A Close Call, and A Sweet NSV - I got up this morning, and found myself not at ALL hungry.  Instead of ignoring my full-feeling belly and grabbing at least a Greek yogurt to kick-start my metabolism, I instead fo...

Climbing Back on The Exercise Bandwagon, and Some - I decided this week was the week to begin working on my exercise routine again.  So, I dusted off my Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds one mile video, and my two pound weights, a...

First Post-Op Visit - I had my two week post-op visit with Dr. Brams today.  He said that everything seemed to be going well... my stitches are healing fine, and I've dropped 17 pounds since my surgery ...

A Plateau... Already? Seriously?? - I keep getting on the scale every morning, hoping for even the slightest nudge downward, and for the past four days, I've seen the EXACT same number... 251.6.  I'm still following ...

A New Year.... A New Chance - The year 2010 was  strange, challenging, and intense in some respects, and incredibly wonderful in others. I'm happy to put it behind me, and see what 2011 will bring. I'm look...

Ahhhhh, coffee! - Today is the first day of week 2 post-op, and although I'm still on soft foods (and miss chewing on something... ANYTHING), I'm delighted that I can now have skim milk added to the...

Keep on truckin' - Today's goal was to clean my house.  I'd let it slip since coming  home from surgery, mostly because I just couldn't maneuver my way around enough to be able to scrub, sweep, dust,...

Restless - I woke up feeling a bit restless and house-happy this morning.  I'm hoping that's a good sign!  I also weighed in again this morning, and was happy to see that the scale keeps movi...

Had the morning owies - After another not so great night's sleep, I got out of bed early to move and stretch a bit, and start my morning "meal" of liquids in various forms.  By about 11:00 a.m., I realize...

A birthday, and a long walk - Today is my oldest girlie's 12th birthday, and she's bummed that I can't have any of her birthday cake later on tonight.  I know I'm not... it's a strange thing to say, but I'm not...

A door closed, but a window opened - Hiya, everyone! I had my surgery on December 23rd, as planned, and so far, so good.  I got wheeled into the OR right before 9:45 a.m., and the last thing I remember about being ...

Tomorrow's the big day! - In almost twelve hours from now, I'll be on my way to a brand new me!  My procedure is scheduled for 9:45 a.m. (with a check-in time of 8:10).  I'm sad that my girls will be a litt...

Countdown to the new me! - I'm only five days away from my lap band surgery, and I'm both thrilled and terrified at the same time.  I've been on the protein supplements for over a week now (doctor's orders),...
