Chilis- only ONE more day!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH for you!!!! You didn't have to to 2 replace meals shakes and then 1 high protein meal 2 weeks before?? Lucky!!! I feel like I have another UTI so Im going to try to get to the drs to have it checked out and get on the meds- I surely don't want to have...
Hi mom of 8
I haven't had my surgery yet- but I have a FB friend that had it in Jan this year- she was loosing and for awhile- then it just stopped- some weeks - she gained!! Well she hung in there and Im proud to say that to date she has lost over 85 lbs!!!! So hang in there gal- it will come...
Feeling overwhelmed-
Im at the high protein/low carb part- The 16th I start my 2 weeks of 2 shakes and 1 protein meal- so I know what you mean!! At first I had a headache!! So much to take in and think about- yuk!! My surgery date is the 30th. I like muscle milk- I have also ordered unjury in...
well now you need to be gabby and tell us that are about to go thru the surgery what to expect!! Please~~~ Feel better soon!!! And may the epic weight loss begin!!!!! Your weight is where I am at now and we are both in Fla so keep in touch!!!!! :cool:
Aw so sorry Nancy!! I lost my job over 3 years ago and thus began my downward spiral- my health issues got so bad I couldn't go back to work- I feel useless and we are living paycheck to paycheck- so I can understand where you are- I didn't feel like eating either- but I haven't had my surgery...
Thanks Frank and Sharon- guess I was just hoping for a bit more support- I do think my dr has a website and after the surgery you can join- maybe that will help as well.
Thanks Karenina- I still wish people would respond- I mean having gone thru it or being right there near the date of your surgery and all the feeling you go thru and when you figure out something good to eat or have a recipe to share- you think people would want to- in my old age I have become...
DMG- thank you for the response!!! IT was appreciated!!! I don't have any family to announce to except my husband- who tries to be supported- but he works nights and long hours and sleeps during most of the day- so I really have no one. Then my 3 kids know- the oldest a lawyer doesn't talk to...
well its nice to see that when someone posts something a lot of people respond to them- guess my posts must be invisible just like I was on FB......... hmmmmmmm............ my life story...:(
Hi DMG!!! I know exactly all the emotions your feeling!! I also see why you have to have a psych eval- because as your approaching the surgery date- you feel crazy!!!! I know I do!!!! I also know the feeling of being told you are morbidly obese- fat just sound better!!!!!! I haven't been on this...
I have actually gained a pound since starting the diet!! That weight was lost in Jan when I had the horrible flu, the bronchitis then the stomach flu and I did manage to loose the rest on my 3 months of dieting. I can eat a small steak or some chicken but its better with a nice baked pot. I just...
oh I know chilis- I would kill for a piece of pizza!!!! Its funny but I never really wanted that much in the way of carbs- I mean I did have a piece od pizza once in awhile or some pretzels- I have IBS- so sometimes most of what I eat just makes me sick- but when they tell you no carbs- your...
yes it does Frank! Thanks!! I know I read in my paperwork the surgery is done behind the liver and it has to shrink so its easier to get to. I trust the dr. He has been doing these surgeries since 1960 I believe and he is one of the leading one in Orlando/Ocala area. Not much of a bedside manner...
girl we are never too old to be healthy and fit!! SO no its not a waste of time!! Im 52 and with the weight feel a lot older!!! I know all the feelings- trust me and then some!!! I have to do low carb, high protein diet- yuk!!!! But it is what it is and right now Im only 23 days til my surgery...
I have heard that just as with regular diets- there are times the weight doesn't budge! Go more by how your clothes fit!! My friend on FB that had the surgery lost sooooooo slow and even gained like 13 lbs - but to date she has lost 80 lbs- its like one day it just started coming off little by...
