Topic: RE: Still NOT satisfied!!!
You are not alone trust me. My original goal (along with my Dr's goal) was 150. When I got to about 160 I knew 10 more lbs was not going to make me happy and I lowered my goal to 140. When I got to 145 I knew 140 was not going to make me happy and I lowered it to 130. Now I am 3lbs from that and I am still not fully satisfied but I've come to realize I probably never will be. If you think of most "normal" thin women you know, all women have issues with their body usually. I think it is normal to always want to lose "just 5 more lbs" it is just realizing that we can't keep doing it. I have had many people tell me I don't need to lose any more weight (including my Dr) but I have a good friend who is a few inches taller than me and weighs 120-124 and I don't think she looks anorexic or anything. So I feel like if I got to that weight it would be ok. I am however NOT setting any more goals, my goal will remain at 130 and when I reach that I will consider myself "at goal" however I won't necessarily be trying to stop my loss either. If I lose a few more pounds after that it's fine with me but I won't be "trying" to lose them I guess....or at least that's the plan this week LOL.

Hi Pam, I don't think I am in real bad pain anymore during the day. I rarely take anything. But at night when my leg is still it just sort of gets throbbing. but I think that is normal at this stage. It seems to be getting better. Also I push a lot during the day doing my physical therapy and I think I wear myself out!!
Thanks for your message, and also Pam, for your concern. I do think this is normal though.

I SO understand. I'm 3 lbs from goal, and all of a sudden, it seems that 145 seems TERRIBLY overweight and what in the world was I thinking setting 145 as a goal...it seems I am the most disgusted when I sit on the toilet and see all this huge belly as well as my thighs that just hang down around the john. And really, whoever has heard that 145 is a slim person's weight? not me...needs to be more like 125. But of course I am hearing from everyone that I have lost enough weight. My BMI won't be normal til I weight 137, so I guess that's my next goal...
Thanks...

Are you supposed to be in this much pain this long after your surgery? should you call your doctor?
A couple of times, I've taken 1/2 dose of Nyquil, since I knew it would help me sleep. Now I am so sensitive to sugar that I took the dose and immediately lay down so I wouldn't get so nauseous and dizzy that I do with sugar. But it did help me sleep.
I'm sorry you are having so much trouble...I'll be thinking of you.

I have the Empire Plan, my doctor summitted all the paperwork for me. I had a few proplems with them but nothing major.

I would think the tylonal p.m. would be o.k.
I have taken excedrin for a few head aches. Maybe once in a while is o.k. just coat your pouch before you take it.
I'm sorry your knee is still in pain.
And you are not being anal about this.
