Glad you are feeling better- hang in there !

HW 290 First baratric consult Weight 282 CW 243.8! (mediterranean diet success) I Just submitted insurance for surgery due to my diabetes, severe insulin resistance and joint pain. And after my 12 hour night shift i ate a boston cream pie donut, then shopping, then breakfast at burgerking, more shopping, and finally pie and coffee in a restaurant before i went to bed! Gotta have the surgery to stop my crazy binge behavior! And to tell the truth, the pie and donut dont taste as good as they used to. I dont want the surgery but i know i need it. Help me be strong!

I am having doubts too- i love this mediterranean diet, barely touch bread anymore and my portions of meat are smaller. I fill up on vegetables. Love zucchini and mushrooms. Lost 35 pounds in4 months. Kinda feel like maybe i could do more on my own, but its a whole hundred pounds yet - and i have to take 25 to 75 units regular insulin per day, and my depression could kick in anytime, at which time i get frustrated and just eat everything in sight again. Sometimes i feel i have to go out for a burger or a donut. So i am there on the bench with you, waiting for the call.

I didnt have a real orgasm until i was in my 30's! Too nervous? I dont know why.

I wish you all strength and courage in your separation or divorce proceedings. I have been blissfully divorced for many years now, at first i grieved a bit, but its normal. But so glad i kicked that man to the curb. You all deserve to be treated well. I think women give more in relationships than men do, at least its been my experience.

That is frustrating. Hang in there!

I have been heavy most of my adult life and am not sure i will know myself after i lose weight- will i know who i am, how to handle new attention? Does anybody else feel this way?

Does anybody's hair turn gray after surgery? Just asking ...

Yes my fitness pal was the first thing that made it easy to keep track, made me accountable- what a great tool!

I have been eating ground turkey (Preop) for months now, i love it! The best seasoning for me is MAGIC - Prudhomme's Poultry Seasoning - green top glass bottle. I simmer frozen turkey patty in Water about 20 minutes to thaw it and cook through, til water evaporates - then fry it in a little olive oil. I buy 2 pounds and freeze it in divided portions in baggies. It digests so much better than hamburger for me . Sure hope i can handle that after surgery. I dont know how any of you are getting your Protein in- from the posts you should all be bald by now! LOL! Not trying to be mean. I expect to be right there with you soon, i hope.

Good to know, i can have a little drinkypoo after? ? How long since your surgery?

Sorry the stepson is such a loser. Guess he is angry and never learned to respect others. You are so lucky to have a baby to grandmother.

Oh thats sad. One of my favorite doctors suddenly got cancer and died last year- he was the sweetest man...

Cute top, and the pants look great too

All men are afraid of catheters. Tell the doc, he will respect your wishes.

Thats the one! Thanks!

I can't wait to be cold! I am always hot! And the skinny girls keep cranking up the thermostat. Skinny B-s!

Constipation, muscle cramps, fatigue are low potassium symptoms. The heart is a muscle.

Let me know how you keep that tortilla from being soggy- mine is too soft, not like a crispy pizza. I tried whole wheat pita too, it was maybe a little better, but not much. So now i just lay pepperoni slices in the fryn pan and top with cheese and veggies. On medium to low heat, crisps up fast. That mozzarella cheese gets crispy. I dont really miss the crust anymore. I made it with ham & pineapple the other day.

Welcome Tammy! Good for you! Thanks for sharing!
