Glad to see that things are going well for you. Been thinking about bugging you allot lately because you do not show up on my post lists anymore and I can not re-add myself as a follower! Congrats on the tattoo and the bellybutton ring! For me, its a little decoration on my pasty skin. Some art that I can take with me to the grave! Got the onederland tattoo after the wedding! I made 2 promises on that vacation. :( Hit me up when you can.

If you got it replaced, why didn't they put in smaller port?

Re: Gastric Banding: Mushy Foods Phase

Any kind of rissoto can work, because you cook it so long even longer for mushy stage, you can put really great flavor like dried wild mushroom reconstituted of course and chopped to fine mince, cheese, meat broth, chicken or fish stock with fish ground up very small. egg or ham salad blended smooth black bean soup blended smooth. try to experiment.

Exactly this kind of blog-entry makes it so important that long-maintainers keep blogging...
So many of us are doing this journey and focusing on "losing"; but I noticed that as I get closer more and more thoughts (doubts?) are creeping in along the lines of "will I be able to maintain my weight?" or "Am I going to be one of those bandsters who eventually gain back their lost weight?"... Seeing someone maintaining and going through the new "fight" for and issues with keeping the loss off gives my kind the reassurance that it is possible.

Fresh Cilantro and some hot sauce, finish the soup... Couple of slices of avocado stirred in as well...

Glad I stopped by your blog and I'm happy to see that you're doing well. You look great! Sorry about your dental issues. Your procedure sounds rather dreadful. I hope you're healing well and that it's now over for you.

Oh no...I'm so sorry about your cousin and that you're having a rough time. I think that blogging about it and not just shutting down is very strong of you.

JennyJigglyBits — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 15:25:55 -0000

Hi Christine! Im sorry to hear about the tragic loss of your cousin! Hang in there girl. Despite depression, being self-concious and a little awkward, you inspire people! We all have our weaknesses, (ukrainian food over Christmas for me) but we are all here to give what we can in supporting eachother. You made me realise that! Thank you and all of the best in 2012!

Your diet is terrible! Not being mean, being honest. You're not eating anything, you're killing your metabolism.

Re: A very weird Christmas

Sarah — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 12:21:54 -0000

So sorry about the loss of your cousin.

I am so very sorry about your cousin. How tragic.
I will pray that these meds help you feel better.

Amandakiska — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 14:24:19 -0000

So sorry about your cousin. She was, indeed, very beautiful.

I am worried about you! Did you get into a car with a drunk driver? Sometimes when depression is a struggle, we do things that are rather reckless. Please look at your behaviors and keep yourself safe.

Sarah G — Fri, 23 Dec 2011 11:42:48 -0000

I am so sorry about the loss of your cousin.

I hope your GP and your counselor can help you through your depression.

Merry Christmas, Christine!

My heartfelt condolences for the loss of your cousin. It must be really tough on the family - especially this time of the year...
My gran passed a year ago - it was a awkward and sad Christmas for all of us. And she was frail and old - it must be so much more difficult when a young life is cut short so suddenly. I'm sorry about your loss.On a slightly happier note: I just want to wish you and your hubby a love-filled Christmas!
