LOL I do sarcastic humor I will join you

thanks Blaze.... it gets confusing reading the reviews and such.

Come on you can do it...... I have 2 weeks to lose 10lb min only 1000 cal.... I have lost 7 in a week!!! you can do it. Just stick to the plan. I am using a white board on my fridge to track my calories so I know where I stand during the day. Hang in there!!!

Awesome! That must feel incredible!

that is great it is all worked out... Now you can focus on healing! Congrats

my mom will be my biggest problem when and if she finds out.... she has always ragged me about my weight etc. She has not seen me since this summer I had only lost a couple of pounds at that point, now that I have lost as much as I have so far and still losing as this is preop time , hoping that I will have lost more round about Mid Nov... her birthday is the 15th.... so I will have to show up and bring her a present and make the formal invite to thanksgiving dinner even though I know she will decline.... She only lives 35 miles from me but we are not on the best of terms. So hopefully I will get her attention about all the weight loss and she can find her way to say something positive to me, but if she finds out "how" then the negative will fly! She would totally be the one to announce to the table and be loud about it etc. GGRRRRRRRRRRRR

LOL I think this person is a poser LOLOL J

I am looking ot buy an Elliptical, I don't want to spend more than $1000. for it, preferabley no more than $700. Does anyone have an recommendations for a brand and/or model? Specific features that are important? Thanks for your input.

I was wondering what the issue was with rice, thinking it was small enough etc, I didn't even consider the expanding factor. How about short grain brown rice? Or does that behave like the white rice?

Do you know what your triggers are? I have only recently learned of some of mine, I am trying to figure out tactics to keep myself on track. Over the years I hit the magic number of 169lb and I freak and self sabatoge... now that I know that I am trying to over come the reason. new self talk before I get there. I have been going to a counselor who among other things deals with eating disorders. I think it is helping me, she herself is a former binge and purger.... I binge but cannot throw up! thank God. Funny because at 42 I have finally learned WHY I do it, but the ticket will be HOW to I stop the response. I used to think that people at my age who had revelations of things that were suppressed after so long were full of BS but now I understand first hand that it really happens and how it just turns your world upside down.

A bunch of martyrs! Funny cuz as ya'll said... Tracey will NEVER sacrifice herself for the good of the team or even her 'BEST FRIEND' if she has one. And what is with that 2 faced smack talkin'? I wish she was voted out... but I guess it will be a while since she adds to the drama of the show. Pony up Losers and fight for yourselves... don't be a Martyr. This is more than a game it is a live changing experience.

I finally made it back into Onederland! 194, while on the preop. I haven't been here in Gosh more than 10 yrs, closer to 20 with my highest weight being 235lb. I can see such a bright future as a pull out from my mixed sized closet smaller jeans. I am going to have to hit up some thrift stores next. As the clothes get too big I am putting them in a pile in the corner of the bedroom .... to be bagged up and donated. What a wonderful feeling! One more week until surgery!!! I am so jazzed... and so glad it is before the holidays! Never thought I would say that!:thumbdown:

WoW I can't believe how many of us are getting banded in Nov! That is so Cool! I am so excited!!!

I read your blog..... like it.... I like the way you write!

I agree with you I wanted her to stay. She looks so AWESOME now! Using her painful experience and using it to impact others lives.... Just look at her NOW ... she was ready to go home! WTG ABBY!

DO NOT BE SATISFIED THAT THEY FINALLY RESPONDED THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE BUSINESS AND CARE. It should not have to be such work to get the responses. What will happen if you have a complication after surgery???

ya'll hit it on the head, Coconut... move on. Get your records, you are obviously not important to them. If you have so much trouble before surgery can you imagine what may happen after??? Find someone who takes care of their patients... this is a life long commitment with an on going need for maintance and support. I switched surgeons for many of the same reasons and more. I was thinking I would just change dr after for fills etc... many surgeons do not want to take on anothers handywork. SO GO STAND UP FOR YOURSELF AND GET YOUR RECORDS. It really is the right thing to do.

Obesitylaw.com I never heard of that ... that is a great idea.

forgot about that one :cursing:

LMAO, can't wait to post something cool here.... Wishing I could truely laugh my a$$ off!

how about egg salad with olive oil mayo

I get a lot of ... look how much weight you have lost on your own ... you don't need surgery.... Heck I don't want it to return with a vengence in 6 months... thats my "MO"

maybe because you put milk in it there for it is no longer a clear liquid, or because of what caffine does to the metabolism... or because it dehydrates you ??????????? I switched to decafe months ago and my boobs no longer hurt... BONUS ;O)

I too think there are great suggestions above, also consider a news outlet and or the BBB PGAMIKE has had a similar problem. talk to him
