Topic: RE: Help! I need some inspiration!
Val,
I see you have Lap Band- does that mean you have no food restrictions?
My first flag was to tell you Back away from the chips and no one will get hurt!
Those are carbs,and not good ones. Protein first,veggies second and then carbs.
Are you at the end of honeymoon stage and need to kick it in gear?- Force yourself to at least go walk the block or a mall! No food court! LOL
Maybe do what people do to kids- if ya don't eat your veggies no.... for you.
Make up your own story line. If I don't go for a walk.. I can not...... that day.
Past that, I don't know I am not there yet :(
I hope you get it in gear and if ya need someone to type to I am usually around!!
I can be a long distant cheerleader

I am taking the house apart room by room. Today was the kitchen everything from cupboard knobs to the floor and all small and large appliances! Then I hit the laundry room and even tore apart the furnace to clean the filters LOL. Come on over I have a 2 page list of things I want done before surgery LOL

Topic: RE: Help! I need some inspiration!
I wish I knew what to tell ya. It's kinda scary to hear that those things are calling your name as I was hoping that wouldn't be an issue after surgery. Is there someone else in your area to call. Someone in your support group up there? As I"m doing the liquid diet, I keep telling myself, "I will not fail"! Hang in there!
Topic: RE: It is all happening!
Ugh! I'm trying to think what I'll do in the coming days. Maybe listen to some nice music. Read a book. Pet my cat. Pet our dog (yes, we're getting a 3 yr old Beagle tonight)! Hang in there!
Topic: Help! I need some inspiration!
I don't know what's going on with me, I just can't seem to get motivated to stick with "the rules" and start back on the weight loss journey. I have been sitting on the same 3-4 lbs up and down for 2 months now. I have been eating things I shouldn't, like chips and nacho cheese, and Dairy Queen has called my name a couple of times and I answered. Plus my exercise partner broke her ankle a month ago, and I've only gone once on my own.
I'm scheduled for an appointment on the 11th in Minot, maybe Jackie can kick me in the butt and get me going! And maybe I'll get a fill, which might help.
Just feeling a little stupid, because I know what I need to do, just am not doing it. Thanks for listening.

Topic: It is all happening!
I have read post after post over time here about all the changes your body goes through,even prior to surgery. I have thought all along ok, so my body is odd, Iam not having any of this or that.
Yesterday it hit me!
I am on day 6 of the liquid diet
prior to surgery. I have never been a person who is hungry all the time, I keep a consistant level. Yesterday for the first time in maybe yrs..my tummy started to growl- so my growler isnt broken after all!
My body is usually always in some kind of ache or pain,it is part of life. Last eve my right hip or a tad lower seems to be out of whack. This really means that my back is out of whack as usual and I need to get into my special chair more often then lately. Damn degenerated discs.
So, that brings me to the next thing- I go to bed
last night and my SO says (who never says anything) You need to start feeling better! your to cranky! 
Laughs I knew I was feeling cranky but didn't know it was showing outside my skin. I tell him I will try and just not to talk to me anymore,that will solve everything. I meant that as the biggest haha joke and he gets all huffy and says thats not what I mean. I then choose to shut up
cuz I knew my lips were not gonna let anything nice come out in the form of words.
I have had yucky/scarey
dreams of odd things wake up crying 
...The list is never ending.
So, while I suffer this liquid diet. The changes in mind and body are happening and you can't control it. I now know what everyone was talking about! LOL this to shall pass

Topic: And the results are......
Hope this finds everyone enjoying the last bits of summer.
Just wanted to give the mini report on what my Doctor had to say;
The results of the MRI were perfect-go figure!
So, we still have unanswered questions. He is going to continue treating it as if it is vertigo/inner ear.If it is not cleared up after that I will have to see someone else and see what their findings might be. He upped the dizzy meds from 25mg 4 times a day to 50 mg 4 times a day. That doesnt sound like much in writting. I am here to tell you it kicks my arse!! I have spent a large amount of the day in bed sleeping.
I have been on the opti- fast wonder drinks (as I call them) wonder if I can gag them all down. Anyways this is the end of day 5. I have not missed food for the most part. Mainly because I am down and out in bed I am sure LOL.
I have a large variety of veggies to eat throughout the day and lets not forget opti-fast and lots of water. 12 days and counting. All the doc said (surgeon) was If you can take 5 pounds off that would be good. Last I looked in 5 days I am down 7 pounds I think
Ok, Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Topic: RE: Today in the News...
LOL the nurse told me to ask for Kari. I just couldn't do it, I felt like it was sending the karma that no one else was good enough at their job. Why oh why do I listen to that inner voice all the time. It gets me in trouble. LOL
Have a wonderful day!
