It was nice of her to leave a note.

I am only waiting for insurance approval. My surgin said it is only 3 weeks after insurance aproval to schedual the surgery. (my spelling stinks sorry)

YUMMY! I just had my first flavored protein shake. It was Unjury Chicolate. I think I added more milk then called for but it was so good I will probably do the same thing again. It was really good! I am going to make sure to order it again. I am going to try the vanila next I hope it is as good.

I am so freakin excited for this band. I am hopping to get mine the week before christmas. It is like the only week I dont have school or some work thing. I am so happy this year I dont have any family arround. I think it will make my healing and eatting so much easier.

Congrats! that is awsome I am so proud of you!

why dont you ask them to go out for dinner. then They will know you can still go out with them. I know with one of my friends I didnt want to ask her to go out for food because she couldnt eat a lot of things. Then she called me and asked me out somewhere and we went out and talked about it. and sh told me she can still eat out just not the food she used to eat. So now we go out like we used to.

I went to the store yesterday and walked down the candy isle and didnt put anything in my cart. I was so proud of myself for that. I looked at stuff and put them back. I was so proud of myself.

I also do Tech support. I play with playdough and I have other toys that I twirl when I get irritated with a caller.

I am still waiting for aproval. Geesh the waiting sucks. But I have started the life style changes. I now take a liquid vitiman every morning and I start off my day with a protein shake or a protein smoothie. Since I dont usualy have breakfast. And I am going to the gym. Some weeks are better then others but I am going and that is what counts in my head. Now if they will just give me aproval.

Thankffully My friends of varing sizes have offered some old clothing that they have grown out of. So when I hit a size I can borrow or have a pair of jeans or a few shirts of the right size. Heck one of my friends has a size 20 dress a very nice dress too. I am currently at 30's right now. she said when I can fit into the dress she will take me out for a night on the town. I thought that was a great reward for hitting 20

Your still moving forward. I know that isnt much help but atleast your not gaining.

That is a very cute shirt.

I have a tendency to eat when bored....so I eat a lot at work. The play-Doh and toys like that are handy for me. The dried fruit is like candy for me. and a little goes a long way.

LOL YES! that is it on me it looks like my boobs have fallen and the shirt is going to choke me for it. I only have about 10 shirts I like 3 sweaters and 2 pair of jeans. I know everyone is tired of my clothing at work. But I refuse to buy nice clothes for a body I wont have much longer. (I havent been banded yet I am waiting for insurance approval)

I am keeping sunflower seeds at my desk dried aprocots I have something that boils water in the microwave so I can have hot tea. Plenty of water. OH yeah and play dough. when the cravings get me I play with playdough. Keeps my hands busy and the smell of playdough usualy keeps me from putting things in my mouth.

The thing that gets me is the funky gathering above the boob line. I HATE that like my boobs are that high

Yeah they are big but They have always been big...when I hit puberty I went from a swimsuit all summer to a B cup. missed all the pretty training ones...oh yeah and I was 10 first girl in my class with a bra. Fun.

Stay focused! You CAN do it!

I wear a 2 piece tankini. I find it is easier to get on. The top is like a tank top and the bottom is like underwear with more support I love LOVE them. I do alter the top a bit I just shorten the straps with a little hand sewing. I dont want my boobs falling out.

I am in my last "nice" bra in the correct size. The company that makes the bra I love stopped making it in 44F I can get it in only DD now it sucks I love this bra. I will be thrilled when I can get into a DD again...I have been a DD since high school only the last few years was I into F Damn every time I lose weight my boobs were the same. When I gain weight my boobs get bigger *sigh* that sucks

Shoot I will be happy if I lose a bra size. not too many but a few would be nice

A doctor had to sign a paper before I could even take the class. no matter the price. The place where it was held is a facility for physical training. the pool was heated it was really nice and it was a bonus that it was not expensive. You should ask your knee doctor about something like it I am sure most hospitals have something like it. I HIGHLY recomend it.

I will have to think about it I am not quite brave enough to send off pictures of me in spandex. I havent been naked infront of anyone but my doctor in almost 4 years. So taking pictures is a big risk for me. But I will keep it in mind and do apreciate the offers. You all are the best.

I dont have that many pictures yet I am just trying to figure out how to do it cause I saw someone elses pic with the transparancy thing over the top and it was so cool seeing my body shrinkas a visual. So I can do it in Photo shop? Cool I will have to check and see if I have it.

I want to get pictures of me on those transparancies. so I can lay one over the other to see myself shrink. Does anyone know how to do that?
