I had most of a Smart Ones turkey bacon quesedilla. I left some of the tortilla. Cheesy and delicious! 12g of protein.

I bought extras so I'd have vitamins at home and at work.

I was sleeved by Dr Boorse on 1/16. He's fantastic, and the nursing staff was great during my overnight stay!

I bought a box of Samoas. I put 4 in the freezer for myself and my husband ate the rest.

I love her crab rangoonies and the spice cake made with pumpkin. So good!

I was worried about skin, too, then I remembered that my husband is the only person that will ever see it if I have excess tummy skin or even if I get saggy boobs. Everyone else will just see a wicked hot skinny chick. My arms might be a problem, though, so I'll either forgo sleeveless tops or maybe save up for some plastics there.

I seem to have periods of 3-4 days where I don't go. Pre- surgery I was going twice a day.

I hear a lot about people cheating with milkshakes and it just boggles my mind that there's people that have milkshakes that often. I might have 2 during Shamrock shake time and maybe 1 over the summer if I get a big craving.

I haven't had any real soda issues, but like 2 weeks post op I had a bit of nausea and wanted a coke real bad. We don't keep soda in the house, though. At some point I'll probably be guilty of drinking a flat Diet Coke. I actually kinda like flat soda.

I'm a little over 3 weeks and gained 3lbs in the past 2 days. Super, super frustrating, but I'm just going to assume it's because my period is coming or something.

I feel down on the days the scale isn't kind to me. Then I want to kick it across the bathroom!

I agree, call your insurance company and ask if they cover weight loss surgery. Some companies will specifically carve it out of their policies.

2 slices of sweet Lebanon bologna and 2 cubes of meunster cheese.

Ooh, I thought of another. I won't miss having a regular size bath towel be too small to wrap around my body.

I think I have an infection in my wisdom tooth. Hurts like hell and my gum flap looks somewhat swollen. Good thing I still have pain meds from the surgery. Ouch ouch ouch, can't wait til my dentist opens up tomorrow.

Hopefully they'll all come around. Best wishes to you on your weight loss journey.

Compression stockings Ugly 11ww shoes Fear of wicker chairs Not having enough room or flexibility to shave my legs in the shower (I go sit in my garden tub instead) Using the handicap stall because it's bigger Being forced to take leftovers because, hey, I'm fat and I probably want them. Worrying about not being able to take my daughter on rides when she gets her first trip to Disney. Having people look in my shopping cart when I buy groceries.

I've been putting clear fiber powder in a good amount of my drinks.

We had a huge Super Bowl party at work yesterday. I ate, but not much of anything. A tablespoon of Mac and cheese, a few cheese cubes, and a tablespoon of spinach dip. But all the desserts sure looked nice.

I wanted a picture of my stomach all dead and lifeless on a specimen tray. I didn't get that shot, but I got some neat ones from inside. You just gotta ask.
