i hate going to the movies because i always want to snack on popcorn or candy. My absolute favorite is hot dogs from the movie theaters. Hot dogs are so much more satisfying while watching a movie on a big screen for some weird reason. Then there is the smell of food in the air as you sit in the theatre that just gets my mouth watering. But i survived I didn't eat any popcorn, candy or hot dogs.
Another thing i really hate is fast food restaurants. When you're hungry you just want to stop at t
so I'm really upset because i just got back from San Francisco visiting my bestfriend who is more like a sister to me because we've known each other for 8 years and we've been inseparable since. anyway I'm really mad at her because she knows i got the surgery done and how rough its been for me my entire life with the struggle of my weight. so of course I'm basically on vacation and of course i eat whatever i darn feel like! burrito here some gelato here whatever...anyway she was like "wow you ju
So a silly, but fun discovery was made last night...my husband, as he was kissing me goodnight, put his hand on my upper arm and squeazed (something he always does - who knows why!) and he said, "Hey, your arm is smaller." YAY! Tiny bit by tiny bit, I will "unearth" my true self!
Today is a good day - I have officially landed in "Twosville!" The 299.5 on my scale this morning might seem like it's not a big deal to some, but considering that a month and a half ago, I was weighing in at 333, I'm very happy. My next goal will be 280 and I think I will continue to set "mini goals" like this all along the way - it's just too depressing to look at the overall picture sometimes! As they say, "A journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step." Guess I've taken a step or two and
Ok so we all know that exercise is a big part of losing inches and reaching our goals and I have been pretty lax about it lately. I was going really hard core back around Easter time and that month did really well with my weight loss and since over the last 2 months I've lost only 7-8lbs (not that those numbers are terrible but if I can achieve that with little or no exercise then I want to see what 3 weeks of hard core working out can do for me!! Plus I've got a goal of 175 by July 4th which se
Hello all,

I'm safely back home and I feel great! My experience at OCC was nothing short of wonderful. No pain. just gas. I'm starting to
get hungry now but I am committed to following the rules. I met 4 great women and I hope we can keep in touch. If anyone wants
to learn more about my experience just ask me. It was GREAT!!!
Hello again!
I have returned to the hotel and thought I would take time to update the blog.
Surgery went great! Everyone there was so helpful, kind, and attentive.
We got chicken broth twice, a few otter pops, and some capri suns; which helped.
I was up and moving about an hour after my surgery and then walked the halls
about every hour. I did not sleep well though, the air/ gas in my stomach made
me feel very uncomfortable, a few of the others who had the surgery said the same.
I am st
I just received final confirmation for my surgery this Friday. I set it up back in November and it has arrived so quickly! It came so quickly and now is much more real. I am apprehensive about the changes ahead. I can't remember being small and I know it will be even more psychological than physical changes that I will be dealing with.
Well.... *sigh*....
It is the night before the surgery. The first new day of the rest of my life begins at 7a tomorrow.
I am here in Tijuanna, Mexico watching television shows like Vampire Diaries and The Thomas Crown Affair
in spanish and thinking about what tomorrow means.
I am nervous, excited, ready, apprehensive, and mentally ready for what tomorrow means.
The two others that are getting their surgeries tomorrow were nice, and if they read this, I wish you both
the best of luck in yo

Well I am one week in and its going ok. My bloating is still a problem and I have horrible gas pains, but other than that I am feeling good about it! The OCC was a pleasure, the doctors and nurses were very nice, spoke perfect english and made my stay very comfortable. I have to admit, traveling into Mexico with Thousands of dollars cash, was a little scary, but I was instantly relieved when Fransisco picked us up at the San Diego Airport. Everything went smoothly and I could not be happier! Th
So I thought I was having a pretty good day today, food wise. I had a tuna sandwich with cooked brocolli ( OMG I am soo bad at spelling) and a banana. I mean I felt like I was on cloud 9, I was the queen of the world!! And then as my husband and I passed Wendy's on the way home he said those oh so GOLDEN words " lets get some Wendy's", I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT!! The words that turn me to mush, I have not been banded yet, by the way that sounds so weird to say " Banded", hmm anyways, so we....STOP
Wow I have never had my own blog before! I feel so independent and uplifted, if that’s even a word. I shall call this first posting Episode 1, because in the back of my mind, I have always thought my life was a soap opera, no no more like a reality/game show. Well about 1 month ago I decided to "take the plunge", NO not get married silly (I know that’s what you were thinking), GET LAPBAND!! I have always thought about it, but then I would look myself in the mirror and say" Olivia, you can do thi
