- The good, the bad and the ugly:The good: My lab work! My doc had ordered a blood test last week to see what my A1C looked like. Pre-surgery, it was 6.9. Last week it was 5.9! My cholesterol and blood pressure have lowered quite significantly,...
- I can't believe I'm writing this--my own personal streak of good, healthy eating is busted. I spent the day grazing, though not on junk food. All healthy stuff, but too much of it and now I feel sick. It's been a challenge to learn the...
- Hi all,I had my three-month post-op appointment last week and my surgeon is very pleased with how things are going. Incisions look good and my waistline looks even better. ;-) He asked how my diet was looking and I replied that I'm...
- Today I took my shower, but this time was different. By the time i'd washed my hair and combed it out afterward, I had enough loose hair in my comb and the shower drain to equal one generous-size handful, which is about eight times more than usual....
- Hi all,Hope all who celebrate Easter had a wonderful day yesterday!I work as a church musician. As I got out of my car yesterday morning to walk into the church for the Easter morning service, a white Toyota was driving down the street. It...
- I finally decided to buy some new unmentionables yesterday. I took several ladies' advice and got the push-up unmentionables, and I'm thrilled! Not only do they fit and make me look halfway decent, but I'm down to size 38C from a 42D! I also...
- Hi all,I stepped on the scale this morning for the first time in about three weeks and screamed when I saw where it stopped. I'd been stuck on 200-3/4 lbs for that time; soooo close to Onederland. All I could do was laugh. Well, today, I didn't...
- When I was a young adult, my older female friends and relatives would tell me to enjoy my "girls" because when I got older they'd succumb to gravity and lose their, um, perkiness.Well, here I am in my mid-fifties and not only did gravity attack...
- Hi all!Tomorrow marks three months since my RNY surgery and I'm down 63-3/4 lbs and four pants/dress sizes as well as a shoe size.Am feeling hungry at non-meal times and am trying to combat that by drinking water--my water bottle NEVER leaves my...
- Remember a couple of weeks ago how I said I have two friends who have generously shared their wardrobe with me until my weight stabilizes? One of them is a concert pianist and expert knitter, and the other is an expert seamstress and quilter, so...
- I knew that day would come, and it has. Had my RNY on December 11th so am eleven weeks post-op. Lost 19 lbs pre-op and 42 post-op for a grand total of 61 lbs so far (yay!), but in the last week have only dropped a pound. My goal is to lose 114...
- Hi all,I put two pictures up on my profile, so now you can see that cute red dress I've been so excited about. I bought it three weeks ago and have had to take it in four inches so I could wear it to my gig yesterday. Hope everyone is having a...
- Is it possible to post pictures here? If so, how?
- Hi all,Sorry I haven't checked in in a a while. I've been crazy busy with prep for a big concert this weekend, plus rehearsals for the spring musical at my daughter's school. Who has time to breathe anymore???Congrats to all who've hit goals or...
- Hi all,My clothes are starting to get rather noticeably big on me, so I went shopping last Friday for a new dress to wear for a concert I'm performing in two weeks from today. I tried on what I thought was my current size (24 dress, 26 pants) and...
