Thanks BG,

I'd be happy with a two pound loss so I could say it's an even 100# for 2007.

I'm working on getting my head out of my ass about eating crap. Today's perspective (I've been up for all of 2 hours) is better than the last couple of weeks. Yesterday I was writing on LBT on some thread about being comitted to losing...and I thought I needed to pay attention to my own words.

I hope to keep the focus clear for a while.

Happy Wednesday.

Honestly now that I hit 199 my outlook is a bit better. My eating has been better, though mostly because of the inability to eat before I have been up for 8 or so hours. coffee has helped too because it kills my appetite. I have been shooting for 3500 calories burned on my bodybugg because I know it will be damn hard for me to eat that much crap.

Hey Gang - sorry i haven't written in a while - just been in a big fucking funk & not wanting to share that vibe... Mostly pissed at myself for not exercising enough. With the BB, you'd think it would be easier - I know, with certainty, that I'm not burning enough calories. Why is it so damn hard, then to get on the bike, the treadmill, the weight bench, go for a walk, whatever the fuck to get the calorie burn where it should be... Anyway. Also need to lay off the starbucks. Do many calories, way too much sugar. Had to start taking insulin again. Anyway - enough of that happy crappy...

For my wonder twin power - "Form of a skinny bastard", followed closely by "Form of a winning lottery ticket" :)

BG - Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JC - Glad to see you back. Glad also to hear that the churning of the butter continues :)

TX - Way to go on the bike riding! Did you get any snow on Thanksgiving - was at my folks in Hurst and it snowed for several hours - big fluffy cotton ball flakes. Too warm to stick, but it was pretty.

Thanks B, somebody has to do it!

J, I am a DORK I knew exactly what you were talking about referencing the Wonder Twins (That was my favorite cartoon at one time). I also I also uh Geocache. I guess that makes me a DorkGeekNerd.

I can't tell you guys how excited I am for BG's AWESOME accomplishment. YOU ROCK GIRL!!! I needed some uplifting weight loss victory news.

The holiday season is difficult with or without the band. Better with the band. There are just so many distractions, people coming out of the woodwork wanting a slice of your time and the insanity of the over abundance of food, not to mention the emptiness associated with missing so many loved ones.

I have been down because I haven't lost as much as I wanted to, then I reminded myself that I am kicking ass and don't even look or feel like the same person from just a year ago.

I seriously like the idea of the muddybuddy. I have not jogged in weeks, however I am staying active. Just not Modified Japanese Mach III worthy active.

My knew GF has agreed to start the Couch-2-5K so I am encouraged. It's probably good that I have backslid a little so that I am not as intimidating. Sometimes people don't mesh to the point of wanting to change the other. I told her she doesn't have to do every crazy thing that I do as long as she understands that it is part of my new life and she supports my need to stay active.

OK, back to work! Hope everyone is well.

JC

hehe, I at least know what Geocache means and yes, that gives you the Uber Geek Dork Nerd Master title.

Starbucks can be done, but you've got to be a pain in the ass and order non-fat milk, sugar free syrups...I can go on about the social implications of Starbuck Speak, but I'll spare you. Still unless you are drinking coffee or espresso black it's not guilt free.

I personally find the BB more annoying than helpful. It really turned for me when their rep told me that all nutrition labels lie. I'm like WTF is the point of keeping track. I need to not let some person towing the company line (blame something not the BB for a person's failure) mess with what I know to be te trurth. That is that essentially nutrition labels are acurate and it's a person's honesty that messes up the equation.

Also, I'm pretty sure my metabolism is jacked up, because I don't lose a pound for every 3500 saved. I just don't. I'm getting back to basics and trying to go super low calorie here after my fill to see how that works.

Love you guys.

      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.
