Morning all! Happy Fri-Yay! We're dealing with an "arctic front" today. Temps will be -8 where I live but there will be wind gusts at 50 mph, so wind chills are going to be much lower. Such a bummer that the cold is here today because, as many of you…

A lot of irons in the fire at work and personal, but am keeping on track with managing my eating. Weight loss has slowed a bit--as I expected it would, but I'm at a point where it doesn't mess with my head in the same way. I feel very fortunate…

I was obese my entire life- from early childhood. My identity was formed in that shadow. When I was in college, I got serious about wanting to do something about it. I wanted gastric bypass- I wanted something that would work. My parents were still paying for everything at that…

I had my pre-op appointment yesterday. I can tell this whole process is well thought out and they do a lot of smart things to minimize risk and ensure success. one thing I hate is that they only use Tylenol for pain. They do a block also, but Tylenol? I…
