@BobbyD Its funny that you ate all that crap and had a DIET coke

I am seeing my Dr. this Friday for my last Dr. visit before my surgery on March 1st. I have a few things I need to ask regarding medication I am currently taking etc. But are there things I should ask that I might overlook? I think its funny that they call it the last visit with Dr., because I actually met this Dr. 1 time 6 months ago for about 5 minutes. He doesn't really know me and I don't really know him. I had 6 months of supervised dieting which I never saw him, so the questions I have asked have all been his office assistants.

That's something you really have to answer yourself. It will be hard and if you like to party and eat for fun it will really be hard. The truth is that to make it work you have to change your eating patterns and thoughts. I have had some of the same thoughts as you mention but for maybe different reasons. I have lost 60 plus pounds many times before but slowly I always let it sneak back and add to it. I am finally pulling the trigger on surgery because I hope its the tool to keep me in line when I start oozing back up. I am much older and I am just tired of carrying another adult around on my back.

We have a facebook page for march sleevers 2016 but you can't search and find it. Most of the members wanted it to be secret so it is set that way. If you would like to join please friend me on FB and I will be happy to add you to the group. On FB I am Donna North and my email is dieselgal@twc.com

Great job!

Could you maybe cold brew coffee and then mix it with almond milk or a flavorless protein drink for a touch of the coffee?

Sounds like a little panic attack situation. I use to have those BIG TIME. Over the last few years I have learn to accept my issues and not panic so much. You kind of have to just settle in your own mind that you don't have control and that what happens will happen. Let go a little. Best wishes and I know where you are coming from.

I think the show called SKIN TIGHT is enlightening in a way because of the few shows I have seen none of the people they showcase could be considered a 10. They are highly improved by removing hanging skin and they can get arm fat removed etc. All that is wonderful, but if you have been very fat or heavy for a very long time you will probably never be what you want to be when you visualize it yourself. Just plan on being happier and able to move without the restriction.

I tried the Unjury Chocolate Splendor and it was pretty good.

So now when people call me a loser and a cheater..........they will be right????????????????? WHAAAA

If I could see down there well enough to shave I wouldn't be needing the surgery!

I had 2 heart stents in August and the cardiologist is making me wait 6 months because of the blood thinners I have to take. I was disappointed but I know its the best thing.

We are still looking to add more March 2016 Sleevers to our Facebook page. The page is marked as secret so you can't search for it but if you send me your facebook email address I can invite you. I am having real trouble getting into Bariatric pals today so you can either send me your FB email at my private message here or to dieselgal@twc.com

Congrats and I hope I feel the same way you do once mine is done.

My husband knows and my children (all grown). My girlfriend at work knows and of course my boss. I am not keeping it a secret really but work with 10 men and 1 woman and as I said she knows. Everyone knows or should know that I have been on a diet but I am sure that when I take off 1 to 3 weeks everyone will know because the workplace is full of gossips and it doesn't bother me really. The only thing I will detest is the same thing that bothers me when your on a diet and that is that everyone wants to be your watch dog. I know some people want to keep it a secret but I figure if I start losing large amounts of weight they are going to think that either I had WLS or I am dying! LOL

I think its psychological. You know you won't be able to do it so your freaking out. STOP, don't do anymore damage. LOL

@lupelane@mrskhardin We do have a facebook page for March Sleevers. It is marked secret so you have to be invited but if you send me your facebook email in PM I will be happy to invite you and anyone else you want to bring on that is having surgery in March.

You should be proud of yourself and I am sure one day the perfect person will appear. Good luck Danny.

I am scheduled for March 1st so I thought I would go ahead and try to get a group started. Anyone here scheduled for March yet besides me?

@@Inner Surfer Girl Your therapist MAY be right...I had sex when I shouldn't have, got knocked up when I shouldn't have, we were poor and I stayed home and ate all the time. Gained 60 lbs with that pregnancy and never lost it all. Therefore SEX=FOOD=FAT No wonder I never wanted sex again until I had my hysterectomy!

@Dub With Nuts?

@7TimesBlessed Hi there, I am scheduled for March 1st and I am excited too. We have also started a Facebook page for March sleevers! If you would like to join send my your facebook email address and I will send you an invite! In any event I am thrilled for you!

Exactly what I was going to ask!

@@Calykynsmom @@Arsenio Romero @@AmyQwith2 @@avilas @@mum2chong I have created a facebook page for March Sleevers 2016 but it is a secret page because many say they don't want people to be able to see their names on the member list. If you would like to be a member please send me a private message and let me know your email address for FB and I can send you an invite.

I was giving my granddaughter some grief because she is constantly texting and on her cell and chatting up people she has never met and I have been warning her. She always says...these days things are different....LOL, like I was born 60 and have never tried this crap. Why does she think I warn her.
