Saw my surgeon today - Well, at least my NEW surgeon. He doesn't think I have an ulcer, but he wants me to continue on my Nexium. He said if it's helping, might as well stick to it. He is worried abou...

You are doing a FANTASTIC job! I'm uber proud of you!!

Two pounds from 1st goal - I've got a mixture of emotions going. Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled beyond thrilled to be shrinking. I'm not scared of hitting my goal. I guess I'm in disbelief. I remember ...

Coconut flour and oil? - Where do you find them? I'm looking for some alternatives to the traditional stuff, but I have no clue where to find them. Any ideas?

Yay for Boston! - HUZZAH! THEY GOT THE SON OF A BITCH!!! I am so proud of the emergency response teams, the police, the volunteers, and those who opened up their homes and hearts. Pride, sheer pr...

Kind of a vent - Our neighborhood trouble maker works with my husband. Last night, he asked how he could go about getting his wife the surgery. They can see a big difference from across the stre...

Is my scale REALLY that far off? - At the doctor yesterday, I weighed in at 175. I almost cried because my scale at home had said 171. Mind you, this is with fresh batteries. Guess I need to invest in a better sc...

Having a scope done at some point and my OT rant - I went in to the ER last night. They prescribed me more Nexium, Zofran, and Maalox. The only GOOD thing that really came of it was being able to be seen by my PCM in the next co...

Spoke with the bariatric nurse - She said since I'm 4 months out, when I have these pains, I need to go to the ER. Faaaaaaaaaantastic! I feel fine after my stomach settles from eating, but it's DURING meal time...

It's official: I'm miserable - I went to the hospital yesterday due to a severe migraine. (My botox wore off, but I have to wait until the 2nd for another dose.) Combined with the nausea that I've been having...

tired and busy, NSV, and pics - It still hurts a bit to eat. Kind of a soreness instead of the sharp pains. I still have to be careful because I'm getting the foamies pretty often. On a brighter note, I ha...
