This is going to be a fast post as I have an appointment at 9 with my bariatric center and I have to get on the 8am call before that. I will come back later to update and make a proper post, but I wanted to get everyone started. QOTD:…

SV first...I've lost 85 pounds! I'm still over 200, but barely, and I can't wait until I'm under 200. The NSV happened while buying the new car. I have a 2007 Jeep, our daughter just turned 16, so she is getting the Jeep and I went to buy my new…

Still the best decision I have ever made for myself! I was right at 500 lbs and growing monthly when I started this journey. Today I am almost 70 years old and I am convince I would not be here if it were not for the DS. Today I float…

Tuesday another day closer to the weekend. I always wanted an English Bulldog they just have the cutest smoosh face. I got my stuffing bread and dinner rolls so my shopping is 100% complete for Thanksgiving. Now I will just start prepping things. Meisha had a bit of a tummy…

Whoa Monday already. Ended up taking a bunch of stuff out of the freezer and made everything from venison and pork jerky to ham salad with some cut up random pieces of pork from one of the pigs. Then some split roasted chickens. I told my husband we are going…
ladygodiva1228Is there anyone still here from the 2006-2009 time frame? Those were some great times here, and my current wife wears my old SBK Radio T shirt around the house every now and then. Umm, I'm still getting more action than I likely deserve with a wife and GF at…

Happy Tuesday!!! Feeling so much better today. Still don't know what the heck was going on Sunday, but just glad it has passed. Nothing much going on at work today and it looks like we will be getting some much-needed rain on Thursday and potentially into the weekend. I have…

Ah Friday you grace us all with your presence. I have a half day today and I'm praying nothing crazy happens. Have to stop at the feed store to grab some critter grain. I plan on sorting through my chickens and thin out the flock. I think we have about…

I have had trouble with mind games before, am I really hungry? No, just bored, go for a walk instead. But the biggest mind game I'm having trouble with is looking in the mirror. When I look in the mirror I see the 265 pound Lisha. Not the 175 pound…

Had a great weekend in Florerence, but wore out my feet! Tons of walking and massive flights of stairs. The number of stairs to get to the next floor is double in some of these old palaces. So for every floor, you are really going up two flights worth of…

Two weeks into my time in Cortona, Italy. My goal was to move away from the tourist mentality to a "what is it like to live here" one, but it has been a continuum shall we say. There is so much to see and do here that the tourist side…

Having a wonderful time in Cortona trying to balance both the "regularly living" and "being a tourist." It is difficult to get away from the tourist mode as there is so much to see and explore. Churches and food seem to dominate! With the mouth issues, I can't take advantage…

On Nov. 21, 2011 my life began...again. I decided to have gastric bypass surgery. That day saved my life & gave me my life back. I started my WLS at 491 pounds. That was the highest weight that I have ever been at in my entire life. I got my…

Today was a day of unexpected surprises. I stepped on the scale, bracing myself for the usual disappointment, only to be met with a shock. Down 10 pounds! I now weigh 340 pounds. While it might seem like a small victory to some, it's a significant milestone for me.…

I didn't realize how long it has been since I posted! Time does get away from me. I've been dealing with the ongoing auto-immune issues. Good news is that the burning tongue is improving, slowly, but improving. The pain has gone and most of the numbness. The taste is improving…

I had roux en y gastric bypass in 2014 with Dr Joya and Nathalie helped coordinate it then. I was 20 and the surgery was done so well I was up on my feet straight away. There were no immediate surgical complications, and I lived 10 years with this, at…
Dr. Ferzli is very knowledgeable when explaining the surgical options. He sure knows his stuff and is a confident, seasoned surgeon. He emphasizes that support is key to success and has a great aftercare program. His whole team is very helpful.
I first heard about Dr. Alvarez from a supervisor at my college internship. I've been thinking about getting the gastric sleeve surgery but didn't have any particular surgeons in mind. I took a leap of faith and I'm glad I did. My surgery was this past July. Dr. Alvarez and…
