Hello everyone, just an update! I did not get the financing for the Lapland. It was a real bad time for me.... I pretty much gave up on everything and wished the world would just stop and let me off. I am happy to say that I didn't give up, I started over and have lost 34lbs and am one doctors visit away from being taken off my diabetic medication. It is hard and I slip and eat a bowl of Ice cream but then I pull up my big girl panties and keep plugging along. I want to thank everyone here for teaching me some valuable things. I now know I failed those diets they didn't fail me, I don't look at the way I eat now as a diet but as a lifestyle change, 'I can eat whatever I want I just choose not to eat some things today'. I also learned that I am not alone in my struggles everyone here has been where I was and survived and so can I. Don't get me wrong it is still a struggle everyday and some days I fall and land on my ass and don't get up right away, but I do always get up eventually. I am so proud of all of you for your progress and/or just for trying. You took me in and helped me out when I needed it the most. I didn't get my band but I did get my help from all of you. I am on myfitnesspal as evlyn1971 come join me, you can encourage me and I can encourage you. Thank you Evelyn

Thanks everyone

I didn't know where to put this. I need garments to help hold in my belly and thighs when I exercise. Any suggestion?

I am not banded , still working in financing. But you can add me, evlyn1971

I have my appt. with the wlc. I have lost 11lbs since my pcp put me on 1300 calories a day.

My pcp recommends I get 53 g of Protein a day. Is it bad if I go over? The last three days I have gone over by at least 10g. I have not been banded yet, waiting for wl center appt. but my pcp put me on this 1410 calories a day and 53 protein. She says the more weight I loose the less risky the surgery. I don't want to mess it up. I have lost 3.6 pounds so far.

Do you know the amounts of cottage cheese? Or just the recommended serving size?

That sounds so good I am going to try it.

Another ? If your doctor tells you that you need a certain amount if calories per day and you take less is that good?

I just saw those combo packs at my local walmart, I don't care for fruit in my cottage cheese so I didn't grab any. I like chives or Cajun seasoning in mine. Try Walmart with the regular cottage cheese.

I see someone mentioned empty calories, what kinds if calories are best? I thought calories were calories. I just joined myfitnesspal and am looking forward to using it.

I actually had one if these mine folded up to about 12 inches wide and maybe 5 foot tall

Really........bullying........ Come on!!! I just read this whole thread and " my opinion " is that there wasn't any bullying just a few people trying to stir things up, because they didn't like what they heard. It's to bad that giving your opinion and advise makes you a "know it all" or a bully. Your allowed to have your opinion just as everyone here. That is why this is an open forum.
