So I have had this problem for some time now where I know I am hungry and I know I need to eat but the thought of food or eating makes me sick to my stomach. Nothing appeals to me and even thinking about food usually makes me want to puke. I keep saying there [...]
I *hate* wearing jewelry. I don’t even wear earrings on a regular basis. And rings, bracelets, or watches- no thank you! I had a sleep study (again- the third one) before I have my WLS and THIS time it came back negative for narcolepsy (the first one said yes you have narcolepsy let’s drug you [...]
I am still making my way through my stack of protein that I have bought and have decided maybe it is time to get one of those protein shaker cup things. I know what they do and what they look like but the few stores I have remembered to look for one at did not [...]
Better a little late than never! I took my 3 month progress pictures last night. I am down 90 pounds so far! I feel amazing! I also started going to the gym last week. On my first day I did an hour of Zumba and an hour of pilates- I don’t know what I was [...]

Tomorrow I have to be at the local sleep center at 8pm for my third sleep study (which explains why I have Bedtime Care Bear as this post picture!). Even though I have been diagnosed previously with narcolepsy (a neurological disorder marked by a sudden recurrent uncontrollable compulsion to sleep) the doctors usually assume I [...]
My youngest son fell ill after having two head injuries at school and we spent some time at the doctor’s office and at the ER but his head seems to be ok. He was throwing up a lot and they just wanted to make sure. Then I got sick and was throwing up and running [...]
