I do oatmeal every now and then cuz we do need the fiber - but I will tell you about 11:30 every morning I am starving - but hell that's normal - do you eat before you leave for school - you can't eat at your desk during class can you.. See I eat bf at my desk - alot of mornings I'm not hungry when I leave the house - but I always have something to eat sometime a fiber1 bar or a bt bar.. Candice OMG 4 transfusion - she's in my prayers.. Was thinking about her today.. I got yarn to crochet Joseph a blanket for his bday - so I have a project ;0)

Linda - Give me his address please- Great letter - I will have you guys proof mine - cuz I'm terrible at it.. Laura - I really won't know if the vertigo is gone till I stop taking the pills - think I might not take them tonite I am starting a project - going to crochet my DS a blanket for his 40th bday - I made one for each of my GK's so thought my DS should have one too.. I have been in the mood to do something Peaches wants me to quilt - but that's just to much math for me LOL

Good Morning Gang Drive by cuz I'm at work.. Taking meds at nite for vertigo and it's hard to wake up ;0) Melissa Hugs - I agree w/the rest - You just gotta pull up those bootstraps and move forward - 1 day at a time - maybe this is your rock bottom and you will start making the changes needed to get healthy - You are in control of the foods you eat and the exercise you get - so work on those things.. Linda - Totally agree about Dr Oz - I don't think they would let us on t.v. - mostly because we would say yep the band helps - but it's really up to you to do the work and I think that they want to advertize that the band is the reason for the weight loss - cuz they sure don't put enough emphasiziam on eating healthy and exercise -- Yep let camera follow you and me around all day - see the foods we eat - the exercise we do.. Maybe this weekend I will write that letter Charlene - Yep I liked Jodi's doc too and the lady who said pple only 30 lbs overweight shouldn't get banded - I really think it's all about the lobbyist who are paying these pple to pass this.. You gotta change how you eat - it's not just about portion control... Well like I said - at work and dont gotta get to it Hugs & Prayers for everyone !!!

Good Morning Peeps I have seen post from Phyl on facebook - I know that she can't put her phone down - she's on it 24/7 LOL - so I guess they must have some free wi-fi somewhere.. When everyone was here we were going to do an intervention with her and her phone LOL Weather here has been nice cooler today 74 - with bad winds tomorrow and rain on Friday..

Good Morning Peeps Candice thanks for the update on Linda - Prayers for a speedy recovery ... Not much to report - dinner chicken - fell asleep on couch - then moved to bed ;0)...

Good Morning Gang... Linda Hugs & Prayers for you and your family !!! Charlene - I thought Dr Oz sucked on his lapband presentation - I will be writing letter today... The girl 6 month out eating Soup - and 4 - 5 teaspoons of yogurt & pudding - where was her Protein - where was her nutrition.. You can't tell me the other girl who did have a little protein in her diet only ate that much food and was still on the heavy side - IMHO they weren't really telling the whole story - the girl who was 6 months out was too tight if she can't eat real food. They did speak a little bit about tool - but not enough on eating around it - being able to eat real food and adding exercise... Angie - Hugs on your struggles - I am banded have not converted - I don't have a need to - I have lost 114 lbs and maintained that loss.. Sugar is most of our problems - Try keeping a food diary - write down what you eat and what your calories are and include your exercise - limit real treats to once a month. Losing weight is simple math - calories in vs calories burned. Have you ck'd w/doc on your thyroid Laura - Hugs & Prayers on your Dad -I know how tough this is.... Great - Hugs & Prayers on the loss of your Uncle... Well another day of work - then to the Attonery to sign more papers hopefully this thing is almost over

Well not much to report - gym - and that's it gotta go feed the dogs.. Nothing exciting to report...

Marcowski (sp) he has cell phone pockets on the back of the purse - So I can always fine my phone Linda Idrise says that after you maintain your weight loss that your body gets to set weight and you really have to go over board to gain it back - so you are like me - can go on vacation - have a few treats and be ok - but the most important part is that we come back home and get back on track with our healthy eating and exercise - I am going to have to give up pilo for a while due to the vertigo - guess tread mill will be my new/old extra workout - but yesterday and this morning my shins are aching - Well I won't be doing any exercise till Monday - missed leg workout last night due to this stupid vertigo - didn't get home til 5 and wasn't feeling up to it..

Good Morning Peeps.. Drive by - I'm at work - never got here this morning ... Stayed up too late last night 11 p.m. - watching Idol then voting :0) - voted for 4 - Scotty, Casey, Pia, Haley - My fav 4 - I like James too - Paul and Tia can go - Like Jacob too but can't stand to watch him perform - Stefano - I like him too but not as an Idol ;0) Karla - only one kid called wtf - you know Joseph didn't call me on Mothers Day one yr - well he didn't get a call or anything for his birthday - if you can't at least call and leave a message - then I guess I don't have a son - it killed me that yr on his bday - but I'll be damn - I wasn't going to acknowledge him if he didn't acknowledge me as his Mother.. Shame on them... Well Phyl by tomorrow at this time you will be leaving for Cabo - are you flying out of PS or Ontario??

