravy

and smothered everything in the gravy. Oh yeah......the smached potatoes

had REAL butter and half and half in them. What can I say. Christmas

comes but once a year.

Another thing...first of all, I haven't found a single artificial anything I

like. I want my calories. In moderation. Sweet potatoes with brown sugar and

real butter (I only buy margarine for my hubby who hates REAL butter on his

rolls). Everything else is the real thing. Sugar, butter, etc.. I'm going to

repeat. ALL THINGS IN MODERATION, AND CHEW, CHEW, CHEW.

I guess I deserve some flaming. For dinner yesterday, I fixed a ham,

candied sweet potatoes, garlic mashed potatoes, fruit salad (with real

whipped cream), peas, and black forest brownies. I didn't scrimp on

ingredients. I ATE 4 bites of ham, 4 bites of sweet potatoes, 3 bites of

mashed potatoes, and about 5 bites of fruit salad. I was stuffed. My dogs

will get most of the left overs. Yes, I did count what I ate. If I am going

to get full on the little I eat, I'm not scrimping on the flavor of it. And,

believe it or not, that was all I ate all day. I didn't even taste while I

was cooking. The smells overwhelmed my stomach, and once again, I wasn't

very hungry when dinner was ready. Am I some kind of freak? I don't have

malabsorption; I don't load up on vitamins or protein drinks. And I do the

work of a 20 year old every single day. I eat what I want, in moderation,

and it seems that the things that are not good for me, I don't even want.

I'm satisfied with ONE Hershey's kiss, or 3 French fries.

Was the surgery I had or the behavior modification I went through so

different from all the RNY's, the distals and the proximals? After all, it

was the early 80's. It was not a simple " stomach stapling " , but none of my

intestinal tract was removed. And if it was successful (not just with me,

but with at least 2 other people I know, same procedure, same doctor), why

did they change it? My biggest problem? Gastric reflux, which rotted my

teeth, and I have dentures now, probably from eating too late at night. My

mother did not have the same problem. What am I missing here? Everything has

gone exactly as expected. And I feel like a freak because of my success. I'm

5'10, and 140-160 lbs for over 20 years. I just don't get it, and I'm not

sure I have a lot to contribute. I seem to be in a class all by myself.

Oh my, and what a FANTASTIC meal it was! I didn't have any gravy, but I

was all over the stuffing, chose only dark meat turkey, and thought

about finishing my daughter's slice of pumpkin pie in addition to my

own... saved me there, I think, because the plate had already

been cleared! LOL And I lost a pound over the last two days, go figure.

:-)

Debbie, I'll email you the photos I took today, if you want some recent

ones to post here.

, Glad you enjoyed the dinner. We just LOVE turkey.......and I am

working on turkey soup today or tomorrow. Yes, I would LOVE pictures.

And YES, I will post them for this list. I have added some pictures of

me.....Someone asked for us to post pictures so I did.

LOL about the Plastics....you just want to come play with the

dogs!!!!!!!! Which you can do any time you know.

Some one had posted about being a failure. One of the things I have

wanted to do for many years was to have a dog to show at dog shows. Walk

that ring with a beautiful example of the breed of my choice and know

that what I had on the end of the leash was not only beautiful, but

healthy and happy. Before my RNY...... There was NO

chance.....absolutely. This surgery for all it's WARTS and problems has

made it possible for me to worry about WHEN I will have time for Plastic

surgery....because of all the dog shows. I can CHASE after a 13 week old

puppy. (However it is easier if you just carry treats around in your

pockets...then they come to YOU!)Do I consider my self a success? Yes!!!

Emphatically!!! Success comes in all sizes and shapes.

(Vitalady) Curran complains all the time that I got HER legs!!! Just

because she is a little on the height deprived side.......does that make

her less of a success? No! Just because I am the more voluptuous version

of her does this make me less of a success? NO....(I am just taller.

). I guess one really needs to define what they consider success.

(Gee.....my anti-depressents must be working...that was a pretty

positive post! LOLOLOL)
