i use to drink a 12 pack of soda at home a day not to mention the soda during work.....i dont even look at soda now ....but i can drink beer off the tap......no problem i do notice bottles beer seems more gasy..

ok i am at 5lbs weight loss i am at 180 whoooo!!! i am coming 160.........i am working hard at the gym cant wait for my first fill!! i am watching what i eat ......

i am so glad someone started this !! I caught parts or her show about her life style changes what ever !! Part of her success is her weight !! she yo-yos up down she conects with people out there ...if she did the lap band or any weight loss surgery how would she keep reinventing herself and new life style changes ???? i also live a fairly well off life and that did not help me lose the weight !! if anything it help me gain it ,dinners out trips with never ending food ......but anyway you do need to mentally be ready to say enough !!!

Iwent in aug to the seminar i did the pre req that the ins requires my doctor signed off on the six wek diet that is req( by the way ) the bariatric doctors have the forms that the req the pcp to fill in for the 6 month weight lose program so dont worry about what to fill out !they acctually preferre you use there forms! atleast that how it worked for me!! hang in there ......it will all work out! i cant believe it 12-09-08 is my surgery date!!!!!!
