And it has been scheduled...

It’s official, they’ve put me on the calendar and now all I have to do is wait. Well not exactly... there is still so much I have to do before the surgery. I have to order vitamins, massive water bottles (64 oz), 4 oz containers for when I’m on the liquid and pureed stages and a handful of other things. There are still tests that have to done and labs that have to be run but so far it all looks like it is going to be fine. Along with all of that I have to be sure I have Dalton taken care of while I’m in the hospital. Wish me luck!

One of my hummingbird paintings, today was a rough day I got on the scale and was horrified by the number I saw. So after I spent about 10 minutes crying I scraped my ass off the floor went in the kitchen and made myself a healthy green smoothie of unsweetened cashew milk spinach half a small avocado and protein powder that's only a hundred calories a serving and ice and I'm sitting here choking that down. When I finish with this post I am going to go onto another app and calculate the calories on this lovely smoothie and I'm going to move on with my day including going to the gym and working my ass off for about an hour and a half at some point Life Goes On calories on the scale or not the end of the world but certainly a warning that if I want to stay in this world I better tighten up myas Act blessings all have a good day. #vsg #vsgcommunity #painting #hummingbird #acrylicpainting #wlsjournal #wlseats #recoveryisworthit #nutrition #wlscommunity #wls (at Claremont, California)

There's like 10 different types of cauliflower out there and each one has their own unique flavor this one is kind of like a combination between broccoli and cauliflower. It's called broccoliflower aka Romanesque. I like to steam it and then make a little bowl of homemade marinara sauce too kind of dip it in it's kind of good. Had a rough week this week but I'm back on track and taking care of myself hope you're all doing well! I only lost 3 pounds this week only well okay I lost 3 pounds this week yay! . . . . #wlsjournal #wlseats #wlsworkout #wlscommunity #vsg #vsgcommunity #Vsg #vsgsurgery #vsgjourney #vsgjournal #tops #weightlifting #weightlosstransformation #weightwatchers #weightlosssupport #weights #weightloss #weightlossjourney #cauliflower #hope#organicfood

The Blame Game

**WARNING: "THIS IS US" EP 10 SPOILERS**

Watching "This Is Us" ep 10 where Kate and Rebecca are going over her pre-op and afterwards, hit so close to home. I've suffered from depression, I've binged, I've had unhealthy relationships with food, and most of all, I've blamed others for it.

I've blamed my parents for not monitoring how much I was eating, for letting me go back for 2nds and sometimes 3rds.

I've blamed my mom for making me diet-hop since the age of 9. (I will never forget 'Sweatin' to the Oldies' with Richard Simmons)

I've blamed my parents for not educating me on how to eat healthy.

I've blamed my parents for my binge eating.

I've blamed my parents for my depression.

And do you know who I didn't blame for a long time?

Myself.

By then, I was living on my own, buying my own groceries, and responsible for my well-being. It was when I took a nutrition class, started seeing a dietician, and focusing on ME that I was able to see I was also the problem.

I really love that "This Is Us" is going to focus on WLS and I wonder if Kate is going to face those struggles of realizing she can’t blame anyone else anymore. Most of all, I hope WLS isn’t Hollywood-ized as some sort of miracle cure either.
