What's on your Thursday Menu?

Morning all. Well, a day on the couch was just what the doctor ordered. I got the maximum amount of rest that a person can get. I feel much better and maybe I look a little less raccoonish? I got less than zero steps and rotted my brain with true…

My lap band was shocking me. It was the worse  feeling. I woke up many things during the night feeling like I was shocking to death. Also, the port in my stomach would flip when I bend down sometime with alot of pain. Thank God it's out.
