Crimson Tide

My wife had her first fill sat. in Mexico. She was starting to get discouraged because the scales haven't moved much in a couple of weeks. I reminded her she has lost about 40 lbs. overall. I told her even though the scales haven't moved doesn't mean she's not loosing inches. Already from a size 22 to a 16. To put things in perspective, I read where a man said If you only loose 1 pound a week thats great. TAKE A POUND OF GREASE AND PUT IT IN A PAN AND MELT IT. LET IT COOL AND THAT'S WHAT LOOSING A POUND OF FAT LOOKS LIKE

Weigh everyday. Strange thing, here lately I wegh more in the morning than I do when I come home from work in the evening. Food and TV are not a good combination. Need a new hobby.

I'm having surgery in April and I was wondering what is the average time off work before you returned to work. I work in maintaince and it can be hard some times . Idon't want to stay out too long but I want to stay out long enough. The personel lady where I work said I would be out at least 3 weeks she thought. Is that about right?

Having surgery first week in April. My name is Greg and I'm from Alabama (Roll Tide Roll). I work in maintaince and I'm 40 yrs. old. I weighed 342 back in october but i'm down to 314 (310 before the christmas dinner that I tried to eat everyyhing in sight). I've been reading the threads for a couple of months but I decided that reading wasn't enough because if you actually post your weight you will work harder to loose it . Support does help but your the one that has to work at it. The post you had about the competition was great. It gets that competative drive going. I have 3 months 1 week to surgey and the real journey begins. I'm trying to loose all I can before surgery but after surgery the competition is on. I plan on kicking butt and taking names. lol Hope everybody had a great Christmas and wishing you a hppy new year. :thumbup: :smile: :Yawn:

Having surgery April 6, 2009 in Mexico. I really enjoy reading all the info on this website. I have been doing really great on my pre-op pre-op. I started out 342 but I'm down to 310. Christmas Day the old self came out and I tried to eat the whole house. But, I plan on getting back on track tomorrow because I have 3 months to get under 300 before surgery. :tongue2:

Hi new to forum.I'm going to use Dr. Ortiz in Mexico the first Monday in April. My wife used him in November and I was really impressed with the place . It is not your typical clinic it is an Obesity Center. They have preformed thousand's of surgeries with no complications. you decide best of luck|||| :tongue2:
