difa

the husband is the head of the household? In my home My wife and I are both jointly head of the house.

So this past weekend I ate real healthy and I gained two lbs by tuesday morning. After a bad tuesday i ate bad tuesday night and this morning i woke up to having lost the weight gained and also having lost another two pounds. I dont fet it!

Now you can say "Mannnn you got this! or DOOOOOOD you got this! "

I should put on my profile that I'm a male. For the life of me I don't remember why I picked the name "DIFA" for here. I'm sure its an acronym.

I'm 36. Luckily I only had to have six months of weigh-ins with my primary care doctor. I didnt have to have any other testing. I did go to a nutrition class, and have some blood drawn two weeks before surgery, but thats it.

Quack quack! Wake up everyone!

Here's my addition. It bothers me when people add the letter "s" to words that don't need it and don't add the "s" when it is.

Remember folks, The author of this post is following the rules. The title of the post gives the subject away....now if they made the subject "puppies" or "free chocolate" and that was what got you to read the post and they were discussing how the use of english is poor..then ok. But they didn't so lets chillax

i had 3 small incisions in the lower belly area and then i had my port area incision.

I have a sticker on the back of my drivers license that says I have the band and goes into the restrictions if there is an emergency.

very good! I'm glad to hear that!

If you dont mind me asking, how much did you lose in six months?

Congrats. Quite the achievement.

As I approach week three of being banded I can't help but feel as if I'm feeling a little blue. I don't know why I would feel this way, I have no complaints or regrets regarding getting banded, my new diet..etc Thoughts?

I'll get my vitamin D checked out. Eating bad foods isnt an issue for myself. I'm not currently losing any weight..I'm fine with that. i wont get my first fill until July 20th. I really dont have head hunger either. I can sit next to anyone eating a greasy cheese burger and it doesnt bother me. My mood just plain sucks...I've very sad for no apparent reason. I'll check out my vitamin d levels.

I'm not blue about eating or going out. I still go out and I have no problem cutting out the sweets, the soda, the fatty foods. I'm doing good about that. It's just an overall sense of sadness/blue/depression. I've NEVER felt this way before. I wonder if its because I'm lacking something in nutrition or something. I log all my food...I'm getting all my vitamins and minerals...*shrugs*

Study: Obesity Could Lead To Depletion Of Earth’s Resources June 21, 2012 1:49 PM Share this food energy demands as an extra half a billion people living on the earth,” the study concluded. The findings were published in the BMC Public Health journal earlier this year. Research was conducted based on the theory that the body mass of a population should be factored into the amount of energy it burns, in addition to the number of people residing in a certain region. Though obesity touches all corners of the Earth, it was found that Americans were especially weighing down the planet. “If all countries had the [body mass index] distribution of the USA, the increase in human biomass of 58 million [metric tons] would be equivalent in mass to an extra 935 million people of average body mass, and have energy requirements equivalent to that of 473 million adults,” the research dictated. Data collected on the BMI and height distribution of the average adult in each country was used to calculate the total biomass resulting from a population’s size and average body mass. The percentage of those in a given country who are overweight and obese was also a factor. “Although the concept of biomass is rarely applied to the human species, the ecological implications of increasing body mass are significant and ought to be taken into account when evaluating future trends and planning for future resource challenges,” the study found. ”Tackling population fatness may be critical to world food security and ecological sustainability.”

You have my support!

*clap clap* I'm proud of you!

I'm at the start of my journey. I get my first fill on July 20th. I hope I hit my green zone by september. I'm ready to shed these pounds!
