Tonight I had the opportunity (and the privilege) of attending my first support group at the Billings Clinic. It was so encouraging to listen to others share their stories and their successes. I cannot fully explain how much it means to have a group of people who have gone through... Continue reading

It's seems crazy that I had surgery 10 days ago. I feel really good, I get tired a little bit later in the day but, other than that, all is well. I was able to start having some pureed food yesterday and ate part of a scrambled egg and some... Continue reading

My surgery took place on Monday afternoon and to be honest, I really don't remember much about that 1st day. David said I kept repeating things in the evening but I think he is just playing with my head. Tuesday was an experience. I didn't anticipate how much pain I... Continue reading

The weekend continues to be a little difficult. I don't know why but, I am really missing putting crunchy things in my mouth tonight. I am sure it is because I am down to the last few days of a complete liquid diet and I am looking forward to something... Continue reading

I had a great afternoon hanging out with good friends and creating snowmen for the grand kids Christmas stockings! The snowmen are made from chocolate bars, a snowman wrap, created by Chris and children's socks. They were so easy to do and I think I will be making a few... Continue reading

Today was a difficult day - I cannot believe that my surgery date is Monday. I am not worried, nervous or stressed - Just anxious to have this part of the process over. I have had so many wonderful people reach out and support me over the last few days... Continue reading

I had my pre-op appointment today - I can hardly believe that my surgery date is just a few days away. Reality is starting to sink in and I am excited and scared at the same time; quite the whirlwind of emotions. I want to thank those of you who... Continue reading

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to go see the conclusion to the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn Pt 2. I attended the all day marathon with my friends Annette and Chris and I was pretty well fried on Twilight movies by the time Part 2 began. Very quickly,... Continue reading

Hello Chris - you would be in the category of those who love me and support me even though they disagree with my decision - I respect that. I know you love me and only want what is best for me = I love you too!

I had planned on continuing my story from yesterday but, instead I have decided to write about something that has been bothering me the last few weeks. Please note this is not directed at one person but to a collective many from the past 6 months. I have not hid... Continue reading

I have often looked back over my youth and pondered at what point did my weight become an issue. I was a very "normal" weight up until my freshman year of high school. It was during the summer of 1979, a year for all intense and purposes, I would rather... Continue reading

By this time I was diagnosed with Hypertension, High Cholesterol, Diabetes (Insulin Dependent and on a Pump) and Osteoarthritis. I was miserable... Continue reading
