Don’t worry, I’m still talking about me!  He hasn’t gone out and found another wife or anything, even tough I’ve been urging him to find one that likes doing housework.  I could get into a little Sister Wives action if the other wife would do all the stuff I hate. No, what I’m talking about is my husband’s recent exclamations …

Yup, you read that right!  I have lost ONE HUNDRED FREAKING POUNDS!! Well, 100.7 to be exact!  I thought about waiting a day or two so I could make the title 101 lbs for my 101 list but I just couldn’t wait! I don’t believe it! Years ago when I made my 101 list one of the things that I …

Well it’s been a month now since I first started noticing an increase in my hair loss, and it hasn’t slowed down a bit.  If anything it’s gotten worse.  The only good thing, if there is one, with this hair loss is that it’s happening all over my head rather than just on the top.  With the Androgenic Alopecia that …

On May 12th my husband and I celebrated our 12 year wedding anniversary.  It’s still hard to believe we’ve been together so long as I don’t think either of us feel old enough to have been married for 12 years. Wasn’t it just a few years ago that we WERE 12? A few days before we were clearing out our …

When people ask me what my biggest problems are after my gastric bypass I think they are expecting me to say that I’m sick, that I can’t eat the things I love or that I have some freakish pain… but that’s not it, I have none of those problems.  Right now my biggest problems are hair loss (I knew this …

First, let me say… UGH! Second, let me say… DOUBLE UGH! Right, well now that I have that out of the way, I can get down to the topic at hand, hair loss. The view this morning when I looked over the side of my chair.  A graveyard of lost hair I’ve pulled off my shirt over the past day …

Three years ago Penny got me a ticket to see our favorite performer in the world, PINK!  It was such an awesome evening and I had the most amaaaaaazing time (I’m already counting the days until she is in Rotterdam again!).  There was only one down side… one thing that sort of put a momentary damper on the experience.  When …

Ok, well it’s been a little over three months now since my surgery and things are going well.  The weight loss comes and goes in waves but I’m noticing the changes mostly in my clothes.  Meaning, I have very little left that fits!  Again, a luxury problem, but a problem nonetheless!  I am going to have to bite the bullet …

Wahoo!  I’m so happy!  Today is a great weight loss day for me!  Getting below 100 kilos was one of my first goals after my surgery, and I’m finally there.  As usual when you have a specific goal in mind, that last kilo hung on for dear life. I felt like I spent a week hovering at 100.1 – 100.3 …

I know that when people who have WLS do blog updates, one of the things people are interested in most is seeing the progress photos. At least that’s what *I* always wanted to see most. I have been taking photos along the way but I have to say I’m not really loving it yet.  From my experience and what I …

I wrote weeks one, two and three at length because I feel like they were the weeks where I went trough the most changes.  It was one huge learning curve and my body was adjusting and recovering.  Going into week four things changed and while they have continued to improve, there hasn’t been a massive amount of differences from week …
