BFE!

I moved. I am pretty sure I mentioned that before. I live in BFE now, lol. And our internet service sucks. It takes 15 min to load one page if it even loads at all. We are looking into the new satelite interenet but its kinda pricey. I havent lost anymore weight since I posted last. I kinda got off track. But I am working on getting back on track and have been counting my calories again. School is going okay. I am just ready to be done with it. It still seems so far away. I am trying to keep my

I can't even think of a good title for this post!

So where to flippin begin since I posted last. My grandma (who raised me and is more like my mother) passed away Feb. 14th. It still does not seem real. I have cried and cried and now I feel guilty because I can't cry anymore. My diet went in the toilet for the last couple of weeks. Dealing with her being in the hospital and never leaving her side the whole time she was sick. She went to the hospital by ambulance on Thurs. We recieved a terminal diagnosis on Fri. They did dialysis for two days t

Maybe..........

Okay so this is getting really annoying. I have posted 3 blogs that have disappeared. =( Anyway, I have had a rough last couple of weeks. My grandmother is really ill and was in the hospital for a few days. Her liver is screwin up big time. I have gotten her into a different doctor because the one she was seeing is a quack and shouldn’t have a license. I am the only one close that can take care of her. And I’m pretty sure she is ready to give up. But I don’t want her to yet. She has to see my ba

Well........

Alrighty then its been 13 days since my surgery and not much has changed. I am still a lil sore around my port site but I am feeling great. I have lost 10.5 pounds since surgery and a total of 26.5 pounds all together. My pants already fit more loosely, lol. I am trying to not become a compulsive weigher and weigh myself all the time. But its kinda hard not to, lol. Im picking up my cross stitching again and keeping busy with homework (trying to stay ahead of the class) to keep my mind off of fo

Welcome Home

What a night! My first night back on the job and I lilterally walked into a mad house. OMG! 6 months and I never ever had a night like last night. It kinda made the time go by a lil faster but then I also felt so behind the rest of the night. But other than my diet changing on Wed to pureed foods, nothing new to report on that. I am walking like I am supposed to and I am following the diet like I am supposed to. I am trying not to become obsessive about weighing on a daily basis. Thats a bad ide

ONE WEEK!

Wow, I can't believe its been one week already. I feel pretty good. Im a lil sore still around my port site but doing very well. I started my college classes on Tuesday and wasnt very comfortable sitting in those stupid desks, lol. I am taking Ethics and Psych. Its gonna be crazy. I go back to work on Friday night and Im a lil nervous about that. I am nervous about how I am going to react and how Im going to adjust to eating that first night back. I guess I will need to take a nap, lol. I also h

Day 4 post-op

Okay so Im day 4 post-op and Im a lil scared and nervous. I am drinking my protein drinks ( I bought that big tub of powdered protein from Wal-mart) 4oz twice a day. I am drinking water but since I havent been hungry since my surgery on the 12th I am uncertain about when I should eat......well drink. Tonight for dinner I had liquified chili, lol. Sounds gross but was actually very good. I also had a cinnamon roll flavored yogurt, Yum!!!!! I went to a restraunt tonight with my DH and BFF and watc

Tomorrow is the big day

OMG! Tomorrow is the day. I am nervous, excited, scared and soooooo ready for it to just be over with, lol. I'm ready to eat real food again, no matter how small the portion, lol. I'm not really hungry with the liquid diet just need something to chew, lol. Gum just doesn't do it for me. I have to be at the hospital at 8am and I think I am scheduled for about noon. I can't wait. I have already lost 12 pounds just being on the pre-op liquid diet although that was on Sunday, not sure what it is now
