zoomomma 1 Posted July 30, 2008 Sorry I've been gone so long. Life took over. Well, I had to start my 6 months over so it is all consecutive. I'm on month 2 and they are flying by. My sister is also doing her 6 months and we hope to get banded together. Still at 278, maintaining. At least I'm not gaining, my doctor says that's good. I'm not happy about it. Keeping a food and exercise journal. Started walking - OW! I hurt so bad after my walk I have to take my pain pills. I've tried walking less but it still hurts. But the doc says walk so I walk. No weight loss yet. I walk about 9 blocks a day, down to get the mail at the post office and back. I barely make it back. Can't breathe, hurt real bad, the works. I can't wait till I get banded. My insurance says if I get the 6 months consecutive then I will qualify and be good. My out of pocket max is only 1800 and I can do that with the tax refund next year. Hopefully my sister gets done at the same time. She is just starting her 6 months but mine are up in December however won't have the money to pay for it until Feb. so she can catch up. Just means I'll have a couple extra months is all. That can only help. Doc wants me at 1800 calories a day, having trouble cause I'm so hungry but doing my best staying between 1800 and 2200. Big span I know, but doing my best. Anyway, just thought I'd drop in and say hi, let everybody know I'm still alive. Will try to be on more often now. Things have settled down a little bit. Okay having trouble with my ticker, what's the website again to fix it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