Good Morning Gang... Linda - I sure hope I don't have to live with this veritgo - today seems like a good day so far ;0) = have you heard about the spinning treatment for vertigo - they spin you around trying to get the crystals in the interear to go back into place - I sorta did that my self in bed the other night - I hung my head upside down in bed and kept moving it in the direction that made me sping - since I was in bed I was safe from falling - I sure enjoyed my treadmil and music - maybe time for a change up in my routine - 138 maybe your happy weight.. Truly after I got to my goal of 145 - I didn't try to lose anymore weight - I just kept eating healthty and exercise and that's how I have lost the 0ther 11 lbsthink this is my body's happy weight. As you all know I allow for treats - but not every single day - Yes I have sweets everyday but they are sf treats - Charlene - You are our trooper :0) you keep plugging along... You just have to find a combination of foods and exercise for you - since you know your resting metabolisim then you know how many calories you have to eat to lose the weight - so keep counting and budget them as you need to.. Krista - I promise you if you just keep eating healthy and exercising the weight will come off - do you count calories?? Very important imho Well not much to report - Watched Idol and voted for my fav 4 - will see who goes tonite - hate to lose 2 .. CBL

Good Evening Gang On the Sleeve issue - I know pple who had their band removed and the sleeve done at the same time - note that this is with no band complications.. Sleeve they cut most of your stomach out and sew it up - sorta like stomach stapeling - but instead of staples they cut away the stomach - DIL doc said that for her and the amount of weight she has to lose it would be better - Yep you still have to eat healthy and exercise - just like with any wsl - but it's not like bypass where you lose do to the malabsorbtion - w/the sleeve you don't have the whole maintaince issues - fills - unfills - finding that sweet spot - 3 pple were Wasa - Little Ms Diva - OregonDaisy - and all are doing well - all went to Mexico and had it done Dr Acevas (sp) I am happy that DIL is finally sick and tired of being Obese - She's alot like me - so I think she will do fine - some girl in the seminar said - oh if I am going to have flabby skin then I don't want the surgery DIL said the same thing I would have said.. She want's to do things w/Brooke like go to Magic Mtn - and ride the rides -you all know the things that you can't do cuz you are obese - Yep my DS has weight issues too but for me it's better than doing drugs ;0) - if I have to deal w/issue w/him I would rather have it be food than drugs.. But he has lost 22 lbs since January.. So he's making some changes and as you all know my Brooke is my biggest concern and hopefully that will change too.. Felt pretty good today - no dizziness - since I have barely exercised for the last 2 week - hell I've only exercise once in the 2 prior weeks - Had gym Monday - but didn't go to bootcamp last night cuz of the dizzy issues and it's to much up and do - so today I went and did the treadmill.. I have been on a treadmill since last June 10 - I was really proud of myself 404 cal burned in 50 minutes and I was ok and not dieing :0) Well the phone keeps rining - have had 2 calls since I started and now it's ringing again - Will cbl

Happy Birthday Karla !!!!! :wub: :wub: :wub: :wub: Sorry is hasn't been a good day with that sad news.... Are any of your Kids coming over - Are you going to make yourself a nice dinner or go out ... Brief outline of last nights post Karri Hugs I thought 3/25 was a surgery date.. Well at least you can have some food for dinner and you aren't having to live totally on liquids.. Hugs... Linda -WTG on shopping... Do you have Surgery date yet.. Phyl - Yep I love my house to myself - I love doing as I please - I have never had to report or explain what I spent my $$$ on - So at this age don't think I could or would ever be able to.. Only a couple days till Cabo -Enjoy.. Candice - Glad Peter liked your clothes ;0) and that you are back on track ;0) Karla - Once the baby is born you will feel so much love for it - it will get better.. Didn't go to bootcamp last night due to the whole bending up and down - so tonite I went and walked the treadmill - haven't done that in almost 1 yr - I haven't been doing treadmill since I started boot camp 6/10 Well thought I would be super out of shape on it - well did 50 minutes burned 404 calories - had it on 6 incline @ 4 mph and then had it on 12 @ 3.5 mph - then 21 incline at 2.5 mph - and I am alive .. Came home loaded dishwasher - vacuumed 3 rooms and started a load of wash... Now gotta go feed the dogs ;0) - Tonite is Idol... ;0) cbl I posted last night - don't know what happen to it - hit add post then next thing I saw was that site was down - so I guess my Early Bday Wishes - weren't seen...

