Some people are like slinkies: they don't really have a purpose, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Feeling super tired and have been having blackouts/fainting episodes. Hope this goes away soon!

I've found that not only am I walking really slowly, but I drive really slowly too (can't help it)! I must be pissing the other crazy California drivers off. I feel like I should have an AARP sticker on my car to warn others!

3 days post op! So much gas. Walking doesn't seem to help. I hope this gets better!

Dr. Aceves' team is great. Love the hospital but it seems so out of place. An immaculate medical haven in the midst of a war zone. Strange.

I am leaving for Mexico tomorrow morning! I. am. TERRIFIED.

What the heck is a carb-free food? Ice?

Burned over 700 calories at the gym for the SEVENTH day in a row (in addition to eating low-carb, low calorie meals). Still no movement on the scale -- not even an oz. I seriously hope my sleeve will be able to help me.

Thank you guys for your [indirect] support. As I get closer to my date, I've found that all the people who initially supported me now do not. And now I'm just an inconvenience. I feel really shitty overall but I'm so grateful for you all.
