I hate logging food. But I do love that it shows my calories burned, steps taken, etc. I am jsut shooting for 3500 calories burned daily. That helps make things seems easier also.

And their rep is full of shit. Because seriously they can't lie that bad on labels. They have to be accurate because that shit is monitored by the FDA and shit. I jsut like saying shit today.

Thanks for the congrats. I have to admit it feels really fricken good.

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.

Ya know - before my band, I could not stand to drink anything hot & didn't like the taste of coffee, so starbucks, and the associated vocab, was just an annoyance. I had to go in with the wife every once in a while, and I could just stand back and shake my head. Now, for some reason, I can't stand to drink anything cold & with enough syrups & some whipped cream, coffee tastes damn good (and the 180mg of caffeine in a Venti is very nice as well :) ). Probably best to quit now - besides at $4.65 a cup, it gets expensive in a hurry.

Can I say how much I hate medical insurance companies?? And my doctor, right now??

This morning, I called to make an appointment for a fill - was told that they would need to get pre-approval from the insurance company - will take 2-4 weeks...

I offer to come in and pay cash, even though it's expensive. They say no - since i have insurance, their contract with the insurance company says they can't take cash. So - my question to the appointment chick was "If I have to make it through the holidays without restriction, then why did I even get the band?" At least without the band, I could eat more of the healthy things that don't go down now, so there'd be less room for the ooey gooey stuff that slides right down.

Awe B, that plain sucks!!! I am still trying to figure that one out. How could it take 2-4 weeks for approval for something the insurance company KNOWS you have and have to have filled regularly???? I would call the insurance company and talk to someone HIGH up there.

I have run out of shit to say lol.

I am super duper uber tight today. Band wise that is. I feel like crap because all I have eaten is a half a bagel and a protien shake. I want to eat but I feel so damn full and it is a chore to even get Water down.

I quit logging food. I eat the same shit everyday anyway, give or take a peice of chocolate. (or 2 or 3...) I do still love counting steps and calories.

As far as you liking to say 'shit' today... at my work the word of the day was 'fuck'. It got UGLY!! Lol. We all needed some xanax or tequila or something!

BTW, congrats on the 199! thats freaking amazing!! I'm still crossing my fingers that I make it to 299 by new years. Lol.

D - Thanks. It does suck. I'm hoping that I get approval earlier than that. It only took 2 business days to get approval for my surgery.

J - Thanks for the pep talk earlier. I came home, climbed on the stationary bike & rode for a little more than an hour. I feel better physically and mentally than I have in a while.

According to the fine folks at bodybugg, I've burned 2950 calories so far, and consumed 796. The 796 is about half of what I've been consuming lately, and there are far, far fewer carbs than I've had for the past few weeks. Hopefully these adjustments will make a difference & kickstart the weight loss, which will lead to the attitude adjustment that I sorely need...

I love talking to you peeps. Its so real. My in life friends have no idea still what a fill is and what getting stuck means, even though I tell them a bajillion times.....its like they don't listen. Its nice to say here to you all...."I am stuck" or " I am getting a fill" and have you know exactly what is being said.

Happy Thursday peeps!!!!

It is suppose to snow today.

I am going to the gym after classes today and riding the recumbent bike again. Then going skating tonight. I think that will qualify for exercise today....

AND I think we all know what we have to do to lose weight...its just whether we want to put the effort into doing it......right???? RIGHT?????

      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.
