Thanks. I just hope things get better...we have been looking to buy a house now for about 2 yrs and we found the perfect one and they are willing to go down on it and its such a great deal but with the surgery expenses coming up and work being slow its so hard....its hard to pass up this great deal but at the same time idk how we would pay for it... so im a little sad.

Thanks everyone for the support. He just found out the other day that quite a few people are being let go but he's not one of them. Thank god! Their work will continue to be slow for the next 2 or 3 months probably but its better than being let go for good. I just keep telling him to hang in there and be happy he has a job because alot of people don't. I just gotta keep praying. Sent from my Verizon DROID3 using RNYTalk

I am also 22 and I don't have as many health problems but do suffer from extreme ibs and anxiety. I've been waiting to meet someone on here my age lol. Not many people are age have this surgery done. I should be having mine in September I believe. I am happy with the decision I have made but I think alot of my friends are more worried about the fact tnat I can't drink anymore...im not a huge partier because I have a 4 yr old daughter but most of my friends are into the partying and drinking. Good luck! And remember this surgery is for u, don't let anyone alter ur decision or make u change ur mind. Im here if u ever wanna chat. Sent from my Verizon DROID3 using RNYTalk

DLCoggin- thanks for all the advice...I actually can't even stand the smell of coffee...my husband actually just made some today and it about made me throw up lol. I drink aton of Water though but that gets soo boring so I try to put the crytal lite packets in some of my waters. Sent from my Verizon DROID3 using RNYTalk

I had an appointment today and found out I passed my nicotine test! Im done smoking but was a little concerned about the one cigarette that I smoked on saint pattys Day. However I do still have to do 3 more months of nicotine tests because its so easy to fall back into. The good news I did receive is that all my blood work came back great! My colesteral (sp) is good, my blood sugar was a tad bit high but nothing to be to concerned about and my Vitamin levels were all good accept I need a tiny bit more Vitamin D. They told me I am a great candidate for this surgery because I am young and have no health issues. I take a Water pill and that is all. I am so glad to hear this. I found out I can skip the sleep study and any special clearances because of not having any health issues so they are thinking my surgery date can be moved back up a couple months....not sure until we get closer to august. But im choosing to be optimistic. I've been getting 3 to 4 appointments done in one day so I can move things along. Anyways, I just wanted to share that with everyone! Todays appointment definitely got me motivated again. I went home and decided to go walk a couple miles with my mom and daughter! Have a good night everyone!

This is my first time ever eating greek yogurt and im eating the chobani low fat strawberry bannana one. I decided to switch to these because of the Protein. I just opened it up...can someone tell me ..is it suppose to have brown stuff in the bottom of it and seem kind of thick and cream cheesy? I asked one of my employees that eats really healthy and he said he thought it was fruit but im scared to eat it lol. If someone knows out there what it should look like and let me know that'd be great! Sent from my Verizon DROID3 using RNYTalk

To the yogurt? I haven't bought any Protein powder yet bc im not sure what to buy...and does a Protein shake count as a meal? Can anyone reccomend some brands and flavors that I could get at like walmart? Sent from my Verizon DROID3 using RNYTalk

Yeah the thickness of the greek yogurt kind of grossed me out but definitely filled me up. I heard from alot of people your taste buds seem to change after the surgery so maybe some things I like now I wont like and vice versa. But the strawberry bannana wasn't that bad. I love yoplait yogurt but it doesn't have enough Protein in it to make it worth while I think. Sent from my Verizon DROID3 using RNYTalk

DLCoggin- thank you! the only difference that I've have noticed in quiting smoking and weight loss is when I quit smoking I just kept telling myself go one more day without it and it'll get easier everyday. It almost was like to prove to my family that I could go another day. But with weight loss u can't just give up food for good ...u have to eat it to survive. With the ciggerettes I could give them up forever and not have a problem. So that's where I run into issues. My biggest problem with weight loss lately I think is that I've gained so much weight over the past few years that I've given up ...I feel like I just keep telling myself ur fat already so why not eat one more cookie. I hate that mentality it sucks. I gained 15 pounds after quiting smoking 3 months ago. That also made my confidence go down. Sent from my Verizon DROID3 using RNYTalk

Lynn- good luck! Yeah I try to stay busy too because if im just sitting around I get bored and want to eat. The worst time of day for me is at night. I don't get out of work till 6 then go to the gym till 7 or 7:30 so I don't even eat dinner until like 8 or 9 by the time I get my daughter laid down and stuff....but I am always really bored and just watching tv at night so that's the hardest time. I feel like im always craving stuff...like sweets. Sent from my Verizon DROID3 using RNYTalk

John- idk about that lol I was in chicago on a bussiness trip for 3 days and that was enough for me lol. I think a trip to ny would be fun but not to live in. Way to busy for me. I love being able to go outside and take a walk and not be bothered by noise or alot of traffic. I live in a pretty small town and practically the entire town knows me. Lol. Lynn- that's good that you quit! So ur having ur surgery may 31st? Sent from my Verizon DROID3 using RNYTalk

No I live in michigan....ny no way! Lol haha I couldn't handle the big city life lol. Sent from my Verizon DROID3 using RNYTalk

Yeah I haven't tried the cottage cheese yet...just looking at it grosses me out lol Sent from my Verizon DROID3 using RNYTalk

Oh awesome! Goodluck with everything! Sent from my Verizon DROID3 using RNYTalk

Lol same here! Im a really picky eater and also weird when it comes to bad food. I wont even drink milk 1 day past the expiration date lol. Yeah I just switched from yoplait to chobani ...def. a difference. Sent from my Verizon DROID3 using RNYTalk

Mamiof3kids- message me anytime! Im a talker! Lol im a salesperson, I get paid to talk haha! Even if its just about daily life I could use some more friends...not that I don't have any but im 22 and have a 4 yr old...alot of my friends don't have kids and went off to college and party so I don't hangout with people much besides my sister and mom lol. Sent from my Verizon DROID3 using RNYTalk

John- that's good that u quit smoking ciggerettes ...do u still smoke cigars even after surgery? Or have u not had ur surgery yet? Sent from my Verizon DROID3 using RNYTalk

I thought about getting him on chantix but I heard it can cause depression and mood swings. But maybe ill look into it a little bit more. Sent from my Verizon DROID3 using RNYTalk

Yeah I agree! I've went on walks with the girl before and it kind of makes me mad bc I don't want my daughter around it...its frustrating. Right now im sick with a chest cold and it has been hard to breathe and it kind of reminds me of when I was a smoker and it sucks...I feel like s***! And don't ever wanna feel like that again. Mu husband has been on the patch for 3 months but has cheated a few times ...I just hope he can stick with it and stay quit for good. He's almost 25 and has been smoking since he was 14 or 15.

Yeah I am so glad im done! I never felt good when I did it...it did feel like I relieved stress at the times I was doing it but my lungs hurt and I couldn't workout as much because I would get so out of breath and it hurt my chest. My 4 year old asks me all the time mommy do u still smoke? And I reassure her everyday that I don't anymore. I hdave a friend that takes her child on walks and smokes right there in front of the kid and it drives me nuts. I never smoked around my daughter...I always smoked outside and if she was out there I wouldn't do it. We even shut the shades so she wouldn't see us doing it.
