Teresita 0 Posted June 30, 2006 mdlitchick I'm sorry you have going through insurance problems. Despite the medical field you are doing an awesome job. 70 pounds in 6 months ...can I say WOW. You must have been dedicated from day 1. As far as the exercise, just know that you have slacked off is good. At least you are not in denial about it and you know what you have to do to continue to hae the success you are having. How much more to go until goal?

mdlitchick 0 Posted June 30, 2006 Well, I am a big gal--6 feet tall and was 395 at time of surgery--so I have a bazillion pounds to go, actually, about 100. My short-term goal, other than to incorporate more exercise in my life, is to get below 300 and I think I'm gonna make it! I haven't been below 300 since 1992. I have been focused on this and have made it my "project" and priority for the next year or so. I keep a food diary, rarely eat junk or fast food anymore (used to eat it sometimes twice a day), and my portions are so much smaller than the gargantuan meals I used to have. I also am aggressive about getting fills and have had two so far and am contemplating another. Thanks for asking! At the moment, I am very depressed and anxious about my financial future--I suffer from depression and this fight with the insurance company is kicking my behind--but even the medical industry can't take away what the lapband has done for me.
