  1. No, I didnt go to the Buffet simply because 1. I've been too sick to leave the house and 2. no money. Not because I don't want still want. I have the last mealitis. I keep thinking of all the meals I need to eat before I can't ever eat them again. Its awful. I can't blame it on on a Husband either. I dont have one. Its all me. My Family is actually jumped on the get healthy band wagon, and are disappointed in me every time I mention eating anything unhealthy. Especially my 15 year old who needs to lose about 30- 40 lbs herself. I've got to get more motivated and keep her motivated. Good for you that you have gotten so much done. My Consult is Thursday, I'm not sure I shouldn't post pone it until after I see the G.I. Doctor since I am having so many G.I. problems. I'm so sick of being sick!

  2. :thumbup:Well on Accident I got my Stress Test out of the way. I spent the Weekend in the Hospital because I was having Chest pain. They did a Mirade of Tests. Ekgs, Bloods, Echocardiograms. Finally they did a Nucleur Stress Test. It came out Clear. So I will have that to take to my Consult Next Thursday. I am trying to get all my ducks in a row. How's everyone else doing?
  3. Im doing good, Ive been in and out of the Hospital this week because of my heart. Looking forward to my consult with my Lapband Surgeon next week! How are you doing?

  4. I am trying to follow a High Protein, low carb, low sugar eating plan. I am journaling all my food at www.SparkPeople.com and trying to keep my calories between 1500-2000 a day. I have cut sodas out of life completely. That has made a major difference. I drank Diet Sodas, too. I can just tell the difference in how I feel. Im having some Last meal mentality, there are few things that I really want before I get my Band. Ive been wanting to go to a Seafood Buffet since I moved to Georgia Now I really want to go there. I think I am going to have to do that one, or It may be my downfall later on with my band. Do you have any poisons?

  5. I think that is so awesome that you've learned to eat in moderation! You are conquering your food demons. Woooo hoooo! I hope you did a Happy Dance because you Rock, Girl! I have somewhere between 180- 200lbs to lose depending on loose skin. I am being realistic that I have been heavy skin my teen years, and have stretched my stomach out since I was 14 or 15. Keeping that in mind, when I get down to a healthy weight I may still have several lbs of loose skin left around my middle. My insurance(Medicaid) doesn't cover this surgery ever. It has been suggested to me to start thinking about how I could raise the money for PS. I am not concerned with what I will look like I just want to get healthy. But I do realize the extra skin may have me weighing in higher on the scale than I original was thinking for a goal weight. I will be praying for you in the AM! Come in and let me know how things went for you!
  6. Are you doing an PreOp Diet? Im trying to but its so hard to stay motivated.

  7. Love the corset, youre rockin' it!
  8. Congrats on your Surgery Date Abby! I wish my insurance was so fast with an approval. Good luck on this Journey ahead!

    By Medical Card, do you mean Medicaid?
  10. I will Praying for you on the 12th, come in the chat when you get home and let us know how things went! Lets kick fats ass!

  11. Congratulations on your upcoming Lapband date! Just one more day! Are you nervous? I think I would be! I know what you mean about getting invested! I've been doing real well on my Preband eating plan but the last two days Ive been slipping a lot. I need to get invested in what I'm about to do. I have everyone in my house Synced up to get healthy, and they aren't getting Lapbands. Just me. They are just going to start eating healthy with me, and doing exercise. If I crap out so will they. I've got to get invested NOW! I really do want to get Healthy! Just with my Lapband Consult Appt. so far off, all of it feels a long time away. Ive got to get on Top of this! LOL, I think I need sleep. I will praying your Surgery goes well! Keep in touch!
  12. It's pretty much the same here. Its a requirement you comorbordoties, (which I do.) But if they tell me they want to do a Gastric Bypass I'm going to have to say no. They are not going to cut up my stomach. I'm not taking that risk. I have known 3 people personally to have died from complications from Gastric Bypass. Not worth it to me. I have a Surgeon Consult appointment next week, and I spoke with Medicaid they do approve Lapbands the paperwork just has to be submitted. So I know its a possibility. I'm just trying to see what I'm up against. Good luck on your joureny ahead. Let me know how things are going!
  13. My Food Voice wants to go to the SeaFood Buffett and get my Fix. I know that's not healthy, and not going to get me anywhere but its what my food voice keeps whispering to me. The healthy girl in me, says" HELL NO We Wont Go!". I will let you know who wins! I wish I could just get banded and this wouldnt be such a struggle. Do you have a Date set yet?

  14. How are you today Electra?

  15. Hi, Delta! Im home from the hospital. Everything is okay, they didnt find out why I was having chest pain but they did get my Stress test out of the way. It was clean. YEAAAA! I hope you are having a great day, Delta! TTYS!

  16. 2 Fly, I was wondering how do I make goals to achieve if I dont focus on numbers? I'm not focusing on Final number that I'm not worried about, right now I just have a goal of 310 to get a pedicure, 299 to go on a roadtrip with my kids....How can I Recognize Ive lost weight without the scale?

  17. Sorry it took me so long to reply Lynn. I was in the Hospital all weekend with Heart Problems. Everything's okay, and a good thing came out it. My stress test is done for the Lapband.

     

    You seeing yourself is exactly why I posted the pics. I knew there are others like me, and I want to be able to inspire them to get a Lapband, too. This a Life Choice not a Easy Choice. My Consult with my Surgeon is next Thursday now. I'm so excited I can't stand it. Have you had a Consult yet?

  18. Thanks for the friend's request, TDN! You are looking Awesome. Keep posting picture they are a lot of inspiration to pre Banders like me!
