Gone for Good Club -- September 2006



Recommended Posts

Great tat, Telly. You look super svelte.

Welcome to all the joiners and I look forward to getting to know you.

LaMadame...Your story is heart wrenching and you should be proud of all the positive steps you've taken for yourself. I agree with everyone. Four lbs since November isn't a lot but I feel your panic. So this is the place to re-apply yourself, set your goals and get it done. Congrats on making the step.

Stitchy...thanks for the suggestion of putting the shake in a mug at the bar b que. I'll do it. That way...who has to know?

I'm a bit more concerned about the formal sit down fancy do we're going to tomorrow night. La de dah, at the country club. I'm seriously thinking of excusing myself from the sit down dinner portion and running up to the house and heating up some Soup and then coming back later. Do you think that would be incredibly rude?

Later, gators.

Hey thanks guys. Much appreciated.

Myself, Tricia, Heathergurl, EmileeKaye, PhotoNut and a few others I think are all almost wearing the same pants size. How cool is that?

Cool yes Telly, but how can a 224.6 lb gal fit into a size 12 jeans comfortably? I still don't get it... my tag must be wrong on my jeans :)

Or maybe I have a lot of muscle??? HA!

Nahh, you are waay taller and some people have more upper body than lower. Every make of body is different. Recently, my sister weighed less than I did and is in a bigger pant size. I weigh less than she does now.

I'm only 5ft 3, if at that. I think I'm shrinking. But, if you think about it, I am in a size 12's and I do wear 14's but they are kinda loose. Someone at 5ft 6 weighing about 20lbs more than I and fitting into the same jeans makes perfect sense.

Nope Paul, I don't think your booty would look as good as mine in them.

I will find some excuse to take new pictures this weekend... let's all try that. New pics for September!

I'm thinking I'm due a new "After" picture. I'll see if I can persuade the wife to take one.

Even though I feel pretty darn fat this morning.

Heathergurl, no excuse needed. Snap away, everyday if you want to.

I take pics every 2 days for no real reason. :)

New avatar too... I doubt you still look the same as when that pic was taken.

Correct, I got uglier.

I think you need to take care of yourself. You need to eat - such as it is. You could run home for that. Or, if you don't want to go home, put some Soup in a thermos and leave it in your car. You might have to do a lot of 'splainin' if you sat at the table not eating. If anyone asks later you can come up with something plausible. Forgot something I needed, etc. Probably no one will notice. Maybe you can join the dinner after the entree has been served and just ask for a drink instead. Got no appetite. Couldn't eat a thing. This is workable. As my mom used to say, "Just put on your thinking cap!"

Here's a true sample:

B - Isopure shake (50g of protein)

S - Grapes (2-3oz)

L - 1/2 can of Albacore tuna, lots of spinich greens, romaine lettuce, red onions, sprinkle american cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, 5 croutons and Mikoto ginger dressing

S-1/2 of Isopure drink

D - Sometimes the other half of the salad, at other times, grilled chicken breast, steamed broccoli with velveta cheese melted on it (1 slice)

S-Light Dannon Yogurt drink

1-gallon or more of Water daily

Also too, dinner life has really changed in my home. I prepare my daily meals early in the morning and will eat according to plan throughout the day. I will, however make my family a separate meal for dinner, such as pork chops, mac n cheese, cooked veggies. They will never eat what I make for me therefore, I have to take care of them differently.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
