Just a few words. Processed/Refined carbs. Unprocessed/Unrefined
carbs. Moderation. One of the things that worked for me was NO
Processed/Refined carbs and MODERATION of natural Unprocessed/Unrefined
carbs. Just something to think about.

Hi Friends:
First off…..I AM NOT flaming nor cross talking and my intent is
definitely NOT inflammatory. Just the same, after reading about veggies being
carbs (some, like spuds, corn, peas I totally understand) I find myself
straddling a fence between chuckling and guilty self recrimination over having
diced up
some onion and green pepper with the turkey sausage that I had for dinner
last night. The other day at an OA support group I listened to a few rotund
fellow food addicts talk about binging on broccoli. I found myself wondering
just
how many of us plateaued because we had one too many carrots or overdid the
cauliflower!! For the past week I have done an about turn in my eating and
have (or at least I thought) removed major carbohydrates and definitely sugars

Well, here I am at the magic 6 months postop mark! (RNY 12/6/2002). I went in
at 429 lbs. and am now below 322 lbs. It feels good to wear clothing I
couldn’t fit in before and to wear shorts that used to fit like *underwear* on
myself! I’ve been through a lot though, and have not gotten back my strength,
which I lost due to malnutrition diagnosed at about 10 weeks out. I broke a
leg from extreme weakness and am still housebound (my condo is on the second
story of a non-elevator bldg.), but I am getting stronger through home
physical therapy through the local VNA. I had a horrible wound complication
from my surgery (severe wound abscess) that resulted in a very long healing
process. The wound remained open until about a month ago. It is now a long,
feather-shaped scar from my waist to just under my breasts and I use Vit. E
oil on it. There are no stitch marks since the stitches externally had to be
removed to treat the wound, which, btw, stretched 9-1/2″ long, 5-1/2″ wide and
was so deep you could put a fist into it (which RNs and my wound care doc did
on a regular basis). Reiki and protein intake helped a LOT.

Doesn’t PROPEL have SUGAR in it ??? That could be what’s making you “dump”.

Hi All, I am looking for another OSSG group for people that are 6 months out and
further. Any suggestions as to which group?
thanks,

I am in Fort Lauderdale and am in the process of getting a consult
with Dr. Paul Wizman.
Has anyone out there used him for their Lap-RNY?
Please, any information you have would be great. I have checked the
different associations and such, but wonder what everyone else has
heard and/or experienced.
Thanks.
You can email me privately as well.

Well group, I’m STILL waiting for approval from UHC. My policy is
thru my husbands employer. The surgery IS a covered benefit. Back in
April of this year all my info was sent in. It took almost a month
for UHC to tell me that they could not approve the surgery without the
surgeons notes. So I hurried to get an appt. with my surgeon.
Everything, including his notes, were re-submitted. That was June 2.
As of this morning when I called, it is still in review. REVIEW???
STILL??? This is so nerve wreaking! I actually had a rep. ask me,
yesterday, if I already called that morning. It seems they DO keep a
record of the times you call. I have encountered very nice reps, but
soon are so cold and not helpful. They are just in a hurry to get to
the next call. I do have the extention number for one really nice and
very helpful rep named Jerri. So at times I just call her. My health
is getting worse by the day. I not only have high bp, but I’m a
diabetic and am suffering from Neuropathy in my feet. My blood sugar

lost 200 pounds in about a year.Never was diabetic.Does this mean
kidneys are not working?Sharon in MI
