Douglas: you know what is worse than being a fat man? Being a fat women. I have always thought heavy men are sexy, if there is one thing I can't stand is a thin man. Of course that's just me. I have been like that in my skinny years as well. But Douglas make no mistake, being a over-weight women is the absolute worse. Men will hardly talk to you much less take you out. :heh:

Thanks for the info, I'm just freaking out because of this 3 pounds. I cannot believe as much as I haven't been eating that I haven't lost at least 6-7 pounds. Nothing will go down very well so I just don't eat, plus I'm not really hungry. The last thing I need to do is eat when I'm not hungry. That's how I got this way to begin with!!!! :Banane20: :Banane35:

I have not been able to eat for 2 days now and I don't understand what the $%^#@ is going on! I weighted myself this am and gain 3 pounds!!!!

Hi Madeline, I have a vanguard 11cc band and I am also filled to 6.5. I do feel very restricted on some days and others not at all, go figure. I lived in Memphis for 16 years and loved it! I feel that is my home and miss it terrribly. I know it has changed a lot there though. I also of course know where Southaven is, kinda like being on the outside looking in huh? Yeah Memphis:clap2:

And don't forget her DH

I would not be concerned with not having the energy, I know it is hard to just lay around but your body is trying to tell you something and it would probably be wise right now to listen. Hope you feel better soon.

Well I did my protein this am and have not ate anything yet and still am not hungry! I wish I could be like this all the time. I have lost 2 more pounds and have been slacking on my excercise, but cleaning like a mad man around the house. I am sure now doing the protein thing really helps me out as far as not being so hungry the rest of the day..... Congrats to everyone who has lost as well, I continue to say .

I certainly will not give up coffee, nor did I give up the cream I put in it! I only drink 2 cups a day so if that is a big deal so be it. Don't mess with my coffee. I did give up Starbucks, but that's as far as I go. I now do my own Starbucks at home with my latte machine.:success1:

No that is probably my mistake, reading to fast. I'm sure His explanation will be a very good one, although I can only guess how you must feel. One thing I am sure of with you, is that you are a very strong person. I will pray for you and your DH anyway.

No pain here either. Other than from working out! Also off of blood medication that I have taken for the last 10 years. Yeah.

Carlene: I can not in a million years imagine or endure the thought of anything worse than losing my mom, my husband is a diabetic an I think that's horrible enough! I would never be strong enough to watch my husband suffer from anything like cancer. I will pray for both of you today. When my mom died therapy was trying to get her to walk around a bit. She would not do it so they put her back in the wheel chair and she passed away almost immediately. I feel somewhat cheated, she was only 74 years old.:cry But I know for her it was an answer to all our prayers, that the Lord would take her quickly. You know you think you have problems till you hear someone else's and I'm so sorry for you and your DH. What a difficult thing that would be.:success1:

Thanks for taking the time to write that, I needed to read it. My mother died in June and cannot seem to move forward on this. I loved her and she was everything to me. She had alzhiemers, that of which she was only getting worse, it was horrible watching her. Anyway she died because she would not walk for many years, she would not do much of anything. This caused a blood clot to form in her leg and it went to her heart and killed her instantly. I think these are situations that we can say death is better. I always try to remember that when I have my very bad days of not having her in my life anymore.:cry

You know I use the spit cups but find that after a while have to get fresh ones because the sight of the spit makes me want to throw up....weak stomache I guess.

Being someone who has went through the Hepatitis C treatment I don't even like to have my nails done, not to even think of a used needle, no matter who's it is. Believe me this is something very serious and I can ASSURE you it is very possible to get these kinds of things through incompetent health care. I know you have received enough advice on this matter to drive to the next state if you have too.

I would tell that doctor where to stick it......Tee Hee

Hi pinkylee, I did not excercise this a.m and guess what?

I have in the past had issues with pbing and so now I have finally got it and am doing the slow eating, chew, chew,chew, thing. My question is: I am wondering if I am eating like everyone else as far as speed. We do not go to resturants much anymore because of the way I have to eat. Which is very slow, in other words take a bite and wait about a minute and take another bite and wait, this goes on for about an hour or more and still I have of course never finished any meal that a resturant actually serves you. The waitress/waiter if we do venture out to a resturant keeps coming over and asking if everything is alright, I do feel people staring wondering what's my problem with that kind of eating pattern? Does anyone else eat like this or am I not normal? :omg:

I seem to be less hungry when I do my protein drink in the A.M. before I do anything else. I have read protein first and I do believe it helps alot!

Could you please keep post on how this is working I saw the show but don't know.....I was just thinking it might be another gimick and heaven knows I've got a basement full of those.:thankyou:

You know what I can't believe you said that! Yes I have notice all the activity in the morning does seem to make me eat like a pig! I thought it was just my imagination. See this is why reading of others and their experiences helps so much, I'm not just using the heavy excercising for an excuse to eat. But if I don't excercise in the A.M. I won't do it at all, any suggestions? Oh yes I stoled your dancing face, I just thought it was so cute, it makes me feel funny to watch it bounce on the screen.

Nothing tastes better than that scale going down......

My doctor only has done the feeling thing and so far so good, last time though he poked me about 3 times before he actually hit it, ugh! He is getting a floroscope now though and I feel much better about that. So next time I go for a fill it will be a whole new experience. I really am looking forward to it.

:censored: Got ya

I did my excercise this A.M. but needed it badly because for some reason all I've done today is eat.....And I mean EAT!!!! I try to excercise every other day now and so far it's been good. I'll keep my fingers crossed though.

:lalala:I'm trying
