Today, I made my second weight loss goal.  350 lbs. I know 350 is still huge, but considering I was 440+ pre-surgery, it's pretty good. I set my goals in levels. First goal was 375, and 350 is my...

Why, why, why do I always set myself up to fail? Today I was at my moms house giving my bro a break from caretaking. It's always hard there because they have junk food everywhere. All the stuff I...

Wow! I am so excited. I woke up this morning without pain. I went to the dr. appt and came home and still not pain. It usually gets worse in the evenings so I don't know if it will come back tonight...

I feel like the pain is lessening today but I can never tell because sometimes it comes back worse than before. All in all, it's better. Will be soooo happy when it's gone for good! I did find a way...

I'm still having a lot of pain, but I am hoping it will go away soon. On the up side I am losing a steady 2 lbs a day. I try not to weigh everyday, but Ive been having to go every couple of days and...

I'm seeing my doctor every few days to monitor my pro times. The previous appt was 5 days ago. I went again today and was shocked. I have lost 10 lbs since my last visit! I am so excited. This is the...

Well, the cravings continue to lessen, but I still long for food that I can't have. It's just not as strong, or ridiculous as it was. My problem now is pain. All my incisiion sites are healed and...

I really am starting to scare myself because of the cravings and desire to eat that have not left me. Once I almost grabbed a snack before I remembered that I can't have solid food. I'm 9 days post...

Well, went to the doc today. He said I'm healing up fine. He said the pain I have in that spot is normal and clarified a few things. (sidenote-my PA has the biggest, solidest guns I have ever seen! I...

I was feeling much better today. Only using meds at night to sleep. I decided to go out for a walk since my doc was really harping on me to walk. I walked to my mailbox (about a block and a half each...

Well I'm just home from surgery. I guess that means I survived. lol. I'm still drugged up so I"m just going to write a quick synopsis. I can go into detail later. I was in hospital 5 days. They found...

OK. tomorrow is d day or more accurately S (surgery) day. I'm more nervous about the heparin shots I have to get 3 x's daily than the surgery. I hope this goes well and the weight comes off quickly....

Surgery is 3 days away. Excited. Not too nervous right now, but I am having a little bit of  the mourning for food syndrome. I've lost all but 1 lb of what I gained over Christmas, but I'm eating...

Well, I went to the cardiologist for my angiogram, and he found that my heart was not as bad as he had thought or as the echo's had shown, and he cleared me for surgery. I now have a tentative date...

As the title says, I have good news and bad news. I'll start with the bad news. When I went to the Dr. I had gained 5 lbs since before Christmas. Therefore, I am quitting the fast 5 program and going...
