I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. My mouth was really dry though. It reminded me of when I woke up after the surgery when I wasnt allowed to drink. The nurse had given me moistened sponge swabs to wet the inside of my mouth.

That first sip of water the next day was so good. :)

I had my first follow up visit with my family doctor today. She's very happy with the way I'm healing. A few of my steri strips have a few blod drops under them, but that's normal. She...

I have just come back from the movies and I went all by myself. I was quickly reminded why I don’t attend movies anymore. It was $9.25 for just me! Once the movie got started there were some little twerps behind me. Don’t get me wrong – I love kids. I have one of my own. These kids proceeded to start talking. Since I have had NOTHING to eat today my nerves were on edge. I had to ask them twice during the movie to be quiet. I felt like an old biddy – I wanted to enjoy the movie. Then on...

Hi all! I am so excited that I finally received my Lap-Band! I have been waiting so long for this, and I finally received it. Goodness, I am so sore though. This is my first week.

First, I am on my fourth week of my Master’s course. Yes, I know, I must be crazy, BUT, I know that in order for me to be able to pick and choose jobs, especially better paying ones, I need to get my CPA. So, I began again my Masters in Accounting and Financial Management via Online courses through the Keller Graduate School of Management...

I'm almost half way there and I thought this was going to be the hardest part of my journey. I was so excited today when I discovered the Vitamin Shoppe and all the new flavors of protein drinks they had. At least now I have variety. Just a few more days of being able to enjoy my dinner salads then only protein drinks for me until my surgery day. I'm proud of myself and even happier to see the scale drop a little. Can't wait to see what my end weight pre-surgery will be.
