Not Feeling Content Today - Cravings! - I want a swig of Mountain Dew so badly. Or a bite of juicy apply pie just like my mommy makes. Or a chocolate malt. Or even a piece of toast. As I'm writing this, I'm pinching up l...

Awesome progress. Control over food is still control over food, so...

My Pouch, My Friend - The dinner of champions: spaghettios. Mr. Pouch likes it. So I eat a little. Not the greatest choice, but it's not a usual occurence. I ate too fast, so I'm sitting here all gurgly...

I'm glad your appointment went so well! That's quite a goal from...

Two Weeks Post-Op... How did I get so lucky? - I spend all seven months of my pre-op praying for the opportunity to have WLS. I was so envious of the post-ops at support group, like they had been given a prize that I was still ...

That's awesome! I've eaten some things that stick around for too...

There are so many people I haven't seen in years that I would love to...

No Longer Morbidly Obese! - 12 days post-op - I had my dietitian and PT appointments today. It was a little surreal to be there again as a post-op patient. When I went there as a pre-op patient, I had so much to prove. These l...

I think you're doing great! I'm freshly post-op, so walking for even...

Licked the salt off of a french fry today - 8 Days - I would never under and circumstances order french fries for myself right now, but I was doing a friend a favor and watching two of her kids (along with my two) at a McD's playland...

And now the downward spiral begins... :)

Well at least it's done. I'm so glad they figured out the medicare...

I read a book called "Life is hard, food is easy" to help me figure out...

Staring at my face in the mirror - 6 Days Post Op - I've never seen myself as a skinny adult before. I haven't been thin since before puberty, so the last pictures I have of a skinny Cheryl are kind of awkward with a nose too big fo...

I bet the purpose is to jumpstart your metabolism. I find that when I...

That must be so frustrating! We didn't call my insurance at all until...

I'm hoping they'll get out of their mac and cheese and chicken...
