Way too log

Thu, 24 Mar 2011 17:16:00 -0700

I know it has been way too long since I've been on here... Has it really been almost four years since surgery?!? So much has happened. I have to admit that things have been great. My weight is usually the last thing I think about everyday instead of the first ...

To be help accountable

Mon, 08 Sep 2008 22:43:00 -0700

I need to record these thoughts somewhere where I can be held accountable. It's hard to admit but the last three months are so have been INCREDIBLY hard on me. I've had to deal with an insane amount of life changes and stress: from my husband deciding to leave the ...

Hello all. This post in not in regards to weight loss surgery but seeking out advice and reassurance about a move. My family (myself, my husband and my 2 1/2 year old son) are moving to Bloomington, Indiana in February 2009.

Dropped off the face of the earth?

Wed, 30 Jul 2008 20:32:00 -0700

So believe it or not I did not drop off the face of the earth as so many have wondered. I've been incredibly bus... the last four months especially...which explains my absence at my GBS support group meetings, too. However! I have vowed and reserved the evening of Aug. 14th ...

Update...on life

Sat, 26 Jan 2008 12:10:00 -0800

An Update

Mon, 12 Nov 2007 08:08:00 -0800

So here's an update on how I'm doing: I'm down to 253 lbs., which puts my BMI at 46.2, which means I'm now in the extremely obese section instead of the super obese section. YEAH!!!

I can't believe on Monday it will be 2 weeks since surgery. That seems impossible, but everyday I look down at my belly (still patched with steri-strip bandages), I am reminded that this is not a dream! Not too many struggles...nothing out of the ordinary. I have been beyond the blenderized ...

5 Days Out

Fri, 19 Oct 2007 09:57:00 -0700

This is for those of you who are pre-op and want a REALISTIC picture of where you MAY be a few days after surgery: I can honestly say that I went from LOVING AND DREAMING AND FANTASIZING ABOUT FOOD to dreading when my mom says, "How much protein have you had to day". Drinking ...

I'm feeling.... Feeling cleansed (inside) Not so tired Not exactly relaxed NOT NERVOUS Comforted in knowing my mom, husband and son will be with me Blessed for having so many things Thankful that I have left the 280's and 270's behind Anxious to sit on the losers' bench Glad that ...
