  1. Happy 35th Birthday buggy22_us!

  2. I am here in Colorado Springs and looking for a buddy to talk to and maybe work with! Six months ago I made the step to get some help and so far I am down 35lbs and 20 inches,,, but somewhere along the line I have lost my motivation... I still have the heart and the want for it but the motivation seemed to have slipped! Is there anyone here to seems to have the same problem? If so, lets solve this problem together!! I am an engaged mother of 2 boys looking for anyone who seems to have the same issues I am dealing with!

    Me & my kids!

  6. THings went well and since surgery I am down 10.75 inches and 26.8 lbs in 3 months... They say I am doing good but I still feel like I should be further along!!

  7. I get my measurements tomorrow and update the psych and nutritionist as well!! Should get good news, but am terrified to find out that my inches might be less than the weight loss....ugh!

    negative feedback

    You should be proud of the decision you have made for your health and not let some muscle head give you a hard time for it! If we were all meant to look like them, the doctors would be out of business and so would they! You are doing it for all of the right reasons... you & your life!! When you decided to look for a trainer they, I'm sure, were all too happy to want to "help" you out, but look at the amount of $$ you were giving them! When in reality we can do just as good a job on our own and save the money instead of giving it to someone else (or someone we think we want to look like)! I say talk to a manager and remember the routines you have done with him! If you can do them on your own at home... then kudos to you! And congrats on the decision!!
  9. I had my surgery in January of 2011 with Dr. Metz (and I drove up there from the Springs) and it was the best decision I could have ever made in my life! He is accepting, understanding and considerate! The office staff is just as wonderful as well and I will be eternally grateful to him for the help he has given me! Talk about a God send at the right time!!
  10. Your Dr. will automatically give you a RX for nausea but you can also ask for a patch that they will put just behind your ear, and will last for up to 3 days. I didn't have too many problems with that, except for when I get things stuck (I am still learning what I can and can't eat that won't cause problems) but the patch works wonders! Just ask them about it when you are getting set up and checked in at surgery and you should be fine! It's a nausea patch but I can't remember the exact name! Good Luck!!

    Bathroom Problems

    I am so thankful that this subject was brought up! I have had the most horrible time trying to go and it's just not happening. Bleeding and crying should not be part of that routine. I have gotten several ideas and like others fiber pills and mixes just dont seem to cut it for me. I have also started looking into colon hydrotherapy, but no decisions at the moment. From reading all the comments I have other solutions to try before I shell out money for someone else to help me... Thanks everyone!

    Any banded folks do the 'couch to 5k' program?

    Just like a baby... you have to stand before u walk and walk before you can run! Take it one step at a time and you will succeed! Good Luck and keep us posted!
