1st Fill on 3/28

I will get my first fill on 3/28 and I'm sort of nervous. I'm still having the pains every once and a while, plus I really don't eat a lot now. Right now my body has came to another plateau,:angry so I have to change up my routine. I have eight more pounds to lose to meet my March goal of 15lbs, but I know I'll lose more than 15lbs this month. Anyway, all is well...until next time.   Be BLESSED!

Diet Pills

I will be starting Adipex again on tomorrow just to jump start my weight loss. My claim is still pending with UHC, so in the mean time I've started cutting back on my calories and carbs. Adipex do make me sick if I do not eat right when taking them, so I will make sure I eat enough of the right foods. Other than that I am just waiting to get approved.   Sheila Be BLESSED!

Pre-Opt Phase (again)

Hi Everyone,   I have to get this weightloss thing going again. So I've decided to do the pre-opt diet. Even though I go for my 3rd fill on 7/31 (who knows what will happen). I haven't had a fill since August 1, 2007. So I must say that I've done pretty good!   Okay today is my 1st day of liquids:   SF Jello Better Than Boullion broth Protein Shake   Be blessed!

So far I've lost 4, but more importantly I am 5 pounds from 1derland!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: So, needless to say I am eating A LOT less and working out VERY HARD. Menu---4/16 & 4/17 Breakfast: 1/2 of 1/3 less sugar Frosty Flakes w/ 2% milk. Lunch: Chips Dinner: Nothing

Trial and Error

Okay late last night I did eat fried smoke sausages in the red skin after my husband left to hang out w/ some friends. He would not let mess up this liquid thing...they were SUPER GOOD!!! I am wondering if I do the liquids and some kind of meat, if that would be okay? It will be like the Atkins diet, no breads or starches...any way I may do that. I will check w/ my care cordinator Tuesday to make sure. I did walk over a half of mile last night on my treadmill in 15 mins (didn't even break a good sweat). I felt good afterwards, but today I walked a little over three miles in about 45 mins at the park...it felt good to be back at my favorite park. My mom has never walked with me before and she walked a mile and a half:clap2: . Just last Sunday she was at the ER bent over in pain related to her back! Well as for my 2nd day of the pre-opt thing (YUCK), I've had one New Whey Protein shot w/ half of cup of skim milk blended w/ice, three sugar free popsicle (yum) a cup and a half of beef broth w/ Ramen noodle seasoning (left over from last night) and that's it! I will have tomato soup later and sugar free jello.   Be BLESSED,   Sheila:)

It's Still There!

Well after using different remedies for what I thought was trapped gas. The only thing so far that has helped is the meat tenderizer, lemon juice and pineapple juice mixture. I did buy the Papaya Enzyme supplement by American Health at Wild Oats. I got the "super" Papaya Enzyme Plus and I can't tell a difference yet. I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but I just made another cup and I put two of the Papaya Enzyme tablets in it. I'm just trying to maximize my results, anyway I hope everything is going good for everyone else. This too shall pass.   Be Blessed!

Hope everything is going great for everyone, type you all later.   Sheila:bored Be BLESSED!
