Ms skinniness

I will have a Margarita or a Mai Tai about once a month. I an only drink so much before I get a bit tipsy too.....

I am so glad I was able to reconnect to this group. I didn't realize what a support you guys have been in my journey....... I finally got the lap band thing changed to gastric sleeve..... I don't see the 0 warning point thing under there either anymore. Yayyyyyyyyy! I don't like punitive stuff. Today is a new day and I am going to take the most advantage of it by just having a wonderful time with a deal childhood friend of mine.... Planning on eating healthy too. Cheers to everyone!

I know that I had a food addiction going before surgery. Now I can't indulge like before but I can get in the horrible sliders. I am totally discussed by the food industry these days. The way food is processed sets people up for obesity. I am a therapist and I recommend to all my clients that they go to more of a paleo type of eating if possible. The food industry adds so many discussing chemicals int he processed foods that do contribute to people's addictions. Sugar, fat, and carbs are mixed together to appeal to our addictions. Fast food is easy and convenient and very tantlizing. I don't eat anythng that has corn in there due to beef are fed corn to help fatten them up for market. I haven't found myself with any other addictions coming my way, except for stepping ont he scale daily. So I am working on continuing to eat healthy. This is for life.

i agree but I didn't read anything about an exclusion I wonder if I missed it.

No pic! How I want to see how beautiful you look in a bikini.....

It's too plain. I do love the logo though. Oh well, it is what it is. and if they would get my WLS of Vertical Sleeve correct, I'd be totally happy.

Yes I can't see yours on my page......Your still #1 in my book.....

That's good to know. I thought it was just me.

Hope they get this fixed soon......I'm going to check out obseityhelp.com to see what they're platform is doing.....See you all later.....

I'm a little confused with my numbers on the scale...... Yesterday I weighed in at my all time lowest of 137.2 lbs and wanted so bad to hang on to that #. Today I have to admit that the scale went back up to 145.6 lbs.......So frustrating..... So do I chose to believe in the #'s on the scale? Sometimes. It does give me a guage to check what I'm eating and to get back to MFP for logging my food intake and to make the proper adjustments...... We can do this......and must......we've all worked hard to get here.

Georgia why do you have a pic of another person on your signature? This is purely a mess..........

I can't see yours on my page.....can you see mine? I so hate this!

I agree with everyone here. You can still lose the weight, just get back to the basics of protein first, veggies, and a few starches. The weight will come off, it will just take more time. Time to keep yourself focused now.......you can do this!

Yes but your also a Bariatric Master! Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!

Alex or Susan, why am I in the Lap band category? I have the vertical sleeve........

I can't access our 5:2 group. Any suggests. FYE I see you as a Vegetarian sleever and beneath that is lap band. I wonder what mine will say? So how do I get into the 5;2 group again, any suggestions?

Does anyone know what 0 warning points mean? and why is it under my title and no one elses? Confused......LOL

Ok thank you Gamegirl for the feedback.....Is this better?

I had Kaiser and they referred me out to a surgeon and the hospital kept billing me for the surgery because Kaiser wouldn't pay them. So I called Kaiser and they told me not to worry about it, there were some errors in the billing. So I recommend calling your insurance company and discussing it with them. It might be the same thing. I do know that Kaiser doesn't pay what the hospital was asking. They paid a lot less.....

I agree. I hate this change too. I can't wrap my head around how it would help to combine different wls forums when each surgery isn't the same. I was a Kaiser member and in our orientation everything was directed at the gastric bypass surgery which is totally different than the sleeve. Now I'm trying to find the 5;2 group with no success so far. Oh well. BTW I do love having a sparse closet with clothes that I truly love to wear....I love my jeans especially and my body image with clothes on....not so much naked though....LOL

Have you ever tried a Dump Cake.....It's delicious....What's a mug cake, now I'm curious....

I did good on my fast yesterday.....I was a little over, but still managed to drop my water wait. Are you guys still getting cold after all this time out? I find myself really cold still....arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Anyways, have a wonderful trip Georgia! And watch those baked goods everyone......LOL

take a deep breath and remember that you do have a medical necessity with your hip. what is your BMI? Do you have any medical issues such as diabetes and/or sleep apnea, high blood pressure? Talk to your PCP and see how he/she could help you.....

I confess that I've been in a depression lately. I confess that I've been eating really poorly, a lot of sugars and carbs..... I eat when I'm angry, depressed, etc..... I don't exercise like I should......

FYE it sounds like this sight is going to get more complicated now. I like it being specific to one wls. Now there's going to be 3? Maybe even more.....I really do hate change though... Today I'm fasting and gonna get back on track. Yesterday I had a bit of an anger going on and bought some of those nachos, cheese, and jalapenos with a latte. Got some mini reese's bits. Didn't eat hardly any of them and ended up with a stomach ache. The things I do to myself......Gotta get in charge of my emotional eating.....So today is a new day and it's time to clean the refrigerator and cupboards out. I do know that I've been feeling distant from everyone lately and after watching the you tube by Dr. Wahl's, I will be revamping my diet. I had a bit of depression going on so perhaps I need more greens and veggies in my diet.....
