It's been 134 days since surgery. I've lost 80 total pounds, 70 since 12/24 when I started my pre-op liquid diet. Each and every time I step on the scale and I watch the needle move to a smaller number, I am reminded of how fortunate I am to have had this opportunity to change my life.
I find myself learning how to live again. It may sound strange, but I am relearning social eating, how to more appropriate deal with stress and anxiety, and how to live a healthier lifestyle.

It’s been 66 days since my surgery. I've lost 55 pounds since last year, and 45 since the start of my pre-operative liquid diet on 12/24/2012. I still have about 80 pounds to go to reach my goal weight, but I already feel like a brand new woman! I have more energy than I can remember having since I was a teenager. Prior to surgery it was my husband who had to wait for me because I couldn't keep up. We went for a walk this week and I felt like I was walking circles around him. We’re lifting

It’s the sort of information no one wants to hear. “You dad is on his way to the ER with chest pains and shortness of breath.” Worry. Fear. Emotions. The phone calls, text messages, and instant messages from other family members started flowing in and I became the unofficial family spokeswoman. “No news yet.”
In all of my 39 years, I've never seen my dad in the hospital. He’s retired, an active fly fisherman, involved in the community and stays pretty busy. But years of

I am 9 days post-op and had my first follow-up appointment today. I've said it before here, and I'll say it again... I've been incredibly blessed with minimal post-operative issues. I didn't have gas pain. I didn't get constipated. I didn't have bloating. After the esophageal swelling was reduced (from a hiatal hernia repair), I've had zero problems with reflux. I am hugely thankful for the skill of surgeon, the quality of care, and for the life-changing opportunity I was given. I believe

It's been 7 days since I was sleeved, and like all of us going through the initial stages of recovery, I've had a lot of time to think. In recovery I'm off of work, the weather is not inviting so I pace the floors in our tiny house. I think I make the loop a thousand times a day. It's during these continuous loops that my mind wanders.
I think about how grateful that my husband breaks his body to provide for us, and for the insurance we're blessed with that covered the bulk of
