I wont buy candy until the day of. Sweets are my very best satanic addiction. If I have one I will have 101.

Sorry to hear about your friend. That is sad. Good for you getting back on track. Mother Nature was mean to you, bad girl! Good luck with your run. Just remember it doesn't matter where you come in, as long as you finish you will be a successful runner!

I never thought I would hee of another that did not like fast food! I not a fan either but I LOVE BREAD all BREADS! And not a chocalate fan unless it come in the form of chocalate cake !

Not seeing the endocrinologist until December is BS! Have your PCP call and say it is an emergency. When my doctor does it, the appointment is usually the next day. You can't fool around with sugar. You're doing great with your band diet. Not too many people are perfect, 100% of the time.

Thank you!! That was a good read and the exercise ideas are great.

Well you look super and seem to be doing well, so believe the clothes! If I eat ANY sugar, it sets me up... so I don't!

I am right there with you. I have all my stuff submitted and am awaiting a decision.These last few months have taught me how to eat better and have gotten me motivated to start working out, so I am on my way regardless. But I am so frustrated not knowing. You are not alone!

I thought the information was presented well and I like your humor! The shaker sound did garble your presentation a few times but otherwise kudos to you!

Oh ya....I can totally relate with you about the whole food addiction. As my surgeons office told me from the very beginning, this is a tool that they are giving us. We still have to make the changes and make them for life. I know this first handed that this is a struggle. I still struggle with my "head hunger". I am not physically hungry but my head tells me that I wans "something" to eat. As I said, this is a daily struggle for me. I have twenty pound to go till goal but have been at my current weight for about four months. It is up to be to kick it in high gear again to start loosing. I have read on this sight that some people will do the five day clear liquids (like we did to get ready for the surgery) to kind of kick start it again. I have been considering doing this. Also, up until this point I have not been doing a regular exercise program just kind of sporadic when I could find the time. I owe it to myself to make the time. I agree with you about being comfortable in my fat. I don't like to be in the spotlight and get embarrassed if too much is said about my looks and progress.. This is something that will lessen though as people get used to our smaller size. Good luck friend. We both can do this. Anything that is worth doing is not easy and quick.

yes its a big price to being on the other side of all the appts and copays and deductibles.... best of luck andspeedy recovery to you and tinarho... Mysurgery is scheduled for 12/28/12.... i cant believe im almost there:)
