Hey girls, I am doing ok. Have lots to tell you! I am sick too Steph, you must have spread your germs around. THANKS! lol... I am ok though. Thanks so much, I love you all!

Hi, thanks. It took me a bit over a year, about 15 months. I work my butt off. I count calories, I eat about 800-1300 a day. I only eat about 1 cup or less at a time, even if I want more. I work out for about 1.5 hours a day at 4 am. I think the tip is to committ 110% a do whatever your bodies needs to loose! I hope that helps!

Check it out and you will know if it right for you! Good luck!

If that is what makes you think you will do it then go for it. But I can tell you that I AM SURE I lost more weight without the optifast because I was able to have surgery right away. But if you think the out of pocket will help you stay focused you should do it. It depends on where you are I think in your head. I was ready for it now, and wasn't wanting to wait anymore.

Hi I went to Sparrow, but I ended up not using them. They require a pretty extensive and EXPENSIVE pre op program. I didn't see the point! I ended up going to Hurley in Flint. I was very happy there, if it doesn't work out at Sparrow try there. You may be surprised at what all Sparrow actually requires. Good luck.

Awwww thank you! :rolleyes2:

No, I am sorry I don't. But I am writing a book...maybe someday it will get published... Thanks!

I started out at about a 1/2 hour per day. I worked up to the 1 1/2 in about 6 months. I didn't plan it it so happened that was able to workout more and I kept going. I started working out as soon as my Dr cleared me, and that was about 3 weeks post op.

Hey girls.... I am so sorry I have been a.w.o.l. I am having a very very tough time with life in general lately. Brandi--I am so sorry hun. I love you, if that helps any, we all do. I hope things get better for you. Claud--Call me please so we can talk! I want to know everything that is going on. I am sorry if I have missed anyone else with stuff going on, I am not adjusted to this new layout blah... I am having a really hard time girls, I need prayers. I am seriously to the point of packing up my kids and running away. I wouldn't tell anyone where I went, it is the only way I could ever get away. But what then? I will post on yahoo when I can. Life has spun so out of control for me. I thought being skinny would fix my marriage, it made it worse. :rolleyes2: And now I can't stop myself from obsessing about my weight. I need help, but I can't get it. He would know.....

Just an FYI guys, anything taken out of your body or off it becomes no longer your property. SO if you have say your toncills out, they can and most likely will be used for testing, research ect. It is actually on every surgery waiver you sign. EVERYTHING is used in research, and your skin can be passed on even without your actual consent. You sign it over to them with the surgery. You can cross off that part of the waiver if you want, and it may or may not make a difference. I am donating mine not because I am getting $$ off but because it is the right thing to do, hell I don't want it back. But if they want it, they legally can use it even without me designating it specifically as such. (Hey, I am learning something in college! Thanks Bio Ethics...lol) :tt1:

I have had enough of the one who called me the C word today. I am sick of being your emotional punching bag.

Hey girls....miss ya all... Faith...I would be glad to see you! I workout at Planet Fitness. The protien bar is Powerbar, and it is called TRIPLE THREAT. They have a great line of them. You can get them anywhere now, really. I get mine at Kroger for the best deals. Claud--I am really not ok today but thanks for asking. What you saw is going on again. I am now a C*nt. I need to go, I can't take anymore. :tt1: How was your trip? How was the bf??? My stomach is not better either. It goes from side to side and the Drs are fucking clueless. I am sorry girls I am ast my witts end today. I can't do this anymore, and ya all know what I am talking about. I just can't.

sweet---you are NOT a bad girl! IT is OK once in awhile to have a pop. More than that, is NOT good! You are ok unless you are doing it all the time. Brandi--man girl, get checked out! Mine is on the left side today. Please take care.

