Coco itching is good that means you are healing. I hope all is well with you. Lets hang out soon!

Mo I have around and doing fairly well. Thanks for asking. How is everyone doing? Mo I just tried to call you, you must be sleeping. What's going on on the 20th? Girl too much to read through previous pages lol. Where is my Candra, Riley and Donna ?? Jes- you are too funny!! John it's good to see you doing so well. Lee and Pat I hope you are all well. Tamra and Tina I know you guys are well.( I am making light of this because it is not that serious) My mother's best friend 52 years just passed away this weekend and I am mourning her loss. She was my second mom and those two were glued to each other's hip. I say this to tell you all that tomorrow is not promised to us and we MUST cherish what we have(good) and dismiss the bad at all times. Okay let me get off my Wayne Dyer trip and come back to reality. I see Dr. P on the 10 so I have to drop weight quickly. I have taken the proactive route, I bought more protein shakes and cold cuts. If I get down to at least 268 she will give a fill, a little birdie told me at Richmond so needless to say i am trying. B- Grande skinny dolce latte and sausage and egg sandwich half the bread. L - Red chicken curry thai and 1/4 cup rice D- Corn-beef(stewed) and 1/4 cup rice s- corn chips (bad idea) Analysis- too many carbs. I will reduce the intake tomorrow I would like to pose a question to the entire group. When we make bad choices do we really know why we do and often why can't we stop ourselves? I ask this because I feel we all have our individual "big elephants" that we either refuse or are simply afraid to address. I have found a few things about my self these few months since surgery and especially of recent weeks. I really have to face. It is far beyond the band and weight. I think addressing emotional and psychological issues is a big part of our success that our program missed. Some of us are being treated but not fully. Any thought??

HI MO!!! How was the chicken??

OH WOW! I have been away for few days and you "chilren" start acting out LOL. I have to shed some light on this madness. First of all Tina I miss you too. The division of the forum may not be such a bad idea. WE all go through our trials and tribulations. Tamra those of us who have been out over six months have been where you are, we all have different ways of dealing with things and I am playing the devils advocate in thinking that Tina's post is primarily for support and thoughts on what to do. When you are operating on NO FILL it is not easy as I feel like I am now. With that being said I understand that you are needing all the positive reinforcement and point is well taken, that's what we are here for. I hope we all continue to be a support in each others lives as these bands and sleeves are not going to be obsolete in our lives anytime soon :-). We are in the struggle forever. We are all good friends and we need to support the best way that we can. I probably would have PM Tina is I was feeling this way. However hind sight is 20/20. So I want you all to kiss and make up LOL. Lets move on and get slim or move out fat whichever comes first I hope slim is the premier. I love you all. Reggie
