- My surgeon's goal for me was 134. My personal goal was 130. I got to 131.4 around Christmas time and stayed right there. No matter what I did that was where I was staying. I finally decided I was done chasing a number on the scale and I decided I...

- I am going in on Thursday to be checked byte surgeon but I was just wondering if I can have a hernia and not be in a lot of pain? I have a large sized lump on the right side of my abdomen. It does not really hurt but it is uncomfortable and feels...

- I won tickets in a drawing to a water park. We went this past Saturday and I actually walked around in my bathing suit!! I would have never done that pre-surgery! I am not at goal yet but I am feeling better about how I look. And I was able to...

- I added some new pictures to my album. They are just a collage of my journey so far. I haven't been great about taking pictures of myself throughout my journey because I have always hidden from the camera. I don't feel natural standing in front...

- Not really good. :( The nurse practitioner had already suspected that I had an iron deficiency due to my symptoms. (always tired, really cold, and crunching ice constantly). But I also had a severe Vitamin D deficiency and my protein was low. I...
