I went today to get weighed--DOWN three pounds! How can that be? I have been eating like a horse, and previously couldn't lose any weight to save my life--now THIS! I made another pie. Going back tomorrow, because the scale wasn't balanced--with quarters and big clothes on! I must get approved because I just gave all my clothes to Goodwill! Closet clean out week!

That is exactly what I was thinking! but who am I???? I am already extremely insulin resistant, so I am officially "pre diabetic" anyway.....argh. Well, enough pi&&ing and moaning about this--I will weigh in tomorrow and hopefully be over the hump and to a proper BMI, then there wont be an issue. Happy to report that it rained today and is much more comfy! Thanks again to all for your support!

Hi-- The nurse asked me to, um, "do what I can", then go to my local MD's office to weigh in, then have them fax the result to their office. So, I am paranoid and eating. And did I mention that it's hot here and muggy sticky? UGH! So, I will go weigh in tomorrow, with my heaviest, clunkiest shoes and change in my pockets! Crossed fingers! Kimberly

I really have been eating like a maniac--went over to my mom's last night and needed something she had upstairs--made her go up and get it so I wouldn't burn a claorie! We laughed and laughed! I have a better focus on this now--and appreciate your posts of support sooooo much. Off to make a pie....and eat the whole thing! Thanks again!

I am so stressed. I saw my surgeon and he said, with a BMI of 39.5 he would consider that 40 and not to sweat it. So I didn't. On Friday, i got a call from his nurse, who politely and in a round about kind of way, suggested that I GAIN SOME MORE WEIGHT to get my BMI up past 40 to qualify for my insurance! I said I would do it, but I am so depressed--the last thing I want to be is BIGGER! And it's starting to get hot here--ugh! Console me, please.

Hi All, I have been lurking here, reading and learning alot from all of your posts. Thanks for all the great ideas and boosts of encouragement, even tho you didn't know I was around! I am in the final stages of my insurance requirements--and then will have to wait for approval. Getting anxious and impatient! Hoping that the authorization process will go quickly and smoothly--rumor has it that my insurance does their auth's pretty quickly. Am dreading the summer social season--hosting two parties for family friends and usually, I just end up functioning as "the help" because i am invisible, or so it seems. I can't wait to see all those people AFTER my band and subsequent weight loss--their jaws will DROP! Some are meanies.......:cool: Well, thanks all again----my fingers are crossed for a healthy transition to a new me! Kimberly