Good Morning Peeps.. Charlene - you just have to limit carbs and count calories since you know what your resting metabolizim is - I really do find that the sf foods satistfy my sweet tooth. Mine shows up at nite time.. Last night I had 2 sf puddings (dark choc). you and dh have had surgery - you both should be eating very healthy... Just set your mind to it - for 2 weeks don't allow any extra treats to kick the sweet tooth... I allow real sugar about every 2 - 3 weeks - but that's it.. On vacation I eat what I want - had great bisucuts and gravy on vacation - but that's it - I don't eat that way at home.. Starches make you retain Water - exercise and eat healthy you will do it.. Yes I am glad DIL getting sleeve - concerned about cutting the stomach away - a lot more invasive than our bad - but she has about about 150 to lose and she will need the panni surgery afterwards... She's alot like me - so I think she will be alot like me once she has the surgey LOL the reformed food addict LOL she said some girl in the seminar said she rather keep the fat than have saggy skin - DIL has listend to me enough - she said the girl was stupid - I said yes the fat is killing you the skin issues won't LOL here Doc suggested it - it has a 70% success rate where as band has 50% - so she's going for it.. I know that some are super sensative to starches/sugars - but not everyone is and I couldn't live w/o some starches - so I just limit them... Plan Plan Plan... It works Linda - My babies are happy in the a.m and when I get home from work - Head feels pretty good this a.m. knock wood plan today is walking on treadmill after work - Haven't done it in months - I bet it's going to kill me LOL - just don't think the up and down of boot camp is going to cut it right not w/vertigo issues. April 1 our insurance changes Apples - a lot more insurance companies covering the sleeve - normal bmi - well Mexico is the place to go - if you ever visit the sleeve site you will see how many banders have converted and are doing very well. FIL needs to stay w/someone and he should make the decision - OMG it's tough to get old.. Well sleep well no vertigo this a.m ;0) Krista - the weight loss is going to slow - so don't be concermed... You are doing great - Suppose to be 91 today !!!! Capris and sandals ..

Hey Gang... Sandy Great news getting off your meds !!! Cheri - Hugs on the DH issues.. Again reason I am single - only have to deal w/3 dogs and a cat ;o0) Don't have ipad - mini computer like a laptop - it does all the same things except it doesn't have a disk drive.. I know Phyl has laptop - iphone - now Ipad - that's just being to connected for me.. As it is I am feeling that the computer is just taking up too much of my time .. Charlene - Girl - quit dieting please please please - I know you all were talking about some diet book a few weeks ago ... DIETS DON'T WORK... Eating healthy does - I really beleive if you deny yourself the things you like then you are dieting - I like sweets - I subsitute real stuf w/sf stuff - I like Starches - again I eat then but only once a day - I don't deprive myself - I just ask myself before I eat is it heatlhy or not - I made ck Soup on Sunday - omg it had so much fat - and this is coming from a chick who LOVES fat - but you know what my taste has changed - I had to skim it off - it was just way too greasy.. Plan you meals- sit down tonite - plan a weeks menu and allow for bday parties or what ever you got going on - give yourself a calorie budget - and keep to that budget - follow lbt rules pt 1st then veggies .. Quit saying that you aren't going to eat carbs cuz you know that only last about 1 hr - then you are reporting - I'm off the wagon... Going off the wagon is eating a bowl of mashed potatoes for bf - lunch and dinner and toping it off with 1/2 gallon of ice cream and 2 liter of coke or pespi.. You gotta exercise your gray matter too... I still plan my meals for the most part - meat & veggies for dinner 99.9% - left overs for lunch or a green salad & pt for lunch - Breakfast - some kind of Protein for the most part - sometimes a starch - yogurt & berries too.. and almost every nite either a bag of 100 cal popcorn - 1 cup sf ice cream - or sf pudding Right now I am bbqing steak - steaming cauliflower - even snacking on a piece w/yogurt ranch dressing - craving it not bread not cheese - if you would just get in the habit of eating healthy the you won't crave the junk so much - hell when my #7 where here we ate out a couple of time - and a couple of nights we ate ravolies w/chicken but I can tell you by Friday I was so ready for my normal dinners - the food that I eat regularally - Girl you can freaking do this - quit looking for some quick fix - it all about what you eat # of caloires and what you burn - so if you want to get healthy - then you can't eat your cake & ice cream too - one or the other not both and only occassionally.. You will live - life doens't elvove around - it revolves around the pple in our lives... Melissa - Hugs on the insurance issues - sure wish we could be of some help.. Julie - Just picked up my taxes today ;0) Great- Glad you like the hairdresser.. Linda - I have never had veritgo before - so this is a new thing for me - this morning I was dizzy - but as the day progressed it went a way - in bed last night if I turn a certain way - the room spins - I just am not turning my head upside down to blow dry my hair ;0) - I will be glad when it's gone... Apple - Girl I'll take my 3 -4 months of heat over all that snow and cold weather anyday.. Hell even when it's 120 i'm not in the house for 3 solid days.. Well time to feed my doggies and bbq my steak Food today - BF Jerky & Egg salad - Lunch Fish & veggies - Dinner Steak & Veggie - Snack - ??? popcorn - sf pudding?? Will just depend on what I want then - CBL BTW my DIL is going w/sleeve - it's covered by her insurance - hopefully in May or June she'll have the surgery...
