Candra... have your pcp document whats happening with the pannus. If there is medical reason it can be removed by plastic surgery but it must be treated and documented.

Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning the devil says~~

"Oh Crap, She's up!"

Sister

Life is too short to wake up with regrets.

So love the people who treat you right.

Love the ones who don't just because you can.

Believe everything happens for a reason.

If you get a second chance , grab it with both hands.

If it changes your life, let it.

Kiss slowly.

Forgive quickly.

God never said life would be easy..

He just promised it would be worth it.

What the hell can be done about these headaches - seriously - I can't get a job like this! I get em way too often and the vomiting with this band can NOT be good. The Maxalt usually does the trick but it makes me so damn sleepy. Fickin Frack! WTF! I can no longer be told it's my diet because i'm eating the good stuff I'm suppose to be eating, I can no longer be told it's my weight because I'm losing that and they are still here NOR can I be still told that it's depression because the shrink cleared that up - I've been brain scanned and there's nothing they can see so WHAT?????????

Wuuu Saaa - and exhale!

Are the Migraines related to your hormones? Or could you have an allergy to something that is triggering them?

I get migraines if the lighting is too bright or from driving at night or if I haven't eaten. Luckily they are not as bad as yours - I get the aura and then sometimes the headache, sometimes I just get the aura. Makes me nauseous.

I had 5 shrimp for Breakfast and 1/3 cup chicken for lunch, plus a small bag of cornnuts (220 cal) and one mini Snickers.

I can't make the bridge walk as I am deathly afraid of heights and couldn't walk out on to the bridge for any amount of money. Thursday doesn't work for me either as payday isn't until Friday and I barely have enough gas to make it to work until then and no money left

so, Pammie - when are we gonna see you? they've looked for allergies and things that may cause them but they have no clue - they need to keep "practicing"

Jes, eat it girl, you're still losing - that's more than I can say for myself! I don't know what the deal is!!! I've been walking (except these last couple days - today i got up and walked since the excederine alloud me to pick my head up off the pillow! My PCP said it's ok to take it! But didn't over do it cuz I can still feel the pressure when I move too much. I say off with my head!

Candra-Wow he is a keeper and very patient!!

ok everyone!! I dont know what the f is wrong with me..Ive had this craving for sushi and I finally went and got some I ate all 8 rolls!!!!!!!!! I have been doing very bad!!! I feel ashamed and disgusted all at the same time. I dont know what is wrong with me?!:scared2: I need all your support right now:frown: I wish you lived closer to me...and to make things worse..we went to Red Robin last night and I had a hawaiian burger no fries..omg that was so yummy.. my husband called me today and said he was concerned about me. Is this normal? I am so angry at myself..I'm also hiding from everyone I'm not answering my phone am I just trippin?:(

yeah, maria - I've had the MRI done and they can't find anything wrong with me - apparently, it's all in my head - get it LOL. Stick to Protein and 3 meals per day - I know its hard but if you need something else have a large GREEN salad with olive oil & wine vinegar - not balsamic - too much sugar or you can use lemon juice. But do what you can to stay on track and under goal. When I did weight watchers I lived on green salads - usually just a head of lettuce, bell peppers & cucumbers - sometimes mushrooms because I'd eat all my points by noon and that was all I could have after that LOL. It works

Nicollie - binder is boring! Look at the test on the end for bandsters not RNY - and that is the one you'll have to give to Liz at the case managers appt. other than that, Just read the 1200 cal meal plan. By the time you get banded you will know everything in that binder just from these gals here!

      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?

      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.
