  1. My Bimini is spoiled as well. I think they respond to being spoiled so well, that you just can't help it! I always refer to her as "my spoiled dog, Bimini" But I absoultely adore her. I don't have any children, so she is it! I am glad you "get it" some people don't understand. Yes the preop diet sucks, but you are right when you are looking hot in your 7 jeans, it will be soooo worth it!!

    Day 5

    Wow! It really is getting easier. I think blogging really helps as well. This morning I was a little hungry, I had a cup of cherrios and an egg. I feel fine right now. I think I am going to have to deal with the emotional highs and lows of the whole food issue. It is much easier to deal with if I am not hungry. Hunger + not being able to bindge on favorites= DANGER! :thumbup: Anyway so far so good, I have all of my food here with me for the day. It is really a process to eat right, you have to prepare your food ahead of time! What a concept:lol:!

    I am a caffiene addict-HELP!!

    I can see by your ticker that caffiene has not affected your weight loss at all! You are 3lbs BELOW goal! Excellent.:smile2:

    My first month with the band

    Hi Gigiswords, Thanks for the words of encouragement and support! It seems as if you are doing very well, weather you have lost 39 or 43, that is GREAT! Keep up the good work.

    Days 3 and 4

    I did not blog yesterday because I was depressed. It is so weird to be depressed over food! I ate well, napped, did some homework and then I went for a walk with my dog, Bimini. The walking did help, it was a beautiful day in Atlanta. I just felt sad that I have to make these changes for life. I know it is the best thing for me, but it is like saying goodbye to a friend that has been around for a long time. But really for me food is a frenemy! I love it but if I keep up the same habits, the food will kill me eventually. So, yesterday, while walking, I took some deep breaths, stretched and really made myself be in the moment of walking, and enjoying the sun, wind and air. When I got home I was sweaty and hot and of course hungry. I ate a piece of pork loin, salad, broccoli and a small amount of brown rice. And I physically felt better. It is the head stuff I am going to have to work through. This morning so far, I had cherrios, yogurt and I am dying for a cup of coffee! I do not feel hungry at all. That is important because if I get hungry I end up eating everything and anything I can get my hands on. :rolleyes2: Once again, I just have to take it one meal at a time, we shall see how it goes.

  17. Hey Katieo-

    My self imposed preop diet is tough. I eat a lot of chicken! My surgery date is 10/14/08, not too far away. How about you? Your insurance does not cover?

  19. Hey Trina,

    Good for you!! You gotta take care of yourself, girl. I am doing well, I have placed myself on a high pro, lo fat, lo carb, hi fiber diet. And, well it's going. I am mainly trying to accomplish 2 things, one, get used to eating every 2 hours and two, flush my body of all the bad stuff I have been eating! I am getting excited, only 19 more days!!! 10/14 here I come! By the way, I agree with gg your children are adorable and the little one is a TRIP! She needs to be in a commercial LOL!

    Have fun at the reunion...!

  20. You are right, it is time to move on. That MD has major issues for real. He needs to give up WLS as a specialty and/or go into counseling to figure how to best deal with his issues.

    Day 2

    I am at the end of day 2. I did okay, I started obsessing about food, but not just food the bad stuff, chips, cake, cookies, ice cream...."sigh":sad: I slept for about 3 hours, just to avoid it. I did walk the dog and watched a good show, but this is sooo hard for me. I think it is because I have failed so many times before and the little voice in my head saying "you may as well wait for the surgery, you are not going to stick with it" ARG! Those damned little voices! Right now I am just drinking a diet coke and typing on my blog. This is a calorie free activity. I will write more tomorrow.

  25. Hello,

     

    I understand, the hair loss is pretty daunting. But I have heard if you stick with the vitamin regime, the loss will be minimal. I have had to cut my hair because I permed it and dyed it a reddish blonde. I don't have to tell you...THAT made it fall out. LOL!!
