Okay I’m dying to tell you guys about my day. As I write this blog I’m eating my “reward” dinner, because after what I accomplished today and how good I feel, I totally deserved. So first let me tell you about my yummy reward dinner then I’ll tell you what I did to earn it! I went to Lamb’s Thriftway today, one of my favorite local stores, they are definitely a more high end store, [...]
I was cooking up some of my Spicey Pesto Chicken Casserole today and decided to try out the Shirataki Noodles that I picked up at Market of Choice the other day with a little of the Pesto Sauce that I use to make the Casserole. Here's the recipe I used and a picture of how it looked before I fed it to my little Diva of a tummy! Asiago & Pesto Fettuccine with Shirataki Noodles [...]
Now that I'm starting my life after Weight Loss Surgery I'm finding that there are alot of things I want and need. A few of my friends and family asked me if I had a list going yet, so I figured I'd put some stuff together. Of course this list is also here for Jason to go off of, cus he LOVES to spoil me. We're not going to talk about how much of his [...]

So let me first say that if you haven’t heard of co-addictions, let me say that they are a very real thing, I’ve found that I picked up new addictions even before my Gastric Bypass. I mean I gave up a lot of addictions in the six months prior to my surgery. I gave up cigarettes, I gave up caffeine, I gave up soda pop, and now, I’ve given up my addiction to food. But [...]
You would think that after six months of working towards this goal. After six months of following the rules. After quitting smoking, giving up diet pop and carbonated beverages, after giving up caffeine, after drinking nothing but milk and having no food for four weeks, you would THINK that I’d have my head wrapped around all this and make all the right decisions.

I’m not the kind of person that comes up with great food ideas, heck if you give me a recipe I can follow it and the dish will usually come out just perfect, but when it comes to coming up with creative ideas of my own or putting my own dish together, forget about it. I have to say that my eagerness to start experimenting with food, with weight loss surgery friendly recipes and the [...]

Alright that is a lie, I am the first one to complain when I don’t like something and I have no qualms about telling you that I DO NOT like Vitamins, especially ones that taste like dirt and make me burp stuff that tastes like dirt for hours into my day. Why the hell can’t someone make a chewable adult vitamin that has everything a bariatric surgery patients [...]
Before I go off on this little diatribe let me send you to the story that has my blood boiling today. NAIL SALON CHARGES MORE FOR OVERWEIGHT CUSTOMERS This story was brought to my attention by a member over at the Thinner Times Forum. Unbelievable. I've been overweight most of my life. I've also been getting my nails done and getting pedicures since before I could drive a car, back when my mother used to [...]
