I'm going to be getting my daughter on the bus and then heading to the hosptial with my parents. My mom will be staying there the entire time which is making me feel a lot better. All i can ask for is that I return home safely to my daughter, Hailey. I dont want to think of this as the last time I could ever get her on the bus but I know no matter what...

Aries60's Blog - 3 weeks out today.

I am three weeks post op today. Time flies. I have found the past three weeks to be very challenging with trying to get water, protein, exercise, vitamins and food into my body every day. My weight loss is slow, but it is going down. I have only lost 20 lbs in three weeks. I am okay with the weight loss because I haven't been able to get exercise...

This past week has gone by fast.... Thinking I was too medicated jk! I actually stop taking my codeine on Sunday. I've felt great little soreness in the morning waking up but it's usually gone after the first hour I am up and itchy stitches. I've gone outside to enjoy the sun, and chill time with my dogs. I drove today that was interesting...

BugdocMom's Blog - I’ve decided to stop stripping

Wed, 16 May 2012 03:42:00 +0000

Along with the slightly bizarre new post-op habits I have developed (sniffing, basking, and tugging) that I discussed in my previous blog entry, I have also noticed some less strange, but still notable behavior changes that I attribute to my new post-surgery lifestyle. One of the more unexpected habits I have developed is stripping. No, not...

Everyone who knows me knows I dont like full body shots or belly shots as I always look 9 mths pregnant but now, I need some of those shots and Cant seem to find any!...

This is really the perfect amount of food. I'm short 20 grams of protein today, so it looks like my evening snack will have to be a shake.

Fat Bartender - First day back at work.

Tue, 15 May 2012 03:56:00 +0000

I really wasn't going to blog tonight. I'm pretty tired from my first day back at work, but I found myself drawn here anyways.

Thankfully I didn't have to be at work until 2pm today. So that gave me plenty of time to get up, eat breakfast, take a shower, pack my lunch/dinner/snacks, and walk the dog.

I had an egg again this morning for...
