This must be about the time that by port flipped and leaked the fluid out of my band.

@Maddysgram Do you have something other than LB? My revision is for the LB port.

@SolracSpree the death is still under investigation, here is one article if you want to read what happened. http://www.dallasnews.com/news/metro/20130719-texas-giant-to-remain-closed-as-six-flags-investigates-woman-s-fall.ece

Info taken from the following website: http://women.webmd.com/tc/polycystic-ovary-syndrome-pcos-topic-overview

For reasons that are not well understood, in PCOS the hormones get out of balance. One hormone change triggers another, which changes another. For example:

• The sex hormones get out of balance. Normally, the ovaries make a tiny amount of male sex hormones (androgens). In PCOS, they start making slightly more androgens. This may cause you to stop ovulating, get acne, and grow extra facial and body hair.
  
• The body may have a problem using insulin, called insulin resistance. When the body doesn't use insulin well, blood sugar levels go up. Over time, this increases your chance of getting diabetes.
  

There are many people on these boards that do have PCOS. Your nasty posts don't bother me. I post for educational purposes. If you don't like my posts, don't read them!

I know until they decide to fill my band, I am back on my own.

I live four hours from the city, therefore they can't just call me when they have an opening. Thanks for the as usual negative comments from this website. I have not given up. It seems that True Results has given up on me. There is a huge difference. I paid for the band because it was suppose to stop the cravings, it did for the first few months. i plan on calling this office and talking to someone else in the morning. I am also a teacher with high stakes testing this next week and I can't take off work this week to make it to my apt. But it has never taken 6 weeks to reschedule before.

Thank you Dylan. I just feel like the accomplishment is coming to an end.

I drink 1 to 2 liters of water a day. I eat about 70 grams of lean protein a day. The one thing I can see is that I maybe eating to much because I am not waiting one minute in between bites. I did check my normal lunch menu and my sodium intake is very high. I only have twenty minutes for lunch. During that so called lunch I am working with my students that can not get help at home on the homework and kids that are tired of the "drama" that a Middle School has during lunch My kids are use to my eating habits. But I know I am not concentrating on the way I eat during that time. My meal is planned and comes from home. But, yes it is processed lean meats or microwave trays. YES, they have been approved from the NP that I see every two to three weeks. I was also recently told that I had Swine flu and some other Virus that is as bad as Swine flu this winter. That dr. thinks some of my struggle is coming from body being sick. I have struggled since the week I threw up for three days and had diarrhea for a week. I keep track of my foods with mynetdiary on my phone. I love Edamame...is this healthy enough to eat a half cup for one meal? That is something I can easily eat at work.

I am not offended, but I am discouraged. So helpful words are more helpful.

I ordered 12 boxes of Girl Scout cookies without thinking...oh dear lord why wasn't I thinking? I can't eat those. I am going to hand them to my kids and say eat up and then take them to my kids at school and say eat up!

I love everything about food, accept my fat tummy, arms, legs, back.....

Very positive to see!

I love it!

I couldn't imagine going through this with an unsupportive spouse. I hope things are better for you. If not do what you need to do for yourself!

I think i had the flu and that was why I got stuck so easily. No solid foods for a week. Today is my birthday so only a little ice cream and hummus for dinner.

Glad to know it was not just me Saterday. However I have lost 4 pounds since Saterday!

Sounds like your brother is going through hard times right now.

Don't feel bad, I don't talk to my brother either. I find him embarrassing to have around, he stinks, he is almost always is dirty and he stinks.

Total loss for this wee is 3 pounds, so I am not to concerned anymore. As for processed foods...when you are feeding a family of 7 sometimes you have to!

Looks like my protien was too low as well. I still have NOOO idea what else I could have ate while we were camping and unable to cook. Maybe tuna.

What food would you suggest taking camping? Keep in mind we are under fire restrictions and can not "cook" foods.

I normally keep track of everything on my phone, however my cell did not work at our location, so my app did not either.

My NP told me at my visit that it is best not to, she said more than anything it causes extremem gas pain in the shoulder. I grew up in a small town where the water was not safe to drink. (Before bottled water was cheap) My mom bought 49 cent 2 litters of pop for us drink so I have always had pop to drink. I will most likely stick with my water. I never drink beer or any other alcholic beverages so that is not a problem. I have not had a dr. pepper in four weeks and honestly I feel pretty good about it!

All things happen for a reason. It is good you will have time to concentrate on you.
