- I look at 2012 and think about the year left behind. I spent so many years making resolutions to lose weight, be healthy, etc, etc, etc. Each year those resolutions would fade and lose strength. In 2012 I made the same resolution as many times...
- and I still can't see it in myself when I look in the mirror. A friend of mine that I haven't seen since before the surgery stopped by today and when she first saw me the first words out of her mouth were wow you really have lost weight. At ten...
- Hope everyone here has a very blessed Christmas. I have attended several holiday parties and at first I thought they would be tough being so new out of surgery but they have been pretty good. I took some advice from the face to face support group...
- today I had to see the doctor because I was having pain in my left wrist. Long story short I have some torn ligaments and am in a splint for two weeks. But something good came out of the appointment. I was taken completely off my blood pressure...
- As I turned the channel to watch one of my favorite shows I got a glimpse of the special report that there was a shooting in Newton, Conn. where there at this time was 26 dead of which 18 are children. I kept my little boy home from school today...
- I stepped on the scale tonight after avoiding it the last week or so and found that I am now at 319!!! I can't believe it. Two weeks before surgery (which was 8 weeks ago) at my pre-surgery appointment I weighed 387 and now I am below 320 and only...
- so the last few times I have eaten chicken I have gotten the foamies and they are horrible. Making my tummy all kinds of sick. Gonna have to rethink chicken for a while.
- I can hardly believe just such a short time ago I was ready to give it up and was starting to regret having the surgery. Since getting the nausea meds that I can take when needed and the sleeping meds that I can take when needed I am starting to...
- I am feeling super today. I think that my body is starting to get caught up on the missing sleep. i took the sleeping pill the other night and slept really well. Fell asleep last night without the aid of a pill and slept fine. Woke up this...
- I got the clearance to eat some fruit and vegetables as long as I get all my protein in during the day. Let me tell ya I have been craving fruit really bad but my stomach won't let me have any. It just hates it and cringes at the thought of eating...
- So I am down 60 pounds since surgery seven weeks ago. That is awesome but there are many more to go. I've been given the ok to eat what I can to get the protein in and that as long as I am hitting at least 60 grams a day I am going to be doing...
- I didn't even know that my little chihuahua/whippet cross was pregnant she has always been rail thin and then I come home from the long trip to the doctors today and she is out of her pen. I noticed she had nipples and go to her pen and find three...
- It seems like I have been hit with a lot of things over this last year but the last six weeks have just been horrible. I never know from one day to the next if I am going to be sick to my stomach all day and barely get in the needed fluids. Today...
- This very loving group of people who are always ready to give words of support to those in need. Who are willing to kick a few butts when needed. Who are willing to dish out advice and listen to the whining when someone needs to vent. Thank you...
- I fit into a shirt that is a size smaller than I usually wear. I can't believe it. I'm so super excited about it.
