WAS BANDED ON 11-21-07. HAVE ONLY LOST 15LBS. AM EATING LESS THAN NORMAL BUT MORE THAN THE DOCTOR WANTS ME TO EAT. HE SAID EAT 4 OZ OF PROTEIN AND 6 OZ OF FRUIT OR VEGGIES, THEN WALK AWAY. HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT. I'M HUNGRY. I CRAVE CHEESE SO MUCH. CAN'T EXERCISE BECAUSE OF OTHER HEALTH REASONS. I'M GROWING TIRED OF JUST MEAT AND VEGGIES. DON'T KNOW HOW TO MEASURE A SALAD OR A CASSEROLE OR BREAKFAST, ETC. ANY SUGGESTIONS?:thumbdown:

WHAT IN THE WORLD IS A BODY BUGG?

:help: HI, I'M BRAND NEW. I'VE HAD MY PSYCHOLOGICAL CLEARANCE AND CARDIAC CLEARANCE. NEXT WOULD BE PAYING FOR IT. IT'S COSTING ME $16,500. I'M SURE IT WILL BE WORTH IT. NEXT STEP WOULD BE THE 4-HR CLASS AND THEN I CAN HAVE THE SURGERY IN 2 WEEKS. VERY AFRAID OF THE SURGERY. MAY I SAY THAT I AM A MAJOR WIMP WHEN IT COMES TO PAIN. I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA PAIN EVERY DAY SO I DON'T WELCOME ANY MORE PAIN IN MY LIFE. I'M TYPE 2 DIABETIC AND HAVE SLEEP APNEA. ALL THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT COME ALONG WITH BEING OVERWEIGHT. I HAVE 92LBS TO LOSE AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO LIVING A LONGER LIFE WITH THIS SURGERY. DOES ANYONE KNOW ABOUT WHETHER I NEED TO BRING THE CPAP WITH ME ON THE DAY OF SURGERY? I DON'T WEAR IT ALL AND KNOW THAT'S WHY I'M NOT SLEEPING WELL AT NIGHT. I TRY TO USE AND AND AM WAKE ANYWAYS WITH IT. CAN'T GET USED TO IT. THIS SITE HAS HELPED ME SO MUCH TO GAIN THE CONFIDENCE THAT I NEED TO GO THROUGH WITH THIS. I KNOW THAT THE ALTERNATIVE IS NOT A GOOD ONE.
