Still around.. stalled, though. - I am at around 170 and I'm sitting at a size 10. Not too shabby for someone who was pushing into a 24 just a few months ago.
Not working is driving me CRAZY! I thought I would...

Just a quick update - I haven't been on in a while and I'd like to apologize. I really need to log in often to keep myself in check.

Back to basics... - I am just taking a break from food altogether. I decided to try and live as if I were still a pre-op and I learned a tough lesson. I covered that in the last blog. My pouch stil...

What is this? Day 40? Soo... about 6 weeks. (conf - I haven't posted lately because I am deeply ashamed of myself. As you know, Faithful Reader, I started the infamous "Week 2 stall" around day 9. Up until that point, I was los...

How long before it stops being a stall and starts - something to worry about? I have read posts that say 3 weeks and others that say 3 months. Correct me if I'm wrong... but, shouldn't the weight come off during the first month or...

So much to do today.. yet here I sit... - I need to go to DMV and pay the registration on my car. It's past due and they are requesting a smog. That's $219 to get the sticker plus who-knows-how-much for the smog. *sigh*...

Ugh. Stalls blow.. - I had a stall from like day 9 until day 15 or 16. Then I dropped the weight I had "gained" (it was water retention from my period) and a couple more pounds. Then... another stall...

1 week post-op - I have to say that I had my doubts. I mean, I did my research before surgery and I kept thinking "I'm gonna ROCK this!", but deep down I was sure I was going to fail.
