Just curious if anyone else does DDPYOGA/YRG? I've had the program since March & I love it!!! I had to take a break due to a few issues, but I'm restarting to get as straight as possible before surg next month. 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

I tend to go more for yoga pants (fitted around thigh, looser from knee down) but I have some jogging (& danskin too) that I'll wear at the gym. All black (lol IS there another color???) with a long tshirt. I've gotten most of mine at target & kmart but my old navy ones are nice, too. My gym wouldn't notice sweat pants at all, but i personally won't wear them bc they are so heavy & itchy. 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

WTG!!!! I can't wait to see Onederland! I hope I can get close by my next bday (may 21, surg dec 26) 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

My packet from NUT says Water, coffee, tea, crystal lite, Jello, SF Popsicles.... But personally, I have a bit of a funky tummy & coffee seems to exacerbate it, so post-op I'll prob wait quite a while to test it out, if ever. 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

I can relate. I had a terrible marriage, and everything I tried to do to better myself, he'd have a snarky comment about. I had considered RNY at the time (bc VSG wasn't an option) and he fought me the whole way, even talked down to me about "normal people don't need outside help or Groups or meetings...they just quit whining and DO IT." I wish I had just done it for ME, anyhow. It wouldn't have fixed my marriage, but it might have prevented 6 more years of self-esteem issues that *maybe* were weight related. I can't really tell you what's right for you, but if you think you have even a pinch enough in you to be strong for yourself...do it. You might surprise yourself at just how much power you still have inside you. :} 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

I've been documenting mine in a blog on wordpress... I also started a twitter for it. My name there is also Mwrarr. I was waiting to start vlogs until I had a date/approval, so I guess tomorrow I'm going to do the 1st one since it will be 1 month pre-op. idk when I'll post them but my YouTube is HeartSteakAlaVodka. My blog is Mwrarr.wordpress.com I'll look you up! I'm =^..^= on blogger, so if u see that symbol in a comment or something, it's me. :} 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

I can't wait to... NOT stand in front if my closet for half an hour trying to magically manifest a cute outfit NOT decline invites NOT hide behind hoodies, hats or averted glances instead of making eye contact because in my damaged brain, I'm convinced that people are just trying to justify judging me. NOT avoid family trips. I SO want to take my kids to Darien Lake next summer. I avoided it this summer bc I LOVE roller coasters & waterslides, but I can't do those anymore...for now! NOT feel awkward in my body in EVERY moment/experience of my day! NOT be a slave to whatever crazy diet change I'm in the grips of "today". To not have to think about stupid foooooood so much. Grrrrrrz. NOT hear the applause when I try to jog &/or just walk too fast (or during certain adult activity positions lol) NOT hurt/ache so much. I know there's a possibilty that it won't necessarily improve w/wt loss, but I'm STILL HOPING! :} 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

Nice to see you here!! :} 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

FINALLY!!! Another Dec 26th-er!! :} 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

BWUHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAA!!! I laughed so hard I dropped my iPod, & cackled into my ribs trying to pick it up! And had to avoid the convo with my kids...who I'm sure would found the advice just as useful. Hahaha 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

I'm the 26th! :} Not sure how I feel about the timing of the date, but I'll definitely take it! 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

This is one of my biggest worries, even as far back as the 1st informational session. I've been working on my weight steadily since 2007. I have been at my current stall since Jan 2009. I've tried every plan imaginable, even changing to strange & prescribed diets along the way. My metabolism was so messed up that when I started seeing the NUT last Jan, I gained 15# by following her advice (increased intake/types of foods). And in 9 months, I have not lost anything. I'm so worried that the surgery won't work, either. But entirely hopeful.... 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

Omigosh I love the mini crock pot idea. I have a full sized one already. Love the ice cube tray idea...ingenious! I have a ton of cream Soups in the freezer already, but maybe I should take the time to thaw them & freeze into cubes before surgery. 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

They submitted 1st thing Thursday morning (15th) & I called member services to ask yesterday afternoon (21st). It was still pending, granted, but she was able to tell me that nothing was missing, etc. 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

Just found out yesterday--Dec 26th! I had to contain myself bc I was at work, but inside I was doing backflips! 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

Have you been on the "preg & VSG" board yet? They have some good topics over there & at least one currently preg sleever that I know of. I also have decided to do surgery 1st & shoot for baby after. I did 2 overweight/obese pregs & it was awful. Maybe I'm just not made for preg but I'm hoping that I can have a normal one at a normal weight. :} best wishes!! 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

I called to check on my submission yesterday, & she said it is pending but in good order & to expect an answer by end of next week!! She also leaked my surgery date to me....DEC 26th!!! (idky my surg office didn't tell me before, but omg anyway!) YEAY!! 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com

I haven't gotten an answer yet myself, but I know with hospitals in general, if a longer stay is needed, & the dr submits it, they won't deny it. 347*294/284/135 (*347HW/294SSW) | (twitter) @Mwrarr | mwrarr.wordpress.com
