OK I will have to keep that in mind. I dont like laying arround. But I was thinking about having people in my house entertaining them. not me laying in bed. *gasp* mom would die if she thought I would be lounging in bed with people in the house. lol. Laps....I dont know about laps. but movement yes.

How do you feel about non surgical weightloss success stories?
Personaly I feel ashamed that I couldnt do it. But then I think well If I had the help and coching they had for the TV show I probably could of done it too. What about all the other people they had doing the program and only tose few were shown. show us the others. I have never lost more then 30 lbs on any diet. and that fustrates me to no end. I am a bit scared that this is going to be another failure in my diet life. I hate thinking it. but what if it is true and this dosent work.

How are you feeling as date approaches?
I was told in the seminar. if you have 100 lbs to lose they try to keep you at 1 lb a week 200 lbs 2lbs per week 300 3lbs per week. as a rough estimate. They said they dont want you losing too much too quick because of the malabsorption issues. My doctor told me that if I only lose 50 lbs and keep it off then she will be thrilled. I wont be but she will be. Everyone tells me you lose quicker to start off. then you have to really work for the rest. I dont own a scale and I am thinking I should buy one for christmas.

December Surgery Dates
LOL *breath* ok I want to have the house reallly clean so I wont be sitting in a room with so much clutter. And I am hoping my friends will visit me while I am recouperating and I hate having visitors while my house is a mess. and I need to clean up the cats room so If I miss a day or so from not being able to bend over that they will be ok. Just so much to do and not a lot of time to doit. Does anyone have the "must have" list or a link to it. I know it was on here now I cant find it.
