This "man" disappeared with everything I owned. In the entire 9 months of my son's life this db has not bought one diaper, not paid for 1 cent of day care and the only correspondence he's had was a long email telling me how much of a B**** I am and in that email not one time asked how his son...

I am so worried about changing my drinking habits (gosh that sounded horrible) I am a chugger. My brain makes me feel like im choking if I don't have a drink when I eat. I am a straw person. I hate ice touching me and getting liquids on my mouth. I know im a strange ducky.

I will for sure be investing in SPANX!!! Once I stabilize I will get some nips and tucks as well. I know I am going to have droopy skin im realistic about that.

yeah but that's part of the problem you can drink as much as you want but you have to remember the protein which helps to keep your full but after awhile you are wanting the chewing feeling.

I really hope that you plateau has shifted since writing this. If you are not losing inches the chances that you are breaking even with muscle is not likely. Not losing inches and gaining muscle would make you actually be heavier. I have to agree to break down every bite that you put in your...

That sounds amazing I am a PSL aholic!! I need to get some peppermint extract for some chocolate peppermint shakes mmm.

Try an unflavored protein powder that you can mix into the yogurt and your broths. Its mainly mind over matter.

I have 15 days until I start my liquid diet and I mean full liquid diet no veggies no yogurt just protein shakes, skim milk, broth and water. I have to stay between 500 and 700 calories and stay under 50 grams of carbs. So out of the 4-5 protein shakes I can make 2-3 with skim milk and the other...

Yeah I have been warned about the shoe thing which my feet just got bigger with pregnancy (boo!!). I think what really frusterates me is that my son's db (dead beat) took off with everything I owned including a huge closet full of clothes spanning from a size 32 down to a size 20! Sticking me...

I have to start a full liquid diet 2 weeks prior to surgery and my surgeon has clear liquids day 1, full liquid day 2-15 and purees/soft foods day 16-37(or 60) and then maintenance after that. That is fantastic about your diabetes. Hopefully with another 7 months out you will be able to...

One huge piece of advice is get the small round divider plates that are in the baby section (not the huge tray ones) in the big section put his protein and then veggies and starches in the smaller ones. I am a really big cycle eater as is and I don't like my food to touch (I know I'm weird) and...

Try switching things up. One thing I learned from being a gym rat is that our bodies adjust to change rather quickly. Even if you bumped up your calorie intake by 150 (adding a protein shake) it could change things drastically.

Surgery is 30 days out and I hate EVERYTHING in my closet except for 2 tops. It is very aggravating. Everyone is giving me cash for Christmas to buy pieces that I will need shortly after surgery and then further out but I hate what I have to wear now!!

Wow mine required 6 months of weight management but I don't have the 3 years of documented efforts.

journal your food for a week without any modifications and you will more than likely find your trouble area. The saying you can't out exercise a bad diet is so true. Once you find your week spots go a week with clean eating, meal plans ect and see the difference. Also if you are exercising try...

as far as what else is needed I would call the patient coordinator and get the very details on what is needed before you get approved.

I am on Medicaid and it took a week to get approval back

Oh Gosh the hoops I had to jump through.... Seminar Initial insurance verification Initial consultation and blood work 6 months of weight management PCP letter of medical necessity nutrition class psych evaluation cardiologist clearance endoscopy echo-cardiogram Insurance approval Pre-Op...

I am not a pudding fan but I have a huge overstock of baby food and since I have been working on getting the surgery I have been trying almost everything I give my son before I put his oatmeal in it except the peas (bleck black ugh) and the green beans because they don't look good. Almost...

There are some people that see this for what it is...a tool and follow the diet and plan to a "T" but then there are some people that see it as a free pass to eat whatever they want and find ways to get around the surgery. Both of my parents have an early version of the band one is just a basic...
