Topic: RE: How YOU doin?
I am happy with my decision. I have one regret.. not doing it sooner. My goals are not getting met as quickly as I would like to meet them. Some weight gain (unexplained) and some really frustrating stalls have put me in a bit of a funk.
I get depressed when I see people eating things that I used to enjoy. It's hard for me because I had given up so completely that I would eat "junk" until I felt sick. And now I don't touch it AT ALL. I am happy with the weight I have lost BUT would like to see more come off. I am really quite stuck in the 183- 186 range.. I've been fluctuating here for 2 weeks! I met my goal of 182 but haven't seen it on the scale since that day :( So I am pushing myself in the gym and making sure I eat nothing but protein and sugar free snacks to help me through the tough times.
Overall I can't complain. When have I ever been able to say I lost this much weight in such a short time? I think it's fantastic.

Topic: The Biggest Loser
I watched this weeks Biggest Loser TWICE. I am just amazed at how much they lose in a week. Even with my tool (RNY), eating right and working out an hour 3 times a week-- I can't seem to lose 3 lbs in a week! I have got to step it up. I have been trying to eat just protein and cut down on fats. This time of year it is especially hard because of all the chocolates! Ohh and did I mention I loooove white chocolate covered pretzels! Oh man... now I want some! grrrr
Are you watching The Biggest Loser? Did you vote? I really would love to see Danny win. They all have done fantastic but he has made the biggest transformation in my opinion. Amanda looks fantastic! And Rudy needs to keep that beard off, he looks much better without it.

Topic: RE: Stressed & Need To Vent!
Misty, you're doing just fine. Don't worry about it so much, we all fluctuate in our weight and none of us are perfect in eating the exact amount that is recommended. It's all a matter of the type of food we are eating. I can't eat very much "meat" but can do some damage on cottage cheese.
In regard to the stress, just try to calm down. Stress is not a good thing whether you are a WLS patient or not. Breathe and take a deep breath. Things will get better, but you need to focus and realize that it will get better. :-)
Sounds like you need to stop beating yourself up girl. hang in there :-) On the other hand, it's certainly ok to vent :-)

CHI CA we all go through..
But the great thing about it is what you just did.. VENTED!! Let go and don't let it control you.. If you feel that you need additional support because of trying times try a support group.. or do something that may ease your mine and stress.. I actually been going through a lot on my job... HUGE Hater's.. then I go home to a TEENAGER who sometimes feels she knows best for her self!!.. I was really stressed so.. I put some energy into other things such as giving some time to BIG BOTHER BIG SISTER, and the FOSTER CARE SYSTEM IN LA.. sometimes you have to find an out let to let go for a min. You have done a tremendous JOB on losing 100LBS.. believe me you are not alone when it comes to making the wrong choices sometimes!!

well i figure out why the weight gain again I got my period again. I just finish the provera on Tuesday. I just had it 2 times last month and it was only 2 weeks ago I just had my 2nd one and here we go again. What the provera brings your period again. I thought it was to stop your period. As he had me take it to stop the bleeding. I feel like crap this morning. It was weird last night all of sudden I had bad cramps and wake up and here it is again. This really sucks. No wonder i can't lose much lately it seems all I get is my period all the time. this royally sucks big time. Still weigh in at 206.2 today .

Topic: RE: Competition
Keep up the good work. I am also feeling flabby and fat. One thing I was upset about was when I was scheduled to have my surgery in May and then it was moved to the end of July. Reason being is that I know that it is difficult for my body to let go of weight in the fall and winter months. And of course my body always wants to eat more. I am like a bear that way. And I was furious...
We are all different and yes, I feel depressed also that I have not reached that under 200 lbs weight onderland. Everyone around me says I look great... people want to hire me..people are treating me better...women want to be around me more...just the other day a young woman wrapped her arms around my waist and gave me a big hug with her head against my chest out of the bluet..this has never happened to me. So why do I feel like such a loser? God only knows. I am down from a size 48 trousers to size 40s now loose. But a size 38 is still a little too snug...so I think for me I am getting the feeling like when I was a size 46 before my surgery and my trousers would fit loose but I couldn't get under that weight and felt fat. Now I am a size 40 and get that same feeling.
I also can't see my face because I have to be on stage December 10Th in LA ..SO I have to have a big beard...
Keep your chin up and your eyes forward...we are experiencing something wonderful and new...
