Wheezy Whispers-AKA September's Goals



Recommended Posts

I'm back from our little get away and we had a great time. Something about the rustic life in the Adirondacks. Lake Placid was very placid, not much going on. Too early for sky season, too late for the fall foliage. I was soooooo peaceful. Plattsburg was good, got a lot of Christmas shopping done. It's my dh's birthday today so I bought him an iPod and new ski jacket. I cooked him his favorite meal, a turkey dinner.

I'm taking a couple of more days off work to catch up on housework and I am developing a web page for my husband's new business venture. I've never done it before so it will be a challenge. I've got lots of reading to do. When it's done I'll post the link, you can tell me how I did.

I've missed a couple of days so I've got some catching up to do with your posts. I think next time I go away I will bring a laptop with me so that I don't miss anything. I Hate to miss anything!!!

Well, now I'm getting depressed. I haven't lossed any more weight since the week after my surgery and now my hair is falling out. I told my husband not only am I fat, now I'm going bald:mad: . I thought that I could deal with some Hair loss if it meant that I would be thinner Agh!!!!:think

*hands over some duct tape*.

I hear it works for everything; smack some onto that scalp of yours!!!

Okay, seriously though.....don't worry.....it'll stop before too long and the weight will come off eventually too. It WILL be worth it in the long run. Don't get discouraged.

I know it may be easier for me to say since I didn't have any significant Hair loss. I know I did have some but my hair is so damn thick it was a blessing in disguise. But just hang in there!!

Hey Wheezy, why don't you e-mail the Doc, there usually pretty good about responding. Tell em just what you told us, see what he say's. If it's getting you down, don't let it go, cause it might become a vicious circle(at least it does with me). Let us know!!

Your holiday sounds wonderful, Wheezy, and I am envious!!!

I've got a crazy idea about your current problem. Both my friend who is a teacher and my brother who is a doctor say that they gain weight when they are working even though they eat the same. They claim that this is caused by stress. My teacher friend says that stress is very fattening! Are you feeling any stress? Could this be interfering with the band? Stress can also cause hairloss. This same friend of mine lost a bunch of hers while she was going through a stressful episode.

Do get in touch with the TLBC about lack of weight loss.

Wheezy you might be on a stand still for 2 or 3 wks. Then you will start losing again. Be patient. My hair is getting thinner too .

Wheezy, we are in the same boat! not losing fat but losing hair! whaassup with that? it's kinda depressing since i have thin hair already, and a great big scar on my head from ear to ear ( a car accident when i was young).

Thanks for all the encouragement. I will give it one more week and if there is still no weight loss, I will contact the Dr.

Green, am I stressed? That's an understatement. It's so stressful at work, I would really like to tell them to kiss my butt and walk out of there and never return.

Oh Yeah, remember that crazy lady I work with, she is sweet as pie to me. What the f....ck, what a psycho. It's like she never did anything. I find that scarier than if she was still flipping out.

Cloe, did you try a product for hair loss, if so did you find anything that worked?

Hi Louise

No I never did get anything. My hairdresser kinda talked me out of it. Said it was a waste of money, for something hormonal. I dunno. I'm still really thin, but I think it's slowed down a bit, or at least thats what I'm telling myself right now. It is scary, isnt it?

Wheezy, talk to your doc about the stress. Maybe he or she can help. Who knows? The fact that the psycho is now doing a 180 is not going to relieve the stress of being around her. You are simply waiting for the other shoe (work boot) to fall.

Yup, your right. Don't know when she will freak out again. The name of the game is avoidance. Stay as far away as possible. I will take your advice into consideration about the doc thing.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
