Support group at Bangor

We had two new  members  at support group last nite and they both looked great for just being out of surgery on Monday.

Kimkel was doing great.  

Debbie S was also there and looks  amazing.  six months out  and doing great.

We had a good group for a tuesday nite.

The  Bar Harbor group  should be going  in a couple of months.  That will help all of you that are in the  Ellsworth  area.


Take care all  \

Next group is   April  1   and is  a clothing swap.

Hi Patty,

I went last night and wanted to catch you. I was wondering if you could tell me about your asthma? I have pretty severe asthma and am hoping that the weight loss will help control it better although no one I have talked to so far seems to know much about it. Any advice/information you can share would be helpful!

Kimkel was released today and is doing well!

See you at the next support group!

Thanks,

Kristie

  Thank you Kristi for wheeling me down to the support group.  It was awesome meeting you.  I walked my hiney off at the hospital so I was able to go home today.  Still trying to figure out my pouch.  My belly has been making lots of noise.  They had me try some vanilla instant breakfast and I was able to have amout 2 oz's of that but that was in about 45 to 1 hour.  I just took  my time drinking it.  Just sips here and there.  At lunch time they had me try tomatoe soup.  I had a few tiny spoon fulls and my pouch got a little grumpy from that so i told them I wold not eat anymore of that and told them to bring me down somemore instant breakfast.. I drank about 1 oz of that.  Supper I had 1 oz of protein shake.  Not too certain that my ouch liked that much.  I think it is still debating. LOL  

Thanks I was feeling pretty depressed that evening, after my visit with the nutritionist. I am now going to the pool at P.E.A.K. and working out in the weight room doing a water walking class , walking laps on my own, and then coming home and walking the dog two miles. I am also trying to follow th book they gave me but I don't eat half of the stuff they use as examples so I find it hard to do exactly as they say.

I am going to lose this weight even if it's at a slower pace than they want it will come off!!!

Hey Deb,

I was wondering if you could tell me the name of that book again? The one with the cards that you have taped everywhere!?!? I want to check it out!

Thanks,

Kristie

The Beck Diet solution weight loss workbook by Judith S. Beck.

I love this book and find it to be helpful with the brain game. Since they only operated on the belly not the brain, but the brain still wants to be in control!

Debbie

 Well Deb,
I have to say I don't know what the dietician was thinking saying you have not lost enough at this point. Bull, you look awesome and look at all the weight you have lost in such a short time.  Could you have ever done this on your own in that amount of time?  Don't let them discourage you, you are doing awesome.  Sometimes I think the dieticians need to think before they speak. Remarks like that can really do more harm then good.  I may have been really drugged up that night because I had my surgery on Monday but I could still see how great you were looking, double vision and all. LOL  JK You rock!

Hugs
Kim

There is another book call Women food & God  By Geneen Roth I found it at my local book store. A friend of mine has lost well over 100 pounds using this book alone. I haven't started to read it yet so can't really tell yuo whayt it is about.

Keep on enjoying your liquids! for a little change try mixing cappachino liquid flavored slim fast with a scoop of chocolate protien mix or slim fast 1/2 Cup ice  and whizz away adding milk if needed. tastes like a jamoca shake from Arbys. Easy to sip on something you like!

Debbie

  Thank you for listing these books, i am going to look into them! Sasha
