TheCapn Welcome in challenge....i added you to the list

i JUST BOUGHT THE NEW QUAKER OATS WOMENS HEALTH IN vanilla CINNAMON AND IT IS AWESOME.....(and this is coming from a person who normally hates oatmeal:lol:) Just thought id share that with my fellow bandsters

i would like to find out this answer as well

33 MORE POUNDS TILL I JOIN THE 100+ club!!!!

Everyone up to MamaJava updated... And mamajava don't worry i keep everyone updated on the main list (1st page and post) ... everyone should be just pasting their own stats and i and them to the list or update it almost everyday..

Yes i did realize how close we are to March and i freaked out... I cant believe it is almost a year.. You have a great idea to go back and act like a newbie following every rule.. i'm joining you in this goal... March 15th here i come!!!!

I freaked out when i went without a period for 10 mths:confused:..... id rather deal with the cramps and headaches then to go without a period....:eek: No periods puts us at a higher risks for endometrial cancer... according to my doctor... she says at the very least every 2-3mths is ok

i tend to lose more during my periods because everything i eat sends me running to the bathroom or gives me horrible cramps to where i cant move.. so i avoid eating at all... i just make sure to keep myself hydrated... but the week before my period is extreme bloating and i tend to gain....Gotta love those periods!! :eek:

my dr. put me on Yasmin.. to regulate the periods.. and she said she doesn't really believe in prescribing metformin if my sugar is under control... d (but i have to see her like every month or so to check my sugar levels... and if they are not under control... walgreens here i come)

UPDATED THE LIST UP TO WOMBAT... Everyone is doing so great already!!!!

ok soaf9 i added you in

ALL MY PREVIOUS DOCTORS WERE LIKE THIS.... AND i always went to get a new one after a while of thier degrading manners... my current pcp... well didn't want me to have surgery, and was completelyagainst it... she even argued my surgeon.... (thank god he believed in me and did the surgery anyway)... But i decided to stay with her because i wanted to prove to her how successful i could be... and how people could benefit from this surgery... (she doesnt believe in WLS) Maybe future patients of hers wont have to argue with her... And almost a year later she is thrilled at my results!!!:frown: OMG........He so deserved every word... I'm sorry i hope your new PCP is giving you the care you and all of us deserve... Dr. are supposed to be compassionate and respectful towards us... not to ridicule us for our weight.

Updated Up To Hazel...

i lost like 8lbs in 3days right after surgery

Thanks!!! And in my case i cannot wait to reach the 100lbs lost mark... Way to go Juli!!!

:lol:I got a fill yesterday and guess what... :ohmy: I AM NO LONGER CONSIDERED MORBIDLY OBESE!!!!:smile::smile:

So i went to visit my surgeon for a fill yesterday.. and he said i reached a milestone in my journey.. im no longer considered morbidly obese... He said our next goal is to hit a BMI of 2930 and thats when bandsters usually start looking into PS ... My question is when did you all start considering PS.. and actually looking for doctors
