Default Merry Merry Happy Happy!



Hope you're all having a great time! I'm here in Winchester, VA, with the gathering of the clan at my sister's house. But, I'm in a hotel - it's the only time i get away from the Alzheimer's mom, expcet when i go on business trips. everyone's doing well - thank goodness!

we have way too much food, but thank goodness most of it's healthy. i'll be making my grandmother's artichokes later [and artichokes ARE NOT for those of you who've had surgery recently - it's WAY too fibrous!]

An amazing young woman works in this hotel - she had bypass surgery 3 years ago and has lots 350 pounds! she started off at 550, and has done wonderfully - although she has some vitamin deficiencies. most important, she's thrilled with her second chance, and so are her children.

it's a gift. and so are you ALL. thank you for being here - may 2008 be good to all of us!

Thanks Jiffy! The same to you and your family. How in the heck did you find out the woman had WLS?!? Do you just have the sixth sense about such things? LOL!

LOL!!!!! Nan, when i first saw her, i had the impression that she'd lost A LOT of weight. lots of sagging skin, combined with a beautiful face, clear skin, and sharp collar bones.

but, as it happened, since i stay at this place every year at christmas, i baked brownies for the folks who had to work the holiday. and i told her that they were really good - and then she said the magic words - 'i had weight loss surgery and i am now very very careful about eating things with sugar'

and off we went!!!!!

A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Jiffy. I lurked for a long time here and have followed your wonderful progress over the years. Plus I love your realistic and wise take on the process of creating a new life style and embracing the possibilities. Best wishes.
