good morning!!!

hi everyone. went to the MD. yesterday. new weight 269. i havn't weighed that in 10years or so. very exicited. I still have cravings for Pizza, burgers, (I thought this was going to go away.) Md.'s say its all in the mind. The mind is very strong , trust me. But i don't attempt to eat. I would just like to have a salad. But , I will continue to follow my diet, I want to loose the weight. I paid cash for my surgery, so thats also a big motivator. I 'm not going to spend all that $ and cheat on the diet. I would never be able to stay on a diet, without this surgery. Im so glad i had it. Im going to try and start walking on my treadmill today. Denise and Tina, i hope ya'll update soon. I would like to know how ya'll are doing also. Can't wait till Kat is able to join us.. We will continue to pray for your appeal Kat, I feel you will get your approval.

Rhonda, I am sooooo happy for you!. I was 177 at my last visit with Dr. Lavin I have not been that weight in a bout 10+ years. I know what you mean about the cravings. I didn't have them at first but I do sometimes now. Like you I paid a good bit out of pocket even though my insurance covered most of it, so I am not gonna mess it up. I have not weighed since going to the doctor. I work somewhat across from where the office is they told me I can come in a weigh anytime but I just don't have the time to go. I hope Tina and Denise update us soon too. I feel kat will get her approval too. take care, Chrissy

thanx for your feedback. Im glad your reaching your goal!!! keep up the pace! your friend Rhonda

The hungry thing will pass I'm sure. I never really felt hungry and half the time I forget to eat. Doc says I'm burning 2000 calories a day and only taking in about 800, he said that is fine as long as I get my protein so I concentrate mostly on that. I updated my profile this morning if you want to read about my doc's visit last wednesday. Tina 336/259/145

Rhonda, You are doing great!!! JC
