I just had a great moment! I stepped on the scale and actually did a little jump and arm raise!! Down 31 lbs now- I LOVE MY SCALE! lol. I have 3 times this to go yet, but 31 pounds are GONE and I am not scared to get on that evil thing anymore. It's lost it's fangs. It lost it's claws. We are walking this path together and it's my pal!

I don;t want to buy clothes, but the 26 pound weight loss makes my clothes look ridiculous! I had to pick up a few things for the interrum. After the next 10 lbs gone I will grab a couple things maybe from salvation Army as I can't spend $80.00 every 2 weeks. It was nice to wear something that fit and I felt slimmer, but I have such a LONG way to go. Not a lot of options here ion this little Island for inexpensive cloths, so happy there is Ross!

I really just am not myself, anyone else have ...

It is sketchy at best, but it's over and done with quickly. Sleep whenever you can. I mean this. Because they will get you up at 4 a.m. if it suits their schedule. The drivers are good guys. The nurses in the hospital are fine. If you know you are due for pain or nausea meds and it's a 1/2 hour past time, CALL the nurses ...

I am now closing my 4th day post op.The travel from Tijuana home was nightmarish. I am so happy to be here. I have had some real pain when putting nything down, like something is stuck, bit it seems to be a little bettr in the evenings. It also seems better with warmer liquids. However, I hate everything I go to eat! All chicken broth tates like a mountain of salt. Sugar free jello tastes like mountain of sugar. I had no hunger at all until today. I'm not sure if it was real hunger, or that I am ...
