I'm Kris and this blog is all about me and food and fat and diabetes and addiction and cancer and the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure.
In 2009 I decided to have a gastric bypass to help me lose the excess weight I've been carrying around for what seems like forever. I can barely remember a time when I was not fat in my life. I've seen the pictures of me before I started school and I was pretty average, but starting around first grade everything goes to hell in a handbasket and it's bee...

Happy Halloween!
Sunday, October 31st 2010
I've been away from CK too long. The week has been crazy and I have been struggling with everything. I hope that November starts out better than October is ending.Anyway . . . it's that day . . . Halloween. At my house that means that my husband has wowed us once again with a new halloween costume. There are so many things that I could or should write about tonight, but I just want to say goodbye to this month with a smile. I hope that these photos of my husband celebrating, as Lady...
Get Into the Groove
Thursday, October 28th 2010
Wow! It's not cool when I get out of the groove. I'm a total wreck. The past seven days have just not been good physically. I'll spare you every little detail, but here are some highlights . . .It's Halloween, so at my house that means working my behind off on a costume for the husband . . . I've been making pieces of meat out of felt and other fabrics for the better part of these past seven days. (Finished product pictures to come tomorrow, I promise.) I also had the help of my ver...
Long To-Do List . . . and this is at the top . . .
Tuesday, October 19th 2010
This morning I am going to do things backwards. I'm going to write my blog entry now. I always put it off and then it's 9PM and I'm starting to feel tired and not in the mood to spend the time on it. Wow! For someone with no job I am REALLY lazy so far this week. You'd think I'd have plenty of time to get things done and do them. Oh well . . . on to the update.Weekend Update
I had the best weekend! My husband and I took a quick road trip "down home" to the Columbus sub...
I have to write! I have to write!
Tuesday, October 12th 2010
Every day I put "update my blog" on my to do list and every day I put it until last after checking in to the CK forums, reading my favorite blogs here on CK, checking into Facebook and all the work stuff - e-mail, etc. - that I should just be leaving alone since I'm on medical leave.Well, now it's Tuesday night and I must write! So much has been going on and I am trying to stay mostly sane through it, but it's a little tough.
Surgery Follow-Up
As of yesterday's follow-u...
I can't believe I ate the whole thing!
Monday, October 4th 2010
It feels like the first real day back since my surgery. I actually ate some real food today and man am I STUFFED! If you look at my diary you'll crack up when you see what I'm stuffed with . . . hardly anything. Today was still slimfast, scrambled eggs and pureed chicken broccoli casserole. Didn't log everything in the casserole since it was only 4 tablespoons of cheesy chicken broccoli goo . . . mostly logging to make sure I get in all my protein. Need to have at least 60 grams daily.
