Hi-it's me MJ! Yesterday was AMAZING. I was so fortunate to reach out to my Cirlce and a few FB groups to let everyone know how badly my day went on Friday. Everyone was so re-assuring. I had n...

HI Bari-friends - I needs some advise. I don't think I am doing the protein shake thing right. I have a plain whey Isolated "tub" from GNC and I bought the chocolate and vanilla whey isolate from bulk barn. I think that bulk barn is the least expensi

HI it's me MJ! I'm back from my surgery. I came home the day after. I was pretty out of it yesterday but my family made sure that I walked every hour. Typically they don't let you out unless you pass gas - down there but I was burping a lot, my blo

Hey There MJ! :) I was reading your post from this morning, and thinking about your upcoming surgery tomorrow... In case no ones told you today: you bring so much hard earned wisdom with you to OH.com, MJ, and I find in your writings truth, honesty...and, a real power of example. Although you struggle, and sometimes doubt yourself, in your writing, you never seem to shy away from putting yourself out there...(uhm...out here. :) You just keep punching. (And sometimes I really need to see you doing that.) You inspire me some days, MJ - truly. Because...some days I am not always grateful to be here -> just another MO woman trying to recover from years of food addiction...Lol...But, you know what, MJ? I'm ALWAYS glad you're here! :) And so. May you have the world's most uneventful surgery tomorrow, and the speediest healing on record, m'dear! And when you come home, I hope you'll come here and continue to "keep it by giving it away". Blessings & Big Hugs! :) ~ Catherine

How are you doing? The needle finally moved on the scale for me today. I have a lot of energy. Yesterday was my last last day of work. It's getting real now. What time are you going to be at the hospital? We are planning on being there at 6:30 to get a good parking spot but I am not due there until 8 am.

Hi, it's me MJ! I am looking into medical-id bracelets - did you buy one? If so, where did you get it and what does it say on it? I am getting my RNY on 8/1.
