Ms skinniness

It's frustrating when we don't know if it's real hunger, head hunger, or stomach acid. I take omeprazole in the am and it seems to be helping. Today we went to see a movie and I remember sitting there thinking about getting something to eat. I resisted and then the movie came on and I forgot all about food. I was experiencing head hunger. So when ever I find myself thinking about food, I am going to get busy doing something. Anyways, you are doing great.

I hate the smell and after taste that comes up when I take B vitamins. So I totally avoid the tablets or caplets and will only buy capsules. That works with no smell and after taste. It makes me really happy and I don't avoid taking them.

Well, you won't get to goal if you have very many trips to Las Vegas. Now it's time to get back to basics with protein, veggies, very little carbs, and mostly protein. Back to exercising and you should start losing really soon. You will lose the excess. Time to get back to work and I hope you had a wonderful trip.

So sorry you had to experience this scare of falling. Thank God your hubby was near to help you. Congrats on all your accomplishments toward scheduling the procedure, I can't wait until I see an update on your progress.

I love beef jerky. I can chew, chew, chew, and chew. It is so tasty and satisfyes my really fast.

Everyone who sees she will be so envious of you girl! They're going to wish that they were loosing weigh too. Go in with you head high and looking beautiful and energized just like that stupid pink rabbit. LOL. You kick ass and keep rockin that sleeve! You might be in a stall, but that's just your body adjusting in inches now..... you wait, the same day you put on your pants, your notice that they have gotten looser since you put them on and that's an amazing NSV.

I'm not suppose to have any caffeine either. I also think it makes us hungry. IDK LOL

I had just made the BMI requirement and was diebetic. With prediet, I lost enough weight to put me under the BMI and the surgeon's office told me I couldn't have the surgery. WTF! I was so angry until I remembered that I didn't tell them I was taking lisinopril to protect my kidney's. The PA told me it was still a no, then I made an appt with the surgeon, and she gave me the ok. I felt as if when I came in for the procedure, they were going to tell me I couldn't do it because I wasn't ft enough. So frustrating. I suggest to just loose a little, because the bottum line is $$$$. They don't turn any one away unless they absolutely have too. Good luck! Hope to hear from you soon.

Good Luck. It's a good plan to get back to basics of protein and water. Keep the carbs really really low and you will begin to melt the fat away. You can do this.....

CONGRATS! It does hurt when you get negative feedback from people that are your best friends. For me, I didn't have alot of pain. The toughest part was getting up where the incision sites were and that was because my muscle was cut into too. It didn't last too long. It wasn't what I think of pain. Just soreness. No big deal. My life right now is so much better. My blood work is excellent. Well, my LDL still needs to decrease from 102 to 100, but I still view that as miracluless! Time to enjoy life, you have a wonderful family and they need a healthy you. Your children want to play with you on the floor. They want to go exercise with you also. This is the time to embrace life and encorporate healthy life skills. CONGRATS! Can't wait to hear about your progress!

Fat? Your wearing a size 12 pants and how is that fat. You will be losing alot more inches and lbs. Yes, I struggle with cleaning out my closet also. I just took everything out of my draws and put them in a big plastic bag to donate. But, my career clothes in the closet is another story. I can't bring myself to put them in bags. I will never wear them again and I will get cuter cloths. Maybe we need a cloths funeral LOL. I will do it later today and be happy about it.

I came home from the hospital and I didn't sleep for 3 nights. I went to urgent care and had them change my Vicodin (loratab liquid) changed to Tylenol with Cod and was able to finally get some sleep. I told them at the hospital that vicodin hypes me up and they still prescribed it. I should have been a little more proactive. I had only taken l dose of the vicodin when I had gotten home due to a horrible headache. What meds are you taking? Can you call you doc's office tomorrow or go to urgent care. It is important to get our sleep for healing. Wish you luck, have a wonderful day.

So sorry about your experiences with those doc's. If this is trully what you want, then find another doc to do the surgery. This time, find a woman doc. It's still doable, and your dad will come around in due time, especially when your getting healthier and happier. Maybe you and your dad can go to therapy for a biased point of view. Best of luck and don't give up.

This all sounds so so good. I am afraid of buffet's because I think I will eat too much. I really like the ideal of tofu and absorbing the flavor's of chinese food. Or even mexican for that matter. Thank you for the ideals.

Hope you don't eat any nuts now. The nuts could get lodged in your staple line and cause all kinds of havoc. It's better to be safe than sorry. Sounds like your doing really good though. CONGRATS!

I hate this too. My friend thinks she knows everything and has told me that I don't need the surgery. LOL I'm now alot skinnier than her and all she talks about is how she eats so little. Ummm?

Alot of people after surgery struggle with getting in the full 64 oz. So do the best you can and my surgeon's office count protein drinks as liquid. Do your best!

I was told not to take any vitamins for about 2 weeks out. I was in such a fog that I didn't know that I was suppose to take my cholesterol meds. LOL I didn't miss them and my cholesterol is just fine. No harm done. I'm not saying to not take your meds, it is important to take the meds.

Vegas here you come! CONGRATS! You look absolutely stunning! Love the shoes, and yes, you are a greek GODDESS! LOL

make sure you get the low calorie kind i drink it diluted in my bottle of water the regular gatorade has alot of carbs. also they both have sodium. It helps keep me hydrate. now i use mio to help favor the water.

Ok, today I weighed myself and I weigh 162.4 lbs. So I am going down l lb at a time. I'll take it, it's better than nothing.
