  1. Has gone from a TIGHT size 26 pants, to a size 10/12 in 12 months. <3 my sleeve!! :)

  2. Coworker: No disrespect, but you need new pants. Me: Why? Coworker: Because they are too big on you, girl!! Me: But I just picked them up a couple months ago.

  3. Sometimes it seems that everyone thinks they're a doctor.

      yes google makes everyone experts ;)

  4. The only reason I haven't posted anything is because I have slipped. No, I haven't gained, but I sure haven't lost either. Just staying at where I am right now. One excuse I have is stress. It has been a stressful year and not letting up. I know that exercising would help me to get back on the losing end, but just having the energy to exercise is a problem. I think I need intervention, quite honestly.

      Feels like a bee sting and it's over, the worst thing about mine is he makes you raise your legs off the table a few inches I'm not in that great of shape yet.

  8. Im VERY discourged right now! Iwas told by my Dr that i need to be down 12-20 pounds before my surgery and Im only down 10. His asst has told me that he is known for postponing surgeries if the required weight isnt off. Not to mention my surgery date is Wed. 31st and i ran outta protien shake and went and bought isopure and it is GROSSSSSSS. Cant even stomach the smell. I dont know what to do. Maybe stressing will cause the weight to fall off !! Any suggestions?? Oh, also bought a whey protien and its way too sweet! Feel like im wasting money, and the shake from my dr is 65.00

      you have 3 days my Dr. had me on high protein slim fast all liquid. I didn't have a set weight loss amount my suggestion is to do all liquid and only water and excersice every day, when you go to weigh if you do so in the am hold off on eating and drinking until after the weigh in it's just 2lbs it could come off as water weight over night.

  11. I've exceeded the goal weight that my insurance company required me to lose, I still have 3 more months to go within my 12 month weight management requirement, I'm praying that I am able to maintain and keep this weight off without gaining any of it back!

  13. goodmorning everyone i have a question i dont know how to post in the forums i got a paper for my pcp dr to fill out saying if i had any exercise ot drug therapy for losing weight my pcp dr is on medical leave and what if it doesnt get filled out do i have to then do a weight lose program for the gastric bypass team or will this paper stop the process its for medicare approval out past try's to lose weight

    1. amponder

      I am not real sure how to answer this, I had to have my Dr. fill out a paper once a month for 6 months and was told if I missed a month, or went over by even a day I'd have to start over, but when Labor day rolled around and I found it was going to be one day over I called my insurance company and they told me they'd make an exception for holidays, so my advice is call your insurance company and see if a different Dr. can fill it out or one of her Nurse Practitioners.

  20. Ran a 5K on Friday (As training) then a 5K plus 1 mile warm up - That was probably too much, but I love that I was able to! Still stuck at 196 lbs... Ai ai ai..

  21. I am very excited! Tomorrow my new sit down elliptical and tread mill gets delivered. The next day my trainer comes over to help me figure out a routine that works for me!

  22. Going to the Hunger games opener tonight, pretty excited. But not excited about all the food there... So tired of this liquid diet.

      Yes I think it's ironic that I'm having surgery tomorrow and the movie I've been dyeing to see for a year now is called "Hunger Games"

  24. Feel kinda bad I'm nearly done with the pre op diet I'm close to my surgery but today was hard, went to mom she was cooking the most amazing smelling food, and my 13 year old son had a pizza he came over and began waving it in my face I yelled at him a little too much just glad when this phase will be over.

      Lol it' wasn't the food so much as trying not slap my kid not eating doesn't help my temper.
