i survived 3 parties/BBQs this weekend, my intrepid band and I. I was SO good..but I'm kind of frustrated because since I went to mushies from liquids the scale has come to a screeching halt. I'm thinking about doing more liquids tomorrow...not complete liquids..but just to see if I can budge myself a bit.   This is weird..because it's so much easier than I thought..and yet it's hard at times. I've watched a lot of cheesecake, chocolate chip cookies, burgers, dogs, go in people's mouths ove

I thought about writing a blog for my weight loss and who knows how long it will last, but I feel the need to write about this interesting, somewhat bizarre journey. I mean I have a piece of plastic in my stomach. Now that's weird.   I am up too late as usual and I'm going to write my "real" first entry in a few hours. It's 2 am and I can't sleep. Today is one week post-op and I find that I'm all about the band. Don't want to drive my friends and family crazy--this is a place that I can t
