All it I takes is a quick look at my blog timeline to see that other than the odd knitting project, I’ve not really been writing a whole lot. Why? Well, mostly because I’ve been too damn tired. I had very limited mental and physical energy to put towards anything and blogging wasn’t really a priority. In a few of …

So it’s been 7 months now since my surgery and I am still as happy as can be! It has been a long day today and the next few days will be equally busy. I’m totally tired out… but, I knew if I didn’t do this update now that it wouldn’t get done for quite a while. I’m not going …

What the hell? Six months already?  Have I mentioned how I feel like I’m in a total time warp lately? Eish… Anyway, once again I am late with my photo update, but whatever, that’s just how I roll.  I actually did plan on having them done on time this month but then with losing Spencer and everything, ugh… I just …

Remember the time when my husband got into my pants?  Well last night he got to return the favor! Get your mind out of the gutter, if you clicked the link you know I’m not talking about that. Yesterday was 5 months since my surgery, and I feel like I’m in a total time warp.  How on earth has five …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The catch-up continues! Here goes! WEEK TWO The Food Week two brought on a lot of changes, all of which were definitely for the better.   I was no longer stuck to thin liquids and I suddenly had a whole new variety of food opened up to me.  I was able to eat pudding, protein shakes (I also was able to …

I think the thing most people are curious about, other than the surgery itself when they are thinking about it, is what happens afterwards.  What are those first few days and weeks like?   Well, I’ve heard every story under the sun from the woman who claims to have gone back to work only two days later, to people who were …
