A Long Overdue Update: Life After Gastric Bypass

Wow – has it really been nearly 10 months since my last update?  Guess so.  Sorry about that folks.  Been crazy around here.

In March 2012, my husband was diagnosed with stage 3 malignant melanoma.  He underwent 3 surgeries and is now undergoing a year of treatment.

In May 2012, we decided to downsize and move.  My hubby could no longer maintain the 3 acres we had, and I couldn’t keep up with cleaning the 4,000 sq foot house!  So we put the house on the market and in August we moved into a brand new 4 bedroom duplex.  Brand new – as in, newly built, no one has ever lived in it before new. :)  It’s only 1,600 sq ft, with a garage and basement storage area.  It’s on two levels and perfect for us and the 3 kiddos still at home.

Paul Deen Diabetes Uproar

Recently, Paula Deen (the famous southern cook) announced she has Type 2 diabetes.  What apparently irked many was she discovered this 3 years ago, and waited to make a general announcement until such time as she had secured a deal with a diabetes treatment company.

Gastric Bypass Complications

no-party

July 27, 2011 will mark my 7 year RNY gastric bypass post-op anniversary. I will not be celebrating. Like most, I sailed through the actual surgical procedure without complications. I had no major issues or problems.  I ignored my surgeon’s supplemental advice of 2 Flintstones chewables and Carnation Instant Breakfast as his recommended ‘supplemental’ advice; [...]