Sweet--That is amazing that you know someone that can help you with your PS!! WOOO HOOOO!!! He sounds like a truly great man! AND I wasn't gonna say anything about the tatas....lol....sorry your knees are bothering you, do you wear knee braces? They help me alot! AND I can keep you on it from here as well...just ask me....lol..... Maud--good job on the workout! Keep it up! It pays off! Brandi--Where does your hurt? It scares me that we are feeling the same damn thing. Mine is boucing from side to side now in the gut area. Nothing from the Dr as to wtf it is. I for one liked the other thread....lol...my thoughts felt protected...lol....but DerrickM proved that wasn't so more than once. SO I will get over it and stay here! :Banane42: Hugs to all, it is snowing here and I am sick. Not only the tummy but a terrible cold....ugh....this Michigan weather bites.. :smile:

:bananalama:Faith--I am so sorry things are rough for you, but you can get back to where you want to be! Have you tried the Power Bars I told you about? When I want chocolate or sweets I cut them up and eat them. I love the Triple Threat Carmel Peanut. 1 step up from a candy bar really. 20 Mg of protien though! :wink: They taste devine, trust me. I am here whenever you need me. My gym now has one in Ypsi, so if you ever want to go I am there. You would get in with me for free! :biggrin: I think you are dealing with head more than real hunger, and that is a bitch. One thing definately more Water. But also, eat slow and STOP at 1 cup or less even if you THINK you are still hungry. I have found if I do that the hunger does pass in 5 or so. Then I know I didn't overeat. Maybe you are one that needs smaller meals closer together rather than 3. Have you tried that? Whatever you need, I am here sister! Helll I will drive down to see you and get you back on it, whatever you need! Want me to call and get you in for fill? Carolyn loves me! I will do it! :welldoneclap:

Ok girls I have to share with you my Mommy moment. I had to buy Brooke my 9 (ALMOST) year old a bra! No joke. David pointed it out she needed one. I want to cry. Ugh...and the worst thing is what she said, so sweet and true... "Mommy I just have to get used to it, it is a part of growing up and being a lady." Wahhhhhh........ :smile:

Hey Maud! How are you doing? Sweet--congrats on the 3 miles!! YOU ROCK sister! Keep it up! WOO HOOO!! Jill--keep up the good work! You will make it babe! Faith--silly silly girl! They accepted me, that means they take anybody! lol... Hey Steph--how are you doing?

So glad to hear you are doing ok! We were all very worried. Please rest and take care of yourself. Rest, rest, rest!! You need to get better! Hugs and thank the angel on your shoulder! :smile:

lol....but don't you feel important?? lol... I am here ladies!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Brandi! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you! We all love you and I know we are all tremendously proud of you and all that you have accomplished! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I for one don't think you are settling by Eric calling, I know it is hard because you are apart but from what all you have told us he is a doll! Sweet--congrats on getting the car back! BEEN THERE! That sucks! So sorry about the dumb Dr scales. You know better, forget about that crap!! Kay--Sorry about the fluctations, that sucks. Probly just water! Steph--I agree that is me. I miss my best friend. She calls me a bitch now.... No wonder I am so depressed all the time. But I don't think I meant to push her away. I try to be positive and supportive. BUT oh well. Ugh! Back to class ladies, keep me in line! lol... Hugs

Jessiebear I am so happy to hear that for you! Congratulations! I bet you are very very relieved! Keep us posted on how you are doing! :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

Ugh. I just need to vent, and any guys that read this do not post any comments that you think may help. NO OFFENSE! I am just pissed off as hell right now. I just spent a TON of $$ on Ebay on new clothes, hot new clothes. AND guess what, my boobs are too freaking big. It sucks I have all these new dresses and I look like a freaking circus freak. THIS SUCKS... I want my PS. Someone please tell me how to get the B*tch that scheduales to call me back, this is bullshit. I have had enough. She has been not returning my calls since December. B*TCH.... I am so sick of people not doing their job, and I am the one that suffers.

lol...wouldn"t that melt me then? I mean heat and a fruitcake?? Thanks lousing! Love ya!

Yes I am! I was supposed to go in December but the schedualer screwed me over. SO now it will be May when my classes end!
