Well, another year is about to pass. I'd like to say it was a good one, considering I was gifted with the opportunity to have weightloss surgery in July. Things were going well, I was losing a couple of pounds a week and a large amount of inches off of ...

Lots of changes, one thing I have had to learn in a hurry is patience. Its not something i'm good at. But i'm adapting. I've learned the feeling of 'fullness' and have learned to STOP eating when I feel that pressure. It wasn't something that was easy. My head wanted ...

Everything went very well in Utica during my stay for Surgery. Some Canadian nurses really should take notes from the American ones I had the pleasure of getting to know for 3 days. Even though I wouldn't relive the first 2 days if someone paid me. All in all it ...

Yesterday I had my appointment with my gp with Dr.Ashe. It wasn't exactly what I had hoped it would be really. I have never been diagnosed with High Blood Pressure, nor have I ever weighed this amount before. So I guess I was in shock. My blood pressure was 150 ...
