I did it! I DID IT! I did it!!
I actually hit a wall. My Dr told me that I was done and my body had shut down. I was at about 70% I think at that point. That wasn't gonna work for me, so I worked harder. I started Herbalife shakes and their nutrition, that seemed to be what helped me get the rest off. I wasn't eating any different when I stoppped loosing. It just quit. I don't know much at all baout the body bugg, but I stayed around 800 and lost quite well until the last 30 or so. Then I pushed nutrition and got it all off! Good luck!

Daily Calorie Intake
I always stay between 800-1300 calories. 1300 is a bad day, which we ALL know now, a bad day banded is better than a good day without the band! :rolleyes2:

Where are all the Michigan people at??
Ok, first I have to laugh. Yes, that is REALLY me! :rolleyes2: Thank you! Second, we need to step away from the sour cream, ranch, mayo and all of those things that are helping you cheat! Sorry to call you out sweetie, that is what it sounds like! If you are too tight you will tend to go for the things that are more fattening because they will go down easier! What are you REALLY eating? If you don't want to tell everyone feel free to PM. I will be more than happy to help. You can get back into the swing of things, but if really are too tight you are hurting yourself more than good. If you can only eat stuff drenched, you may be too tight and just trying to get by! That is not good at all. I really eat whatever I want, but I monitor myself not to WANT junk. I eat alot of chicken. Love it. Roast beef, soups. I can eat whatever I want now, but I make good choices. It is about retraining your brain and your body about what is good for you. I have gotten a bit extreme about it now, I cringe at the thought of junk food! PM me, I can help!

Do many people lose some but not all their excess?
I had this question awhile back. I had lost about 75% and my Dr told me that I would be done. HE told me that isn't possible to loose more than that, that your body will shut down. Well he is full of it. I lost another 30 without him! I think that you CAN DO it, no matter what they say. I think it is safeguard because it is the average of what people loose. I am now at 100% of my excess gone, so it CAN be done! Good luck!

In Lansing, anyone use Sparrow?
Hi, thanks. It took me a bit over a year, about 15 months. I work my butt off. I count calories, I eat about 800-1300 a day. I only eat about 1 cup or less at a time, even if I want more. I work out for about 1.5 hours a day at 4 am. I think the tip is to committ 110% a do whatever your bodies needs to loose! I hope that helps!

Check it out and you will know if it right for you! Good luck!

If that is what makes you think you will do it then go for it. But I can tell you that I AM SURE I lost more weight without the optifast because I was able to have surgery right away. But if you think the out of pocket will help you stay focused you should do it. It depends on where you are I think in your head. I was ready for it now, and wasn't wanting to wait anymore.

Hi I went to Sparrow, but I ended up not using them. They require a pretty extensive and EXPENSIVE pre op program. I didn't see the point! I ended up going to Hurley in Flint. I was very happy there, if it doesn't work out at Sparrow try there. You may be surprised at what all Sparrow actually requires. Good luck.

I did it! I DID IT! I did it!!
I started out at about a 1/2 hour per day. I worked up to the 1 1/2 in about 6 months. I didn't plan it it so happened that was able to workout more and I kept going. I started working out as soon as my Dr cleared me, and that was about 3 weeks post op.

Hey girls.... I am so sorry I have been a.w.o.l. I am having a very very tough time with life in general lately. Brandi--I am so sorry hun. I love you, if that helps any, we all do. I hope things get better for you. Claud--Call me please so we can talk! I want to know everything that is going on. I am sorry if I have missed anyone else with stuff going on, I am not adjusted to this new layout blah... I am having a really hard time girls, I need prayers. I am seriously to the point of packing up my kids and running away. I wouldn't tell anyone where I went, it is the only way I could ever get away. But what then? I will post on yahoo when I can. Life has spun so out of control for me. I thought being skinny would fix my marriage, it made it worse. :rolleyes2: And now I can't stop myself from obsessing about my weight. I need help, but I can't get it. He would know.....

Skin Donation
Just an FYI guys, anything taken out of your body or off it becomes no longer your property. SO if you have say your toncills out, they can and most likely will be used for testing, research ect. It is actually on every surgery waiver you sign. EVERYTHING is used in research, and your skin can be passed on even without your actual consent. You sign it over to them with the surgery. You can cross off that part of the waiver if you want, and it may or may not make a difference. I am donating mine not because I am getting $$ off but because it is the right thing to do, hell I don't want it back. But if they want it, they legally can use it even without me designating it specifically as such. (Hey, I am learning something in college! Thanks Bio Ethics...lol) :tt1:
