Hormone dump, you suck - I am so weepy. Like all the time. For the last few days it hit around 8pm, but right now I'm sitting at my desk at work trying not to cry. I'm not sad, I didn't just staple my fing...

A rough day that DIDN'T end in ice cream - Oh my, what a shit day. That's all there is to it. It's gloomy and raining, my abdomen is hurting (not like I need to call the surgeon, just achey), shark week has begun, it was ap...

Food, food, food - For someone who is normally not even a cup of food in one day, I spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about food. Not longing for it - just thinking about what I'm going to ...

Go away ice cream truck! - I've been able to hear the ice cream truck for exactly an hour now. I've never actually gotten ice cream from an ice cream truck, but the music does constantly make me think of ice...

< - I've only lost .5 pound in the last two days. I know I shouldn't say only - any time the scale is moving down is a victory as far as I'm concerned - but normally I wouldn't update ...

What are your favorite blogs? - Ok, so I know about The World According to Eggface, do you have any other favorite blogs to follow for RNYers?

100 to go! - I updated my health tracker this morning and I'm exactly 100 pounds from my goal weight of 155. Weighing 155 would finally, finally put me in the normal BMI range. It would mean th...

Hitting the road - My aunt, uncle, and I went to visit my 92 year old grandmother today. As she would say, we "went up the country" to the area where she was born and her family lived and farmed. We ...

My first (little) NSV - Today I realized that I had to move my FitBit bracelet to the next tighter hole - it was way too loose!

Thank god for "fancied up" protein shakes - I'm going to say it - I basically HATE every protein shake I've tried post surgery. I can get down the Nectar Lemon Tea, but everything else made me want to gag - until yesterday w...

What's your favorite Nectar? - My program really encourages us to use Syntrax brand Nectar for our protein shakes - the Nut likes its stats the best. I like the lemon tea flavor and the choco is ok, but I'm look...

Thanks for the words of encouragement. I've been doing fine and...
