Hello ladies.. Sorry I didnt get a chance to update earlier. I have bee WAY TOO DARN BUSY with work stuff. Anyways... My appt. with Dr. M went well. I am a good candidate (knew that already as big as my azz is :bananajump: I really like the Doc, even though he's married... and he told me about her a couple of timess (I must have been giving him the eye ) But what I was most disappointed about is I was hoping he was gonna tell me that either one, the lap band or the RNY, was best for me and he didnt. He said that is really up to the patient.... well , what if the patient cant decide??? So, I guess my lil high that I was on was deflated a bit. But was still happy I went to see him. He seemed very caring and his stats sounded good. He put me down for the Lap Band and told me if I change my mind just to call him so they can update my info. :decision: I guess I do know that I want the band, I just need to start changing my eating habits/ exercise. The doc said that if I dont excercise, I wont lose weight, even with the band. So, I guess I gotta get my stuff together. He said I only have to lose 10-15 before surgery... ONLY...ha.:frusty: I also go my binder... and my supa dupa folder, that I had been using to organize myself before my appt. I talk to the ins. lady at the office and she said that after my Feb appt with my PCP, to send in my paperwork and they will get me going. So, I am hoping that I can have a surgery early may.:cheer2: Okay, gotta get back to work.... Yes ms. Theresita, I will post my food in a lil bit... although it wasnt good...AGAIN or should I sain IGAIN...:whip:

You're right LSasha, today is a new day.... I want to thank the ladies from TOPS last night. I was really having a crappy day yesterday and my food choices reflected it! :faint: I appreciate the talks and encouragement. Teresita, I promise to try to eat more healthy things, else nest time I will let you spank me next time... :xena_banana: But today is a new day and I will try again to fight this food battle. :boxing: I will also try to post my food journal daily... :typing: Thank to all of u wonderful supporters.:rockon:

no, I had no veggies I know, I am sooo weak :hail: I went to the nutritionist today and we tried to work on some thangs. She also suggested I join overeaters anyonomous.. or how ever u spell it. Has any one ever been a member? Give me the skinny if u have. Then my day was horrible... the traffic here is CRAzZZZY. I hate the WW bridge!!! I was suppose to hit the gym and what happen... I get to the gym parking lot and I cant find my pool shoes, so cant get in the Water, and then I cant find my socks so no working out, then while I was looking for this stuff, I drop my keys in the car and the alarm starts going off LOUDLY... Security came over asking me for info and stuff cuz they thought I was trying to steal the car... okay how embarrasing. So anyways, after that I was just angry, embarrassed, and pissed, so I to my happy butt home and had me two house specials (drinks) I dont even want to know how many calories were in there... So, how wuz ur day...:faint: :faint:

oh yeah... went to the darn doc yesterday.. I gain 4 pounds.... Somebody please wire my jaw SHUT.... :cake:

I am down to go... I need all the working out I can get. When I say I am gonna go by myself, sometime I just go home and :cake: So, if you want to hit the gym... U know I am there. Ms. T, I really enjoyed the walk this weekend. I was about exhausted when I got home... but that Sexi Steeler kept me going... Yeahh my man is going to the superbowllllll. Ms Stocky, Boxing is great.. get that work out gurl.. :boxing:

Hey there, Not sure if anyone has seen the lap band procedure done before, but here is a link to Brigham and Womans Hospital, where they show the procedure being done. Its about an hour long and the best one I've seen yet. I think it was recorded back in July. enjoy! http://www.or-live.com/BrighamandWomens/1372/

Thank you ladies for all your suggestions and advice. I want my pcp to perscribe something, cuz I want my notes to show that I've made some effort. I've been working out the past couple of weeks like crazy, but I just keep stuffing my mouth, even when I say I'm not gonna do it. So, I could lose around 15-20 before I become under 40 bmi. I would love to at least see the scale going the other way before surgery, even if its only 5lbs :faint: Hopefully, the diet pill will help, but ultimately, I need to try to control my binge eating. The root of all my problems :angry

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: A BIG hand of applause for those that came out to the gym yesterday. Getting there was half the battle, but you all got ur sweat on! Teresea, Yeah baby... I was happy to see you and Ms. Linda cycling it out... definately burning up the calories.:cheer2: LSasha... dont stop get it get it... U did excellent. That eliptical machine aint no joke and you were just jammin on there. Way to go ladies... Also, way to go to all who got their work out on yesterday. Your on ur way to a Slimmer U!

Hello Ladies, I know someone mentioned the sale at casual corner/casual corner women a while back, but I just came back from the one at Springfield mall and WHAT DEALS I FOUND. All the stores are closing. Most of them will close the end of the month, but springfield mall, landmark mall (and maybe others) are closing Monday, so they are at 75-90% off. Just letting u know! Kee:eek:

:director: Work it! Work it! You're sore now, but u'll be looking good later!!!! Yeah babyyyy, u can DO it!

Yeah, that is a lil intimidating.. but it was a hellafied work out. I felt like jello when I left there. I dont think I will be going back much though to work out... 10 per visit is kinda hefty for my pockets. I will be there for the support meeting though.

J&L, where are you gyming at? I know just getting there is the hardest part... Yesterday I did okay... I walked on an incline on the treadmill for 30 minutes, then I did a 30 min toning classs... Now I am all sore.
