  1. Thank you ladies for the kick in the caboos. I miss you guys Ali and Oatmeal girl. LOL I will get back to walking tomorrow :rolleyes: I'm off from work and hopefully I will find someone to go with me but if not it is ok.

    It is getting on my nerves that it gets dark so early. I feel like I am suppose to be in the house getting ready for bed.


  2. Congratulations on your endo. I bet that was fun. he he he Your friends are still your friends. You know how people get about sensitive stuff like surgery and weight issues. I did the same thing to my girlfriend when she gastric bypass and after my sister had her gb surgery. Just know that we are here because we all need that support on a regular basis.


  3. I was thinking about not going to weigh in tonight but I was just trying to punk out because I have had some stupid eating habits lately. Ice cream is on sale and it is killing me. It is good that I have really good restriciton in the morning and the afternoon. Once I get home I can eat a tad bit more. :heh: :kiss OK too much. Yesterday I had a flash back. I had soup around 11:30 and went to a doctors appt at 4. I did not eat anything in between but was hungry. I went to Wendys and got a jr deluxe cheeseburger and nuggets. I ate the whole thing :hungry: :omg: It took about 35 minutes but I ate that burger except for the last 2 bites. I was driving down my steet which is kind of long and as I was biting down on the burger I realized this is where I would purge while driving so many years ago. I felt like I was doing the same thing but only I would have had 2 sandwiches, fries, a big soda and a dessert. Thank God for my band. I will go weigh in tonight.

    No I still have not gotten back to exercise yet. I am thinking about it more and more. I will get there. I have started dancing to a song here and there at work and at home. For me that is a start. LOL I will walk this Sunday.


  4. You are the typical person. After I talked to the cardiologist I wanted my surgery to have already been over but no, I had to wait but it was worth it. Right now you need support and LBT is here. Don't forget to check your local forum to see if the have a local LBT support group near you. Also, your surgeon should have a support group you can check out.

    Good Luck and you can start now. It looks like you have family so utilize them. Start changing something, eating habits or exercise. Exercise is not a dirty word, ex. walk in place when commercials are on, while watching your favorite show. You would be surprised at how many steps you can accumulate in a day. Hey, get a pedometer. They sale them at walmart, they can help you see how many steps you walk a day. They want us to walk 10,000 steps a day when a typical person walks 2 to 3,000 a day. So every litlle bit helps.


  5. Sheila, poor baby you are not the only one to go through these feelings. We all get scared but we know why we looked into the surgery in the first place. As far as not having anyone to talk to....you have all of LBT and other sites, banded2gether, Obesity Help and I am sure your surgeon has a support group. Have you checked here on line to see if anyone lives near you? Good Luck with your decision.


  6. oh oh you are talking about not covering your arms and stomach. Go take a look at the plastic surgery surgery section. Your arms are not going to be toned if you currently have bat wings. They will sag more and the stomach it doesn't just shrink in you still have the hanging portion at the bottom depending on how big it is now. These are issues that the psych may talk about. What are your expections after surgery? You don't want to have a false sense of your body is gonig to be perfect once you weigh one hunded something. You will feel better and you will look great in clothes. A lot of folks don't like the way their body looks after surgery. I know you know these things but just wanted to say.

    That is great your appointments are here. You do know that tomorrow is November 1,Wednesday, you said Thursday. I don't want you missing your appointments.
