china

thanks linda your right they should have more involvement for the emotional effect. welcome all newbies

val, i guess they need a vein to put the iv in and the medication. mine keep blowing up. ya should see me i have dark black marks all over me they tried at least 9x's. four different people. ok ladies had a very bad day today. very busy at the store, then while at his friends house my son and his friends decided to throw rocks and damaged the man a few doors down car. i was so angry with him i eat 2 damn peanut butter cookies. i was doing so good. how ever i did walk it off. and got by a$$ back on track with dinner and didn't have a snack. any who my sons friend mom and i agreed to split the damage. so my son is angry with me as i'm have him work the money off that im about to pay out of pocket. and all his games are mine for a month. he's a game freak. i thought about why i ate the 2 cookies and this is what i came up with. now that im calm the only thing i can say some thing was bothering me and i feel weak. not that im trying to make up excuses becuz im not. i f'ed up and let my emotions get the best of me. i was doing good. i did jump right back on program as i could hear all ya saying get your a$$ back there. so i went to the park and walked then eat a steak and med. salad and no dessert. and 2 16.9oz of water. im good now got my head back on straight. i decided to tell ya it was rough today.

ok im totally p'ed off. went have the stress done this morning and was at st.joe's ever since 7:40am just to have them tell me that they couldn't do the test. couldn't find a running vein. so as of right now no test. that was the last test needed for dr.h. i could just scream. ya know i was so mad i wanted to eat a few cookies but, i didn't instead i ate a salad and jello. oh yeah according to there scale i have droped 6lbs in 5 days. but, im gonna wait to change my tickler as i was told at dr. h's that there scale is the only one that matters. so i have to call there and see what else can be done or can they give the test at a later time. love ya china

have been eating alot of chicken and veggies. and alot of water. i she gave it to me also. just alot of the things that are on there i dont eat. but, i can do chicken. and steak some times. gets alittle hard to cook 2 seperate meal for you and for the family. but, im gone hang in there as i really want this.

give me some suggestion on what u eat

ok kaybug, just read you have a health problem so that changes things alot. you said he is now more understanding. that is good i can be worked out. mines wasn't. nothing wrong with having to talk to some one every now and then. your right its hard on both parties. but, if he makes you feel funny they talk to him. so he can understand your point. my ex wasn't willing to talk just wanted thing his way so i sent his a$$ packin. but, i see that's not the case with your hubby and you. it doesn't sound like he knows how you feel about what he said. talk to him. sorry for the misunderstanding.

hi kaytiebugs, i know how you feel as i have been there before. you have a right to feel that way. i couldn't get over what was said to me tried to deal with it for a few more monthes but, it was just making matters worst. went from having sex almost everyday to maybe 1 a month. we weren't married but, had been together for 5 years. i took my baby and left. why becuz in deserve more than that. plus i didn't want my daughter to think that it was ok to focus on ones weight. i said to him i supported you throught 3yrs of not having a job. you have the nerve to tell me to loose weight or you would leave. no you dont have to leave me im already gone. like i said it took time for me to reach that point. till this day there is still that hatered toward him for the way he made me feel but,i have to get along with his norrow mined a$$ for the sake of my daughter. i told him he is a good father but, he was not a good partner. took him 2yrs and 4 women to say sorry. i have moved on im with someone that excepts me as i am. how dare your husband say this. ya took a vow for better or worst. what if the shoe was on the other foot? in my opion your hubby seem selfish. there is bigger things in life to worry about. people chang everyday some for the good others for the bad. what if you told your husband if he ever starts to look old you will leave how do you think he would feel?. i think you should tell your husband how he made you feel. he might not even know he hurt you but, he does.

ok here is what has been going on with me, on 9-10-08 i went for my first consultation it was alright once i got weighted i learned i lost 2lbs. was happy with that. met with the nurse p she was very nice told me that all test were done but, i need a stress test done. then she informed me that i need to lose 39lbs before surgery. that was alright as i thought it would be 50 she said i have to come back to see the dr. 10-28-08 and to try and lose as much weight as possible so that the dr. can scheduale the surgery. i said that is 6wks from now. i asked if anyone had gotten it all in - in such a short time she said yes or they had come real close. so i went and got the south beach diet book and will start walking in the park its about 3miles. will do that at least 3x's a week, then going to the gym and get a membership and try and do the tredmill and eliptical, then i bought the south beach workout tape to do at home maybe 2x's a wk. i have already sat down and made out a menu for the wk. so im gonna give it my all and see what happens. i go back and see the dietion in 2wks. so i would really like some infor on what you did and eat before you got band in order to lose the weight. dab i know that u have lost alot can you tell me some of the excerise that u did. i really want to get a date when i see the dr on oct. 28th. i gotta move it, move it:thumbup:
