Amber sorry to hear about your bad day..keep your chin up it wil be all worth getting to date of surgery,,why are they making you lose so much before surgery , is it because of the BMI you keep talking about. I heard there was a limit that clough will do surgery for, if I remember from one of our meeting, you can do it dont give up now..

Hmmm just wondering how we can help you get that 10 pounds off. Are you holding fluid at all? I would avoid sodium like the plague. Maybe drop your calories just a little maybe 1600 a day. Get some Chamomile tea that will help you get rid of any excess fluid it is a natural diuretic. Do you have any walking videos or a treadmill? I am thinking although swimming is good exercise the walking may be better for raising your heart rate.  Just brain storming here but I really want to help.

Amberlee, I know it is hard.  I had a hard time starting, but didnt' give up and finally lost 6 lbs. then was up to 12 lbs. and had 3 days of cheating and gainned 6 back, now since sunday I've done very well again and can't drop those 6.  I think it is taking my body time to kick in and i'm not going to cheat cause I can see now it will take a week for it to start to loose again.  I need to go see my nutricionist next week and am suppose to have lost 23 lbs. I'm in deep doo dooo tooo!!!  but it is for my own good and I cheated myself, so If I want to do this I need to really be honest with my self and buckle down,  If she don't approve me, I will be very upset with myself.  I blew it!!!  So, my advice Amberlee is don't give up, be honest and write everything down and you will get there.  Maybe you and I will get there together.  Keep the faith...
