Looking Up

I'm not sure if it's possible that my antidepressant could be having an effect already (day 4), or if it was just a good day, but I'm feeling very positive today.

Woke up and my scale looked to be going in the right direction.  I didn't take my antidepressant right away because I was going my friend's son's first birthday party and didn't want to feel horrible for it.  I waited until 5:30pm to take it so I really got to enjoy the day without nausea or feeling extremely tired.

The party was really good and I felt pretty for the first time in a LONG while.  I'm thankful to finally have had a good day.  It's the first completely positive day I've had in longer than I can remember.

Just me before the party.

I didn't want to post photos of the party (with the baby) without my friend's permission, so you'll just have to deal with my vain selfie.

Thank you to all of you for continuing to read and support me through this dark spot.
I know the negativity can get old.
I promise you all I'm trying really hard to get to a better place and bring you my usual positive self and good weight loss news!  :)

I'm turning 25 at the end of this week so I wanted to write 25 things I'm thankful I can now do that I couldn't do at this time last year in celebration of another year of life. 1.

WLS Bullying

Have any of you noticed how much bullying exists among us in the WLS community?  I'm not necessarily referring to those of us in blogland--in fact, I've never felt bullied or anything other than the most support here in my little blog world.  But in other parts of the WLS community I've experienced a lot of "my surgery is better than yours" comments and a lot of size comparison.  It's something that I first experienced when I tried a local WLS meetup.  I was the only person with a lapband at the group and it was then that I decided I would never go back. Now that I'm revised, I still disagree with it.  I would NEVER put someone down because they made a different decision than me.  Even with all my trouble with the band, I would never tell someone that they were making the wrong choice.  Your body, your choice. So, what's sparked this topic of discussion, you might wonder? Well, last month I went on a trip to meet several VSG sisters from instagra...

Shake Shake Shake, Shake your...... blender ball!

  I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Donna for introducing me to MyBariatricPantry.com !!!!  They sell protein powder by the tub or in samples (as well as other products).  I chose to go with 35 different samples. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know I've always been the "I hate protein powder" type of girl. Not anymore. So I wanted to share that with you. So far I have tried: Syntrax Nectar Roadside Lemonade Syntrax Nectar Chocolate Truffle Syntrax Nectar Caribbean Cooler Matrix Mint Cookie  (mmmmmmmmm) The Matrix Mint Cookie seriously tasted like a mint chocolate chip milkshake (but melty).  I bet if I put it in a blender with some ice, it would be as good as a milkshake. I will be buying that one in the huge tub!  All have been great so far though! Also, every single morning it seems like I see a new lower number! Eff yes!
