Topic: RE: Eating
HEATHER....I do the same thing...I think I can eat too much,but to date I've lost 80 lbs....Some days are better than others as far as the amount I can eat & the doc says if you eat too much you can stretch your stomach...I've lost 80 lbs since 03/26/03 & that that has really given me the incentive to "be good"...I have so much energy now & if you think about it i"m probably eating 90% less than I did before surgery (YA THINK?) GOOD LUCK!!!!445/365/150

Topic: Hi
8/20/2003 - A long time again I see. I now weigh 266! Only one more pound and I am in the century club! I am so happy about that. My life is a little stressful right now because I took my daughter up to Flagstaff, Arizona to Northern Arizona University last Saturday. I am so lonely. She called me Sunday crying and wanted to come home and it broke my heart. I wanted to go get her so badly, but I had to work and besides there is no gas here in Phoenix! It is Wednesday now and she is doing better and adjusting a little more. I still talk to her several times a day and try not to let her know how I am feeling. I do not know what to do with myself, I feel lost. I can't go any where because I don't have enough gas. I have never lived alone before and I don't think I like it. I hope everyone is doing well out there is obesity help land. Could you say a few prayers for me? Thanks so much....hugs from Phoenix with no gas.......Dana

WATER...WATER.WATER...That's what they told me at the doctor's office. Feeling tired or dizzy???? Drink lots of water. Are you getting your gallon of water a day??
Topic: RE: Cravings
I seem to have the urge to go to the kitchen after I walk on my treadmill also. I have taken up cross stitch. I immediately sit down in my recliner and start stitching to keep my hands busy so I don't munch. If after 45 minutes to an hour I still have the urge I then eat something small such as watermelon or some beef Jerky. But most times keeping my hands busy takes the urge away. Just a suggestions
Topic: RE: Is there ever an end to the bathroom trips???
Well it depends on what you are talking about. I go many times because of the amount of water I am drinking however, I really stay constipated most of the time. I only have a bm about ever 3 days. There are lots of reasons for it but have you checked your protein drink? There are some that have a lot of fiber in them to compensate for the constipation caused by the protein. Just a thought.
Topic: RE: How is it that.....
I dont know how it happens but it does.. I have lost 66 pounds in 5 months but i am in a size 12.. Now that in itself is amazing but just 2 weeks ago and only 4 pounds heaveir I couldnt squeeze into a 12 I had to buy a 14. So why with only 4 pounds lighter can I get into a 12.. Its a mystery!!
