Just 30 minutes, it is all I got in me.
marineliebe replied to gingerbug's topic in Fitness & Exercise
for me i find the 30min rule works really well when i dont' want to go to the gym or workout. i tell myself that all i have to do is 30 min, and lets face it 30min goes by really fast!! so i will either go on a walk, and once i start walking i usually go longer, or i will hop on the treadmill in front of my tv (my $40 craigslist buy!) and watch 30 min worth of tv. this little trick usually works pretty well for me. :glare: -
Just need to "talk" out my frustration.
marineliebe replied to paulajm's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
paula i'm so sorry your having such a bad week! we are all here to help and support each other so i'm glad that you typed all ur frustrations out...we are here to listen and support each other! :glare: i really hope things start getting better....doctors offices have to deal with insurance companies all the time...i guess you just have to hope that this has happened before and they can be patient and work it all out. keep your chin up...you have already lost 22lbs!! thats wonderful, you will get though this...its the hard times that make the good ones worthwhile. marine -
angelic 1, i totally understand how you feel, i have been feeling the same way! i'm afraid that i still won't be able to lose, that i'm going to fail, that i will have spent all this money (i'm self pay) and will still be fat. or that my band will slip or somthing a few months down the road. and just like you said, i'm not so scared that i don't want to do this...or think that i'm making a mistake...i'm just worried, what if i'm the one who it doesn't work for.

Hey, Have had a few people tell me they had a good expearence at NWWLS, I'm planning to get banded there in a month or so, was wondering if anyone would mind shareing their expearence with Dr. Montgomery or any others and tell me how the after care was etc? Also, how was the pre/post opt diet etc. Any info would be wonderful! ~Marine

wondering if others have noticed this?
marineliebe replied to marineliebe's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
yea i have gotten the same thing "you have a pretty face" aka your body looks horrable. and your not the only one that gets mad at the "easy way out" comment. my best friends bf said that to me and it really hurt my feelings and then i had to explain why i was doing it etc and i had to explain the actual way the surgery worked! he was jumping all over me without even knowing his facts...that really bugs me. what we are doing is not easy...its hard work. -

marineliebe replied to marineliebe's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
thanks for the replys guys...yea i've read about the "side effects"...my boss takes alli and she said that *so far* she hasn't had any need for those extra undies, although she says that once you have to go...you had better be near a bathroom. still not so sure what to think lol :thumbup: -
yea the whole dating thing is hard. i recently broke up with my long term bf and i got very heavy while i was with him. i gained about 80lbs total in a year and a half. now that i broke up with him i feel like no one will want me because i am at the heavyest i have ever been. and i feel uncomfortable in my body. i feel like i'm putting my love life on hold until i lose all the weight. i'm afraid of being hurt and i honestly feel like no one will want me while i look this way.

I'm self pay. I'm borrowing money from my parents, have taken out a loan, and i have some $$ saved up. $17,00 but I know it will be worth it!

lol are you a bat in that picture? yes i would have to say that we are both pretty damn cool

omg allison trader joes is my favorite store ever! they have all kinds of natural foods, but they all taste really good. and they have an awesome frozen section. the closest one to me used to be in seattle (2 hrs away) but last year they built one in my town! :rolleyes2: i think they have the best food ever, and its not over priced.
-
my closest safeway is about 30 min away from me...but if the shakes are that good, i'll drive to get them! :crying: I've also heard the shakes at trader joes are really good...has anyone tried those?

how do people handle holidays?
marineliebe replied to marineliebe's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
thanks kat, yea thats what i'm hoping....that once i'm banded food won't seem so important to me anymore. i can't wait for things not to center around food. -
