Mrs.Prisses

Best most honest tip I have to offer is this; sleep much. If you keep really busy during the day then make your bed time early as you can, you will do better (or at least it helped me). When you wake up, you will be so hungry that the liquid diet will taste awesome and fill you up.

Thank you! I have been reading the blogs in regards to insurances and approvals and whatnot...the results are soooo far from typical in any one case! My biggest thing is that I just don't understand the whole process. My case manager from the surgery clinic JUST NOW asked for the phone number of my nurse case manager from BRS (a service thru the insurance @ UHC). I actually was so nervous about it yesterday that I sent in the paperwork my danggone self...to BOTH of them. Then emailed them each others contact info. Overkill? Will the deny me just because I am pushy or approve me faster to get rid of me?? I don't know...I am just like "SLEEVE ME, DANGGIT!" :smilingface (52):

Doing Supreme 90 day (like p90x)...today is day 9... I am 3 1/2 months out. I recommend this workout to anyone whose surgeon will approve it. You have got to push yourself. It is hard...I am so sore...but already see results. Always ask the surgeon before starting any exercise program.

I think that is the best NSV I have EVER SEEN!! LOVE IT

@ Trying to focus on my health...not looks...AMEN!
I really appreciate that comment. Thank you for the reminder.

I feel you. But, there comes a point when you have tried all the foods you want to try and they make you sick. Then food becomes such a turn off. THEN the work begins. You have to find a balance; eat nutritious foods...and WANT to eat them.

Okay, so now that my chins are joining forces and I can wear a decent size clothes without worrying about looking like a humped back whale...MY DANG GONE hair has thinned out so much...and got shorter. What the heck? I have always had lots and lots and lots of long thick hair...not so much now. Also, This has come at the wrong time. I am feeling really insecure about my loss. I lost 66 lbs. That's good. But I have like 100 to go... and my loss has slowed down to a crawl. So, I thought if I did my hair, nails, all my Prisses stuff I love, then I would feel better...but my hair won't do ANYTHING. It is flat and limp. I think it has thinned out quite a bit. No I am starting to have acne too. I feel very down about my looks..and I am Mrs.Prisses, danggit...I know looks aren't everything but when you have been so large, you kind of like to look your best. I feel discouraged for the first time. I am loosing like 2 lbs a week. At that rate it will take a year to get to my goal. Did I mention, I have bad hair now...and acne?
Someone PLEASE post the BOOT CAMP...i need it. Thanks.

Sorry, I can offer no solution to the nausea...I am still in the lab working on that one. But, I can tell you that I feel your pain! I was having a lot of nausea and my doc told me that I had something called 'water nausea' where I can't have plain Water. Also, more sensitive to smells and even textures. Plus, I can't eat cold food. Its mostly just a matter of finding out what works for you. Its trial and error. Remember, if you have concerns, always consult your surgeon.

Child, BREATHE! Relax...it's okay.
First...DON'T HATE YOU! God created you and he don't make no junk!
Second... Think about before you were sleeved...if that's what you ate in one day, you'd be like "Dang, I hardly ate today!" It's okay. Nobody expects you to be perfectly strict with yourself to where your living like an obsessed maniac (and the repetitive negative self speak and inner monologue is our red flag). So now, just stop and breathe and remember;
1- your NOT on a diet- you are living a healthy lifestyle complete with healthy eating choices and a realistic and healthy self image.
2- you are making progress and growing. Anything that's not growing is dead. Your fully alive, which means sometimes your going to put things in your mouth you may regret later...and that's okay! You will continue to do your best to do #1.
3- The sleeve is only a tool. You also have exercise, prayer and meditation, supportive community (VST!), and mostly ENOUGH LOVE FOR YOUR LIFE THAT YOU DID SOMETHING SO THAT YOU COULD LIVE IT IN A QUALITY MANNER...
So no more hating out of you, young lady!

​Mine is...watching my chins consolidate! AND being able to play sports with my husband and son, instead of sitting around watching.
