I think you hit it right on the head. That heifer is scared you are going to out do her. The best revenge???? OUT DO HER!!! Most people that pick on others is just insecure of themselves. I am probably a little more outspoken than alot of people. But I would have told her to shut up and mind her own business from the get go.

Omgsh, I am only on day 2 of my liquid diet. I am sooooooo hungry. This is so hard, but I know I can do it. I saw a poster of a big steaming pizza. I wanted to lick that thing so bad. lol. I mean, heck road kill is starting to look good!!!!! I am eating 2 shakes and one soup a day. I also have some sugar free fat free pudding I nibble on some, and I hope I am not messing up but I have been putting a couple of whole wheat ritz crackers in my soup. I guess I am lucky because I only have to do a 5 day liquid diet, I have a whole new respect for those of you who have a 2 week diet. Just 4 more days, and I still wont be able to eat, but maybe I wont want to. I actually had a dream last night that at the hospital the Dr forgot I was there and went home without doing my surgery and then he wouldnt come back!!!! NIGHTMARE!!!!! well I know I can do this. I just wanted to vent to someone who wont say "your the one who wanted this"! That coming from a 13 year old, dont expect to much sympathy there. Haha. Well wish me luck my surgery is this thursday, Cant wait.

thank you.

What is lovenox????

which pre op diet are you on???

Omgsh, you have been thru the ringer. The only thing I know to remind you of at this point is you know the mechanics of eating or you wouldnt have lost all that weight. Maybe you can try to live like you have restriction. tiny bites and stop when your full. I truly pray that you get good health again soon. I will pray for you. Take care of yourself and keep us informed.

Please clarify.

I use the pure protein powder.It has 23g of protein and when made with skim milk adds another 10g protein. My dr told me to steer clear of slim fast and Adkins because it has to much sugar and to low in protein. I bought a bullet blender at Sams club, It is awsome,for single servings. The dr told me I can add fresh fruit or peanut butter (eww) to it for different flavors.

Don't for me!!!! Aug 9

I think alot of us have had to deal with negativity. Its just the nature of the beast. Some people are just envious, others ill informed. But as far as my family, when they found out I had a greater chance of a stroke due to high blood pressure, than I do from dying from the surgery, they kind of mellowed out, as for other people I could care less what they think. this is my decision not there's.

I am hot all the time, even in the winter, I hope that changes for me also.

I sit on my butt all day. enough said. hahaha

Ha Ha, I share you concerns, I work in a little office with a couple of others, I too have been thinking about the farting thing. Its kinda hard to blame it on someone else. lol. I am confident that we will figure something out, even if it means sitting on an air freshener.

I snack on cottage cheese w/tomatoes or string cheese.

He's a good guy ladies, but ya better keep your eye on him!!!!! lol

awww, I;m so sorry for you. It will get better. Just look back at all the hard times, and how you made it through it. You never think you will but you always do. It will be the same this time. It may seem like it lasts forever, but before long you will look back and say to yourself. "well I made it, dont know how but I did". So what you ate somethings you thought you shouldnt have, Its not like you do it everyday, right?? Keep your chin up and cheer up, you think better when your happy. Take care of yourself, and good luck.

That is a very good question, I hope you get alot of detailed replies.

Went to my pre op and good news!!! ( I think), I am also getting Plication. I know very little about this, so any info I could get would be really appreciated. I was not nervous before, because I felt well informed, well not so much now. I am really nervous.

My husband has had it.He said he felt better right after than he had in a long time.

my fitness pal works well, I have used lose it and it is very good also.

Thank you Carolinagirl, that helped alot.

Its been really hard for me also. What I have been doing is my fitness pal, and logging everything I eat and trying to stay in the calorie range it set for me. It has helped me quite a bit, plus you know you have to log it, so you think before you eat. That is the only thing helping me so far. will be glad for the surgery, and get this part over with. Sometimes all I eat is 2 protein shakes and soup for supper. Surprisingly I havent been that hungry and when I get hungry I just eat. Good luck and if you come up with some other good stuff let me know, ok?

omgsh, Your poor brain. lol. Husband has asked me about stuff like that.He thinks if I can loose weight before the surgery on my own, than why have surgery. I try to explain to him. I have lost a large amount of weight in the past, with the use of prescription meds. I lost about 60 pounds in a year. Well they only let me have them for a year. It was super stressful trying to fight my hunger and 30 years of bad eating habits without some "help" i.e. pills. I kept it off for 2 years and then it just crept back on. What I am trying to say is, yes you can get it off with pills and stuff, but will it stay off? For me I know it wont. At least this way I am forced to eat right. No more eating like a pig one day and starving the next, I feel like the lapband is going to force me to make new habits,and from what I have read, if I do try to eat wrong, it will probably be the last time, because of the consequences, and I am not that hard headed, I dont like it when bad things start happening. I know you have probably been racking your brains trying to decide. Just remember once it is off, you want it to stay off. If you can do that on your own, then that is wonderful, I just know I couldn't. Good luck to you and let us know.
