Thanksgiving Day...

Today is Thanksgiving.. SO many emotions going through my head right now.. So many reasons to be thankful today.. And wondering how today is going to go. How am I going to feel around so much food? How am I going to deal with NOT eating so much food?! I'm I just going to graze all afternoon? (I'm at work til 3, boo!) How did you vets handle your holidays? I'm nervous, I don't want to waste food.. I find that is all I do lately. My eyes are litterally bigger than my stomach.. LOL.. We shal

Almost 3 Months Post Op

Wow.. I haven't blogged in thiiisss long!!! It has been a CRAZY 3 months to say the least!! November 22nd will be my 3 months.

2 Weeks Post OP!

Holy crap! Has it been two weeks since August 22nd... Yup, it sure has!! It went by fast, at the time it didn't.. But now it feels like it did.. This past week I really feel like I've felt my best. I had a few "baby's day out" days.. Yesterday I ran some errands, didn't get exhausted or sore... I think I'm really to increase my walking. I weighed myself today... Surgery day weight was 256, and today I weighed 242. That's 14 lbs in two weeks?! I'll take that! Target skirt here I come!

Everything is separated, just before he took out the remainder of my stomach... I like to think of it as a reminder of what I went through so I can make this life change.. Everyday is getting better.. I'm confident in my choices now.. I'd just KILL for some real food! LOL... Keith asked me what I want for my first real meal, and I was crying saying "I don't wanna think

OK, Let's Do This!

Ok... Today is 4 days post op.. I'm home.. I'm somewhat comfortable... I'm already confused! HAHAH! Let's go to surgery day! On the 22nd I had to be there at 5:15 for the dose of heparin before surgery at 8:15.. Pre op time with my mom was good, my hubby stayed home so he could get our two kids off to school, and be there when they got home.. We waited and waited.. Finally the team started trickling in and introducing themselves. I had a great team of nurses, anestethesiologists and of cour
