Bye Bye Exercise Bike.
With my weight not being what I want yet I realize that I am going to have do work harder to reach my goal weight. This means I need to exercise. Ironically, I just got rid of our stationery bike on freecycle. It was making a great combo seat and scratching post for the cat, [...]
The Draining Of The Lap-Band
So on Friday when we parted I was being discharged from the hospital and on my way to see Dr Hottie. If you missed Friday’s post just click to read it, it will only take a minute. That way you won’t feel like you’re sitting down to watch a movie or show and the first [...]
Day 2 After Lung Surgery – If It isn’t Cancer, It Must Be…
So when we parted ways yesterday I was screaming from the pain of having a chest tube removed. (If you missed yesterday’s post just click to read it – it will only take a minute and things will make more sense that way.) So the chest tube was removed. Just thinking about it now makes [...]
A Big Announcement – My Lap Band Update Plus Before And After Pics
For those of you that don’t know, I had Lap Band surgery in April 2009. I was 374 pounds on the morning of surgery. I set goals along the way but all along my working goal was to get down to 200 pounds. My ultimate goal was to get down to 174 pounds. Some of [...]

Eight Week Update
I can’t believe it’s been nearly eight weeks since my Lap band surgery. I had my first fill in May. It wasn’t quite what I expected. It worked well for the first week but now I’m getting a little hungry at times (nothing requiring weight loss pills or anything). I think I need more restriction. [...]
Lucky 13 And My First Fill
I saw Dr Hottie the surgeon today. I had my six week follow up appointment and first Lap band fill. The first thing they did was weight me. Now I’ve been a bit hungry and eating for over a week. Not hungry and eating like before surgery, a lot less than that but more than [...]
T-1 To Mom’s Surgery
Well, Mom’s week on the pre-op diet is over. She was on the same pre-surigcal diet as I was. I’m really proud of her. She managed well and lost eight pounds. That’s awesome! Lots of people can’t even do that if they’ve taken a diet pill and she did it on her own. Tomorrow is [...]
