you aren’t – last night at the Pens @ Canes game I had a 2 sided sign for him “We LOVE Potash” and “TH9NKS DAN!” He stopped by me twice and thanked me. Love that man! =)
Merriam Webster defines judgment as opinion. And I really do try not to judge people too harshly because I don’t know what they are going through. Everyone deals with life in their own way. BUT (and you knew there was a but coming right?), there are things that I will judge you for and unless YOU change I won’t let… Read more »
I’d like to say I am evolved enough that the numbers don’t affect me. I know that I went through weight loss surgery for more reasons than getting my BMI to an acceptable number. Even though I think the BMI is complete bullshit. I could tell you that my brain doesn’t squeal with delight when I walk by the plus… Read more »
There was something wrong with my brain, even though I weighed over 330 pounds I never saw myself that way. Sure I knew I was zaftig – but just how fat never really entered my mind. Forget that I could no longer see my toes – much less touch them. Forget that I would about collapse after climbing a flight… Read more »

Break through pain sending me into the fetal position crying out. It has been a rough patch for sure. I had x-rays done at the… Read more »
I have lost over 40lbs and everything surgery related has been smooth. However – a terrible pain in my back/hip/left leg kept me from sitting at my desk for over 2 months. I saw a PT yesterday and even though the 3 doctors I saw said it was sciatica – PT thinks it is a bulging disc and thinks he… Read more »
Tomorrow I get to introduce my new guts to full liquids. I am so excited. Still no chewing – I miss chewing – but at least I can have a cup of real tea with cream! Am loving the weight loss — 16 lbs down week one. The only problem I am having so far is the pre-op sciatica bullshit…. Read more »
So here it is time for me to go on the all clear liquid diet until midnight tomorrow – then the nothing til after surgery diet. I like to think I am calmer this time around but let’s face it this really is a life altering deal. I am ready but I am still a little worried about the surgery… Read more »
