I've been thinking about where I am in my weight loss. I am 9 weeks out and haven't lost in a little over two weeks. I couldn't help but stop and think that if I were doing this without the surgery I would have given up a long time ago. ...

I've got the blues pretty bad. Every thing seems to have stalled out. I've done alot of research on Hibernation Syndome. I honestly feel this is where mose diets fail...you get to this part and give up. Well I don't have that choice anymore. So I'm just hanging in there. ...

Monday I'll be three weeks out. I feel
like I'm doing pretty good. I'm eating ok, moving slowly from smushy

Home from the Hospital

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:59:00 -0700

Ok...feeling less shaky. So I was in the hospital for 4 days. It didn't go as smooth as silk but all in all it went ok. They almost put me in the ICU because my oxygen level was low, but in the end stuck me in a regular room next to the nurses ...
