I think I got caught up THANKS! I dont like Vicky which is the blonde witch!! Im glad her hubby went home and I hope shes next...then heba!

HEY Stephanie I remember you saying something about you just having surgery..keep it up girl!!! Youre doing great! Its nice to put names with faces or faces with names..lol

Thats all right I enjoyed the meeting and hearing everyone talk. I kinda well I REALLY wish that my doc and hosp. had had support group meetings when I had my surgery....I learned a lot just from that meeting (this was the first support group meeting that Ive ever even been to)...like I restrict my carbs but I didnt realize that 15g per meal is all you should have...but anyhow I will def keep coming and I'm sorry I didnt introduce myself either I'm pretty quiet.:smile2: You know Veronica was talking about cooking and then not being able to eat and feeling depressed but for me I'm not affected by that at all I LOVE to cook and if all I can have is the turkey and green beans then I'll work thru it.....I'll just keep remembering how great Im gonna look next year at the beach :thumbup:

Good luck!!!!!!

OK-so I didnt start watching this show until recently...why did everyone hate phil so much?

JASON-check out al racing scene I posted up about changing the date cuz thats a lot in 1 day and I'm sure you wanna celebrate the baby's bday and I'm not missing the next meeting :thumbup:

Jason-I'll have to admit that when you called me today and said you couldnt go I told Zach Jasons not going so neither am i-He was like YOU NEED TO GO-So I went and I am very glad that I did-I LEARNED alot today. I sat next to someone who is experiencing what I went thru with NO RESTRICTION So I was able to talk to her and I hope I helped her :thumbup: But anyhow Veronica is that the nurses name that talks? She was very informative and very inspirational to me. (Oh and she noticed that you werent there!!!!) And Paul OMG I could not believe how much weight he has lost in such a short amount of time.....ANYHOW I hate that you missed it but I will def be attending more often I LOVED IT and it was exactly what I needed!!! SO About those mood swings......what is your fat and carb intake like? If you decrease your fat and carb intake TOO much it can lead to increased irritability. These both are used to fuel the brain and when you restrict them too much is can result in drepression, irritability and poor concentration! You're body isnt used to getting little amounts of these as compared to before! Just look at your intake and if it is too low I would try to boost it some! You'll find a healthy balance :thumbup::teeth_smile: CANT WAIT UNTIL THE NEXT MEETING!!!!!

Amethystjade: I think everyone has an inner slut! I dont care what anyone says. I def want to dress sexy for halloween next year-This year I was ugly betty.....:Dancing_sorry: It would be awesome to feel comfortable enough to do a nude photo shoot just for my dh....:Dancing_wub:

Dr. Freeman did your surgery?! How did everything go? Did you have complications? I saw the flipped port but any other probs?

I can't stand it anymore! *A little dramatic huh :eek:* I have tried every Protein powder and protein liquid that I can get my hands on and they're all NASTY-I am very sensitive to gross stuff lol I cant even take cough syrup. and after surgery it was REALLY hard for me to take liquid lortab. I started with Proteinex liquid...It really did make me vomit it has been the nastiest so far but I got it as a free sample. I have tried to protein powders from Walmart and GNC I just cant get over the flavor and TODAY I bought a protein liquid its 3tablespoons at a time and you get 18g protein...I just cant do it its nasty even though it has an orange flavor.....so tell me is there just a protein pill? Now powder, no mix no shot no liquid just a pill? Thanks bunches!

Yeah, I knew the bullets werent powder I have done some search and it seems that most ppl on here like the flavor of the bullets over anything else. ITs just the GNC near my house is smaller than most and all they have is protein powder. I'm gonna go by there tomorrow and see if theycan order me the bullets. Thanks bunches for the info. I count my daily intake of calories, fat and protein and my protein seems to lack some days so I just wanted something I could tolerate protein wise. and I will def give thebullets a try

All I ever see at GNC is protein powder (vanilla and choc) like in the big huge tubs...Never seen the protein bullets. Do the bullets have good flavor or do you mix them with something?

I had not been focusing on my protein until I realized just how little I was getting. So today for lunch I went to chickfila and got their spicy grilled chicken wrap well the wrap is some whole wheat thing but the biggy is that it has 35G protein and it was awesome!! but yes overall Ive been doing low carb

Maybe thats the prob I havent seen any unflavored powder anywhere. Thanks! I'll give it a try

You dont absorb B12 is pill form as well as you do inject or sublingual. Sublingual is the 2nd best way to take b12- the first being injections. I take a SL B12 everyday along with a super b complex vitamin. Great for my lagging energy..not to mention the b vitamins are supposed to help your metabolism! B12 is the activity vitamin bc it helps with your energy.

I want to go to the meeting this time. (Anyone can go right bc I didnt have my surgery there) I could really use some extra motivation. Isnt it this saturday? I'm on call but if I dont have any scheduled pts to see I should be able to go.

Ive gotten to where lately if something isnt going down to great I burp...other than that I think my hubby is glad I dont burp as much as I used to!

I exercised today!!!!:rolleyes2::thumbup: I'm supposed to go back to my surgeon on the 19th----I REALLY want to put it off for like a week cuz I know Im gonna get a kick in my behind. But I'm working on it so thanks everyone!!! OH SAVEDBYGRACE-I keep a food journal online www.myfitnesspal.com its a really easy website to use. but I have found that overconsuming is not my problem in fact I average about 1000 on my calories everyday. I think I consumed almost 1200 once. Its around 900 give or take depending on your size that your body goes into starvation mode. But anyhow my prob is just being lazy. But they have tickers and theyre own little forum. So hope that helps!

I feel the same way. I have lost about 50lbs and I look in the mirror and I ask where the difference I dont see any so I have found myself eating a little worse here lately. We just have to get it in our heads that we want to continue to lose the weight!!

I have the wii fit and absoulutely love it and I am asking for the DDR for Christmas bc I have heard that its AWESOME!!!!

JASON- I actually had Zach move the TV up there last week. So I am preparing. Are you able to eat breakfast at all? I cant usually-sometimes I have grits though with protein powder or just some milk. I'm surprised that choc milk bothered you

I KNOW JASON!!! LOL Truth hurts doesnt it! LOL Anyhow, my fills are not free for the first year. Actually my fills and md visits were only covered for the first so many days....I called the md's office I havent been paying bc I did overpay at least they're being honest I guess and not making me pay for my visit but you know if I had underpaid theyd be wanting their money now....so that kinda made me mad...oh well I'm sure I could ask for a refund but its nice not having to pay when you go to the md and at my rate I shouldnt have to pay for a very very long time!!

How is your restriction? Are you exercising? Are you drinking lots of Water? Tell us a little bit about whats going on and maybe we can offer some tips.

I have a few concerns that maybe some of you could help with: My weight has pretty much stayed the same now for about a month and half. I have lost a couple of pounds but then its right back. Any suggestions for boosting my metabolism?! I take a super B vit complex.....I hate exercising but is there anything that youve found thats FUN? I got the Wii and love doing that but havent even found the time to do that in like 2 weeks.-Im in NP school and have been working really hard to get all my projects done these last couple of weeks but when I restart my husband and I walk a lot I wear ankle wts all day and I generally do the wii for about 30min I eat like a mouse and I eat pretty dang healthy I just need to start losing again b4 I get discouraged. Please dont "RIP" my post and say how awful I am just if you have any helpful suggestions on supplements to take or fun exercises let me know. Thanks!

Ive never had an US now I have had to go to the hospital for Fluro but I didnt pay anything there anything. I should just be grateful that I dont have to pay anything.!!!:thumbup:
