I was sent an email asking me this question. (Unfortunately I could not get a reply to go back to the person asking this, so hopefully she will read this post.) I would absolutely go through all of this over again. I've lost and kept off 100 lbs....

Wow! I didn't realize how long it had been since I blogged. Life kind of got in the way of things, and i let the computer stuff slide. The big news is that I now weigh less than 200 lbs. In fact I weigh 175 - just 5 pounds away from my first goal...

Well, here's something weird (but very, very nice!) In the past week I had 4 separate people ask me if I am losing weight. YAY! It has gotten to the point where it is noticeable! The weird part is, though, I'm still stuck at that 112 number on...

Whooops! I let a month go by with no blog - sorry! This past month has been insane. Unfortunately there is not much to report. Plateau...it is such a pretty word. Plateauuuuuu, it just kind of rolls off the tongue. Plateau - makes you think of rolling...

Before you panic - no it isn't the Swine Flu (much as people like to make fun of us overweight folk). My enitre family is down with the flu; me, my husband, daughter (she's been out of school for an entire week, and my youngest son.) OK - not...

Hey Guys! I bet y'all thought I would disappear for months again at a time; well Surprise! Here I am! I told you I was going to try to do this again, that means being accountable - and this is one of the best ways to do it. I'm not totally there,...

I have been sent an angel, and her name is Mary (rather appropriate, huh?) She is one of the editors on BellaOnline.com with me and she has also gone through gastric bypass. Except she has done tremendously well and has fantastic advice. We e-mailed back...

I have been getting so many emails asking me how I am doing and what my progress is, probably because I have not been posting. (You think? Duh.) But it has really surprised me how many people want to know about me. I told y'all I would keep you informed,...

Oh boy - have I been putting off writing this post. Let's see my last post was in July of '07, it is now March of '09 - huh, can you say "procrastination?" A very large part of it is shame, and another large part of it is that I...

Wow! I did not realize how long it has been since I posted... My weight is about the same as I posted last time. Not because I didn't lose anymore weight, but because I have gained some back! This is the biggest reason why I haven't been posting,...

Sorry for the long gap in time, but many other pressing issues came up, not the least of which were medical in nature... But, back to the topic at hand… I finally managed to get the financing for the public IPv6 address space taken care of at work...

I mentioned that the TR hub in my network had a story behind it... Well, here it is. My network is made up of castoffs and other people's junk, so I don't have the most up-to-date hardware to run things on (like the TR hub :). Well I was trying to install...

I created two presentations for work. I've included an edited version of them here... A technical overview and a short management presentation . Feel free to peruse them....

Haven't posted for a while, been busy with other more pressing issues... I finally had a bit of time to figure out one of the little niggling details that I wasn't able to get around to earlier on. PTR records for v6. Unfortunately, PTR records are a...

I set up a remote connection over a IPv4 VPN connection to a remote lab. It took quite a bit of tinkering to get things to work correctly, so I figured I'd share the effort in case somebody else tries to do it. I have a connection with my work lab set...

I have a fairly extensive lab that I built to help me simulate a small business environment. I've rebuilt it so many times that I don't even remember the count. The network lately has been, more or less, stable as far as the systems themselves go, but...

I've known about IPv6 in the back of my mind for quite some time. Every now and again I'd go out and take a look at the various sites and blogs to get an idea of where v6 stood in the world of IT, but I never spent much energy on it. Lately, I've been...

As I said in my las post, someone who had been reading my blog wrote to tell me of her sister who passed away due to complications from surgery. I wanted to share this with you all, so that everyone understands it does not always go perfectly. One thing...

Well, I didn't realize it had been this long since I had posted. Sorry to all of you who had been trying to follow along. We have had some major family issues come up, and blogging just hasn't found its way into my schedule lately. Well, first off - I...

Took a brief moment to upload some pictures... have to finish filing the taxes, and oh, yeah, I think I have a few minutes left for some sleep before I have to go to work tomorrow. Enough grumbling, though. I am thankful for my Lord sacrificing himself...

I love seafood, which would normally be a good thing - because it is one of the proteins I can eat right now. So Friday I got a small piece of salmon, marinated it and sautéed it up; trying to keep it very moist. Even though it was a small piece, I was...

Woo-hoo! I went for my 1 week post-op visit on Friday (should've posted then; sorry.) Dr. Richard cleared me for starting on soft solid foods; scrambles eggs, cottage cheese, very well chopped chicken or tuna salad, etc. Which is very good for me, because...

I am beginning to wonder about all those other people's blogs I read that just had tremendous amounts of energy as soon as they got home from the hospital; cause it ain't happenin' here! It's nothing major, but I just haven't felt real great. I should...

Well, it didn''t take me long to make my fist mistake. i actually did it while I was wrting the "I'm Home" blog earlier. One of the major rules of "eating" post surgery, is that you should never eat (or drink your protein supplement) while doing something...

I got to come home this morning. And I swear, having the drain pulled out of me was the worst experience of the whole surgery. It took everything I had not to throw up. It's not that it hurt tremendously (although it didn't feel good) but it felt like...
