hey d thanks for sharing.

i am working on week 3 myself and on mushies also. can i ask what type of you are eating?

congrats on the great attitude because i enjoy reading your blog.

jim that is so great. i am so happy for you

jim............look at the weight you have lost??? how much???

your co-workers/friends, see you every day. they cant notice how much you lost because they see you every day.

you are going to lose weight the same way you and i and everyone else with a weight problem will......... 1/4 pound at a time (the same way we gained it)

jim people in this world are not the nicest and not very caring. some may not have good sense to know better than to ask stupid ass things. please try and ignore them.

i myself told many people. i myself today started crying because i didnt want to be a failure at this too.

we sought help. we did it. we are doing it.

keep going. please.

because i am gonna need you to be there for me later down the road.

i am soooooooooooo happy for you. what are you going to be eating for your mushies?? what were you doing prior to this?

hey mylynn

hate to say it but it sounds as if your (friend) is a smidge with the green eyed monster in just about all areas of your life.

you are trying to improve YOU. you are doing it. right this moment you are getting closer and closer to being who you want to be.

pity her if you must but do not let her control your mind/heart in making your life better. you are fighting for you. you are winning. dont stop.

hi dianne, id would try watermelon or maylox to help with that....dark urine means your are not drinking enough. you need to drink alot. this will regulate you.

laura, my mom has called me that and worse........i understand what you are going through. food will pacify you but eating junk food will only comfort you for that moment. then you will fill bad. please dont do that.

i am sorry there are people in this world who are so hateful and cruel. since she cant say i am sorry, let me say that i am sorry. your gorgeous inside and out. now, then, forever. rise above ignorant people.

hang in there baby. i am thinking of you.

i am right there with you. i have surgery on the 6th. and i am liquids til then........trust me i am on that OMG phase right now. i am on day 4........the first two days were the worst. i wanted to just give up and say what the hell. i know its hard. damn hard. but u can do this. look at what all you have done to get here??

i am right there with you...u need help/support. i am here.

sounds like some guy is alittle insecure of his lady losing weight and looking hot. he is an ass. i am sure you are gorgeous. ignore people must be ignored.

hope your nutritional appt is as helpful to u as it was to me. I am like you, over the top excited too. Once I get done with my sleep test, I am hoping they send results to my clinic by next week and then schedule my surgery thereafter as I have been approved. I will be your biggest cheerleader

your picture looks great. I can see a difference. and you will in 1 derland before you know it

good job Jen

dont forget to thank yourself for making that decision to make yourself well. I am so very proud of you. I know you will be successful (and come August, I will be right behind you)...

I agree with everyone who responded so far. The lap band appears safer and with less risks. To me, once they cut your insides, there is no going back. I researched and talked and made up my mind for the lap band because I know this is what I want to do and with this help (of banding) and my willingness to be healthy, I know this was the choice for me.

Again, I can so relate and thought similar to what you wrote about it being an easy fix. Its not. My doctor and nutritionist told me that it is up to me if I want to be successful. That is exactly what (I and you) will do. Be successful...praying for you.

excellent JOB

enjoyed reading your post. Where at in SC? I think what you said about making life canhges was dead on. thanks for sharing.

I am also in your shoes. My surgery (will be july) as I have a 6 month waiting period (which I dont understand) but anyhow..Stay positive and you can do this. Loved your first post.

Its wonderful. You start any time and you did today. OUTSTANDING

Your husband (besides yourself and your doctor) should know. That is your support system.

As for those office people, I am going to keep this short and simple. I know your feelings were hurt, but let them say what they want. ITS about YOU. Regardless of what you did to lose the weight, it is working. That is what matters.

after conferring w/Tricare numerous times, they told me to go ahead and get all my pre-ops out of they way and then have the clinic forward to them for approval. I am hoping to get this lap band in place as soon as I can. But I have started my journey now and that band will help me. I am here for you.

good job jason

Hi Tina. I am on Tricare also (my hub is retired Air Force). Tricare told me there is not a waiting period but my bariatric clinic is saying that there is. So I am getting my pre-ops out of the way and doing everything I need to so my doctor can fax all the paperwork to Tricare once I have completed all the items they told me. (and if it I have to wait 5 more month, then so be it). But it is a learning process. Step by Step.
