9 weeks out, 2 fills & 4.5 cc's & I had an episode from wings & sweet tea. Yes I broke the rules. So not like me. Dangit, I know better. Dry heaves got me scared enough to NEVER try that again!

I understand. my boyfriend had no idea until I lost enough to weigh less than him. he's been so supportive & said it doesn't matter. better health does :-)

I look forward to joining you!

Hello fellow teacher! Yes, that's Spring Break for me. It's fine though, summer will work out ok. Just a little frustrating. More time to change old habits I guess :-)

I found out this morning I've been approved for surgery! I'm excited....elated...scared...a bundle of emotions:blink:! The surgery WAS scheduled for March but has to be pushed back to the summer now. My doctor is vacationing during March so that accounts for the delay (and I'm a teacher so no other extended days off until summer) I need advice of what to do between now and summer! That's several months and I don't want to mess up the progress I've made so far. That's plenty of time to slip back into old habits after I've worked so hard to be ultra disciplined for the last few months. I think I'll be OK because I've been really focused in preparation for this life change....but advice please, encouragement...anyone else have to wait all these months/postponed? What did you do in the interim? Thanks so much as usual for all of the love, advice and support from all of you. This is a great site to laugh, cry, vent, etc.... Blessings, Nichelle

March 15th? That's my tentative date....well that or March 16th. Waiting on insurance to say either way. Are you excited, nervous, apprehensive about the liquid diet? I've been testing it out here and there. Not too bad.

I am also a teacher. Spring break bander too..on either March 15th or 16th. Bathroom....I agree! I think only teachers get that! Frito pies, Chili cheese nacho day, chicken nuggets/potato smiles or mashed potatoes...yup weaning off cafeteria was also hard for me. We can do it!:smile:

Well said! A very valuable lesson to learn. Taking care of ourselves, loving ourselves and being our best all around (but especially through better health) is so important. Learning this is what drew me to decide to take control of this endless weight loss cycle. I think most of us can say we have a similar outlook...

Great plug for the Rocket Blender. They need to hire you. :thumbup: BUT, don't be so hard on The Ninja:crying:. It's actually a great product. I own one and even owned it's predecessor. Excellent kitchen gadget:tt1:. Enjoy your shakes and your gadget of choice. Best of luck on your weight loss too! :ohmy:

~~One's best successes come after their disappointments.~~Henry Ward Beecher So very very true. My insurance asked for one more month of diet supervision. I was feeling sort of bummed but reading that gave me encouragement. I love this site! Anyone else going through setbacks when you're alomost there!?!?!:thumbup:

Word came today from insurance. Wasn't a no but wasn't a yes. They requested one more month with the nutritionist. I'm feeling a little discouraged but then again...not. It'll happen when it's supposed to I guess. I've just put in a lot of hard work (even though the ticker doesn't show it ) and kinda feel like this is a setback....oh well, protein shake in the morning....treadmill too!
