One year - Well, yesterday was the one year start date of my pre-surgery diet. So, that's a year to me. I'm down 103.  I have 2 to go.  TWO.  Wow. I'd absolutely do this again. I'm from a s...

I'm going ZIPLINING!!! - Not because I want to...because I'm terrified of heights, but because I CAN! lol I can do SO many things that a year ago, I would have never even considered.  Including... tomorro...

I have got to get out of my head. - I passed 50 pounds today.  I'm 11 weeks out (why does it seem like a lot longer? :-) ) Yesterday, my 7 year old niece came over.  I have not seen her since before surgery.  She sa...

Checking in, it's been awhile - I'm doing well.  9 weeks out, down 47 pounds.  Working on getting all of that protein in.  Definitely need to get more activity in.  My job and kids are not helping that. I need a ...

Sick - Monday, I went to the gym and walked for 15 minutes. I felt like I was going to die. I figured, it's because I eat so few calories. (avg. 300 at 5 weeks out) I have an appt. with N...

It makes no sense to me. - How you can lose pounds, but not inches. Or even more... inches, but not pounds.  It's illogical. ;-) However, I do find it's good motivation. If the scale hasn't moved much for a...

My first weekend trip since surgery! - My girls are in competitive dance (No, we are not like that t.v. show ;-) ) and their first competition is this weekend.  I live in the sticks, so all venues are 2.5 hours away gen...

18 days out and just SO TIRED - I'm taking all of my vitamins. I'm eating high protein - on pureed now. I don't get "enough" protein,  but I eat 3 meals and usually 2 snacks - but now that I"m on pureed, I can't ...

Pureed Trial and Error - I started pureed yesterday. I felt like carp last night.  This morning, I had another scrambled egg. That felt ok.  My lunch selection (mushed up scallops) wasn't working for me. ...

12 days out and already feel great! Best thing I c - I'm down 26 pounds from the day I started pre-op diet.  I have two more days of liquids, start purees on Thursday. Really looking forward to some tuna salad in a blender lol But a...

Nope, Pre-op Diet is not the worst. Post Op Liquid - One more week. lol I mean, I'm not hungry. I have to make myself eat so that I get some protein and fluids. And it's all in my head, but it's definitely not very excitng ;)well......

Horrid Rash/Burn - Surgery 1/30 I had the same thing with my hysterectomy, which is when they put in my records "allergic to betadyne and plastic tape"  Well, as with the hyster... about 3 days late...

I did it! Sleeved 1/30 - It really wasn't bad, pain wise. The gas in my shoulders was the worst. & I am a huge wimp, so that's saying something.    I came home yesterday around noon. My only concern is d...

Panic Attack -Surgery on Thursday - I suck at my job today because  I can't  focus and then about an hour ago, I just started bawling and shaking.  I'm starting to freak out about this. What if it doesn't work...

Pre-op appointment today -all clear! - Next Thursday will be here before I know it!     My internist did my pre-op physical and he was almost giddy. I've never seen so much emotion from him. lol

Day 4 Pre-op Diet - not even hungry. Weird. - However, that lasagna my daughter is cooking may make me cry ;-)   I have 268 calories left AFTER dinner. I'm not sure how that happened.   My doc says 800 calor...
