  1. I get it

    I remember reading several different times that the scale will not reflect your actual progress like the change in inches. I didn't want to believe it because that damn scale has been my barometer for so long. But for whatever reason, today it clicked. The scale is moving incrementally but I am down another size. This stubborn, my way or the highway chica is trying to get more and more open to possibly not knowing it all. Possibly.

    I am grateful for opportunities to grow. (Mostly.) ...
  2. New Game

    My new fun, fun game?

    What should I wear tomorrow??? Great fun, indeed!

    Hope you are all well!

    Slow and steady wins the race. One day at a time. It's a marathon, not a race. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels. What other platitudes can I think of....

    Cheers!!
  3. One Month!!!

    Greetings! Today is the on the one month mark for me. First and foremost? I am grateful. Beyond words. Since starting my journey with the sleeve, I have lost 36 pounds, with 14 of them post surgery. I am daily working on being content with the progress and trusting in the process.

  4. Flu like symptoms

    Greetings! I am 16 days post surgery and healing well, thankfully. But I can't tell if I have some sort of flu or if this is sort of typical for the healing process. Diarrhea off and on, some cramping in my lower intestines, and then just generally feeling crappy. I'm getting my protein and waters in. And I went to the doctor yesterday to get a full work up: urine, blood, and fecal. Just to be sure. I felt so good the first few days, then not so much at all.

    Any thoughts? Much appreciated! ...
  5. Unrealistic expectations? Who, me?

    Hello, fellow journiers. Sitting in the Denver airport on my way home (There really is no place like home...) And I realized I have a little work to do in the patience area. I found myself getting annoyed about this symptom or that. And then it just hit me. I am three and a half days out post surgery. And, considering that? I feel amazing. I think my head is still catching up with what I have done. I guess my complaint is that I feel so physically good that the symptoms I do have are minor annoyances. ...
