No game

Ok slow loser here!!! And I have had those moments too! The worst pity party I had was 6 weeks after surgery and being at Disneyland with my family, do you have any idea how much good food was there!! One day I almost lost it as my husband and kids were pigging out on something. .. I was hungry and cranky but damn if I didn't feel better after I drank my protein shake 0_o It gets easier. Now if my weight were moving even slower it would be going backwards! But it's not slowly its going the right direction. And the hunger thing get easier too. This weekend I went to a dinner party and well it was fun and not about the food for me for once. I just ate a little salmon and was fine! And it gave me more time to work the room and bug everyone while they were eating cake!

Ok I know this sounds weird but my son love it! I get frozen mango from trader joes A little skim milk And 1 banana Take about a cup of the mango And banana put in the food processor And add a little milk blend it all and eat!'

No! You my dear are a very pretty woman!! ( don't get any ideas though I'm not a lesbian)

There is another thread here about blue cross that a woman just posted and it makes sense that they give different contracts with different employers.. My husband works for California emergency physician. C.E.P . And works in the ER at El Camino hospital. So I think it might have been easier covered by our plan

I thought you were a very ugly woman!! 0_o

I have anthem blue cross in California I didn't have to wait at all. my first doctors appointment/ consultation was in mid September we submitted the paperwork after 1 NUT appt. and 1 psych appt. and had surgery on 11-13-12. O_o

Hi,I sent you a private message I got a copy of that book that I want to send to your nook!

Ok I told myself I would never post to this site again ( long story) But your post really got to me. Sounds like we had surgery about the same time.. This is a hard journey mentally, I have been able to eat my whole life past the point of full . Eat wait awhile till it doesn't hurt eat some more. this surgery doesn't really fix that does it? I talk to a couple of girls that I met in the hospital having the same surgery. Yesterday one of them called me and we laughed and talked about how she just got back from the movies and ate nachos and ice cream and it was easy! Darn that you only feel restriction from proteins !! I mean eating chicken and fish cooked healthy didn't get me here! That being said I know the struggle. I read a book and still read it, its called " Anatomy of a food addiction" and wow did it hit home!! There is some technical stuff in there that boggled my mine a bit but that book made me look at my problem differently and instead of hating myself I found a way to care about me and understand why I was doing what I was doing... If by chance you have a "Nook" I could lend it to you. But if you don't they sell it on Amazon.

Another thread I'm about to leave because its become about Iggy again she came on her once and no one replied to her negativity and she went away... Then her people came on with a dig here and a dig there why?? This has nothing to do with this thread! But once again she has taken center stage Oh and by the way I feel you frank on the protein shakes but give it time. I went from wanting anything but those soon after surgery to drinking them now because nothing is really "fun" to eat anymore so at least they are easy

Oh and yes I got tired at the end of each day! The park opened up at 8 and closed at 12 am! We would go in the morning leave in the late after noon, rest at the hotel eat dinner and then go back after and stay till closing.

I went to Disneyland over Christmas I was sleeved on 11-13-12 so pretty new still... We had a great time! But there are no good food choices there!! I brought my own shakes and food and we rented a locker. I only had one meltdown while the kids and husband ate 0_o But as soon as I started drinking a protein shake a calmed down.

I think I love you! And I'm wishing you both the best

And no I haven't been drinking!! I should really proof read these things before I send them out

that makes me sad! There are a lot of here that are doing great. I had my sleeve on 11-13-12 and besides fighting occasional head hunger. It been a great experience!

Bravo Frank!! And I feel the same way about some people here

Haha I was sleeved on the 13th!! I think I should eat something cause I'm getting stupid !!

Ok here I am !! Home with the kids. My husband is a PA and working in the ER tonight so I will be partying with a 10 and 16 year old O_o. I was sleeved on the 11th. I feel pretty good most days. Funny some days I have to force myself to eat ( and drink) other days I feel like I want to go crazy and eat everything in sight!! My weight loss is slow but it's going in the right direction. I went shopping for a little while today and bought two things from the regular department not the big girls department so that was nice !!

I remember when checking into the hospital looking at my paper work and seeing " morbidly obese" my doctor had been trying to get me to eat right for years.. As far as I'm concerned common sense has nothing to do with it. Where was your common sense when you were chowing down on a KFC drumstick! We were killing ourselves with EVERY BITE we took..

The best part is when I opened the front door and she has a half eaten cookie hanging out of her mouth while trying not to spill the rest of the tray!!

Personally I think your dammed if you do and your dammed if you don't!! I told my mom and she insisted on coming down and helping.. More like driving me crazy! oh and she showed up at my front door the day of the surgery with tons of food including a big tray of cookies! And I didn't tell my mother in law. And when she found out she was pissed! Now that I have it done they all drive me crazy by asking me daily " how much have you lost now?" And staring at me up and down when they see me! Moral of story... Do what you need to do and never mind the wack-a-doodles !

Funny it doesn't surprise me that people are looking to some how to justify "cheating" . We all know our doctors orders and yes they do vary A LOT!!! It's up to the individual to adhere to those instructions or not.. But I get it. We are getting this surgery because we haven't had long term success with other methods of weight loss. For those of you waiting for surgery it might be very easy to say " well you must be a weak person or a fool if you can't follow your doctors diet" I would like to ask what brings you here to this point of needing WLS... That being said, I follow what I'm supposed to do because I really want to do the right thing now. BUT I have my struggles with it some days. Does that make me weak or reckless? I really tried not to jump in on this one but oh well You all can have at me now
