Since the local library was closed yesterday for the holiday I called today about using their meeting room to hold a weight loss support group meeting. The guy who answered the phone said just to come in and fill out an application. So I headed over there before going to the gym this afternoon for [...]

Tonight I took a friend of mine who is interested in weight loss surgery to the info meeting for the WLS program I went through. I remember when I went in May 2009 to this same meeting to start my journey and how scared and nervous I was. I went by myself and didn’t know [...]

There has been some turmoil building with my weight loss surgery programs support groups. I know I have complained about it before but I tried to be a good little sheep and just go along with the flock and not be a problem but I just don’t want to do that anymore. I think this [...]

The other day I thought I could see the heat coming from the toaster while making some Bagel Thins (I should post a review on them!) and it was making the area around the toaster blurry. That or I suddenly had some weird kind of thermal vision super power. I made my bagel and it [...]

I want to take the opportunity here to rant about some trends I am noticing with individuals and their expectations of post-weight loss surgery life.
