About Me

Well, what can I say..I have lost and gained 100 pounds from the time I was 18, that I have researched Dr. Ortiz's facility and as an healthcare provider was impressed, went with my daughter when she was banded and after talking with Dr. Ortiz decided to go for it..Reading everyone else's blogs and comment's really helped bring me to the table...I am excited but a bit nervous...but my daughter is responding well and what better way for us to support each other..I almost can't believe that I might have found something that will really give me the life I always dreamed of....

    Hi Michelle. About breakfast, sausage wont really work unless I chew forever. I do eggs and flax bread. Its gluten free so it doesnt get stuck. Sometimes I just have flaxbread with cream cheese, peanut butter, or something else protein-y slathered on it. I always have tea 1st thing in the AM, otherwise I get the golfball-in-throat-feeling, no matter what I eat. Yuck.
    Let me know if u need ...

    Congrats on your graduation. Must be pretty glad all of that hard work is over. But...if you are like me, you would do it again.
    You are an inspiration to all of us.
    Congrats Again,

    Hi Sandy,
    I am afraid to eat food too, because I know this is where some bad habits happen...like knowing when to stop and not feeling guilty about leaving food on the plate...I am mentally preparing..this will be one of my biggest challenges..

    Hang in there..I have to say without Advil during work I can def feel the pain. I took another bandster's suggestion and am wearing the stretchy tank top thing under tops..really helps..Lane Bryant sells them. The hunger starts to fade..it's always a feeling but not as bad..just different. Soup tonight than god..Hang in there..how many days since surgery for you?
