Hi all...I'm feeling so much better than I thought I would. I never really had any pain, just slight discomfort here and there. My doctor is amazing and has me on just the right combination of drugs (antibiotics, anti-swelling, pain meds) to keep me comfortable. Read More

I'll post again when I'm up and around, which could be a few days to a week or so. But check the comments section attached to this post - I'll tell my husband to post a comment with an update as to how the surgery went. Thanks for all the good wishes...see Read More

Until now I've been fine. A little nervous, a little excited, but for the most part kind of detached. Today we (my husband came with me) went to my pre-op appointment. First they gave me a ton of post-op instructions to read through and sign, then I had Read More

Hi Jess - Sometimes things post duplicates. I deleted the other ones. No problem! Thanks for socializing. Don't worry, very little creeps me out. ;-) In answer to your questions: I started out intending to research a lot, but the first three sources Read More

To me! It's been a good few days eating-wise, so I've kicked my funk from the end of last week. We celebrated my birthday Sunday with my family. My mom and grandmother set up a whole salad bar; it was terrific. They did have an ice cream cake, which Read More

The week started off pretty well but just gradually started to turn for the worse and pick up speed. My husband developed a killer headache that resulted in his doctor ordering a CAT scan; my daughter was up all night last night with a fever that today Read More

As I'm waiting for my Trader Joe's "No Pudge" brownies to finish baking (yum!), here are the questions I asked him and his responses. Most of the questions were mine, but a few came from friends and Peertrainer pals. Again, some things may not make a Read More

My surgery is two weeks from today, and that means preparations are underway. The instructions from the doctor that I have to be following now (for two weeks prior and two weeks after the surgery) are: 1. I should take 500 - 1000 mg of Vitamin C per Read More

A few of you may remember that I posted about this early in the spring. Don't bother going back to look for it; I later deleted the entry. I'm revisiting it now, though, after a long internal struggle. The struggle, incidentally, is not with the decision Read More

So much nicer up here than on the ground staring at it rolling away. Today was the first day in weeks that I actually came in under my calorie goals. It's just been one thing after another. Last week I did pretty well but kept going over just by a Read More

I haven't turned on my computer for three days. I feel guilty not logging but it's kind of liberating sometimes. I had a really bad day Friday but since then I've been doing all right. Weighed the same this morning that I did last Monday so hey, that's Read More
