Farewell to my Stache.........

OK today I decided to pamper myself a little and get a manicure. Then the nice ladies talked me into getting my eybrows waxed and that stinking hurt like heck....but not as bad as when she asked me if I wanted my upper lip done? I was like HUH? I know I have some peach fuzz there but she was looking at me like I had a full mustache! AHH. So as I tried to play it cool and was like well do you think I really need it? she was like um YEAH its black??? OMGosh I wanted to die. So I told her in defeat OK fine. You know what that hurt so much my eyes watered like I was crying. So even though my eyebrows look nice and I have nice nails... I think I miss my Stache!!! (LOL)
Sarah got her nails painted and she was happy...as any preteen would be in a Salon. I'm surprised they didn't want to wax her legs!!!!
not hungry much today felling Blah... my labs came back perfecto!!! A little lower on all accounts but my Cholesterol was like Amazing!!!
Yipee for WLS!!!and Dr. Tanaka!!

Another Special Day on my Journey

Today was a good day, I wasn't really hungry today to I ate the bare minimum. I have to say things are going very smooth so far, Yes I have had foamies and yes it is very disgusting. I do have a hard time getting all the fluids in but, Protein is not a problem. I was asked by my options class psychologist if I would like to speak to any of the new options classes since I have now graduated and I already had my surgery...she feels I would have a lot of info that could be of interest to many of class participants. I think I would love that, because after surgery you are on your own, there is no one there holding your hand and face it you can only call the Surgeon so many times in one day. I was Blessed to find many many wonderful resources and on and off line support groups and forums. It truly is a unique journey for each and every individual. If I can make it easier for one person to get through the rough stage (the first few weeks to a month) I will feel like my efforts post surgery and many online hours were not in vain, plus I love to talk about something I'm so passionate about. I feel so blessed!

Moving on....

Now that I have officially finished my Options class which is pre surgery, I will be starting the support group. It will be another wonderful resource I can utilize on my journey. I have notices that my clothes are getting looser and my daughter keeps commenting on how I look thinner. I feel good, I have great energy. I do still get a pinch tired in the afternoons but that is getting better. I can't wait to start my full weight training because I am definitely going to need it! I still just do my arms and walk the treadmill(My escape) Ive been staying on track and have loved this adventure so far and I cant wait to make it to ONEDERLAND. That will be a dream!!!

Lazy Sunday

Hello all. I decided today to use Lyn or Kim's chicken soup recipe for our Sunday dinner, its a little cool today, low 60's and it just sounded soooo good. I love finding healthy, low calorie and low fat meals. Today we went grocery shopping and let me tell you, the healthier I get the bigger my grocery bill gets. NO JOKE :( My husband almost needed CPR for the 213.25 bill(YIKES) Why is Good, Wholesome, Health, Fresh food so darn expensive? Hey but I can buy 2 boxes of 8 Twinkies each for $5.00? No wonder I am so large, I was saving on grocery money (Ahem)J/K But seriously, I need to Find some sites that are Healthy meals and tried recipes, nothings worse than trying a new meal and it's horrible. So If ya'll know of any good sites or recipes let me know :)
