Hey Julie, I thought about you yesterday. I went to see Dr Harvey and was so impressed again. I just wanted to post and say that my PS is the best in the world. He did my friend Kelly's stomach and I had my stomach done somewhere else. Kelly's is absolutely beautiful, he even contoured her sides so that her waist is very pronounced. I just have to say it, my stomach looks like crap. The other doctor did the easy way out. Dr Harvey includes the muscle tightening which the other Dr said I didn't need. As I loose swelling and more weight, I have a tire around my waist and belly button from the skin that he left. It would be okay if I wasn't small below and above the tire. It just looks crazy. Dr. Harvey said that we can't even talk for 6 months about he is going to fix my stomach, but at least I know that he will fix it. OK, I'm done whining Mary

Hi Melissa My name is Julie and I am an addict as well. Eating wise I am doing well today. Keeping busy helps. I am in a fight with my PCP that has lasted for 2 days now trying to get a referral and no-one seems to be calling be back. I called yesterday at 830a, when they opened, and they never called back. I finally called them at 130p and got to speak to the Dr. She assured me that I would hear something this morning, NOTHING. I finally called them back and now I am waiting again to hear back from them. Here is hoping. I have NEVER had this much trouble with my other PCP's. Since it is lunch time, did you make it without cheating? Julie

Yes, I did make it to lunch withour cheating. I had leftover spaghetti. I tried to eat the meat sauce and I added some mozzerella for the extra protein. I left some of noodles as the bowl my hubby made the other day was a bit big for me. I am full now. I was hoping to go with something a little better than spaghetti, but I didn't want it to go to waste. My hubby suggested it for lunch. the power of suggestion gets me everytime. He had made 3 bowls for him to take to work this week, but since that was the last meal before he got sick with the stomach bug he doesn't want it right now. Imagine that?!! I hope you get things settled with yout PCP. What a pain!!! Melissa

hello Melissa, I too am a food addict. I am still feeling ycuky, but I am back at work becasue there are bills to be paid. So I figured I would not eat today because so far eating=barfing or pooping. Well I was ok with nice clean clear water til I had to set up a room for a lunch meeting. And of course they wanted PIZZA. So it smells incredible and my hunger starts to pop up. Anyway, somehow I ended up at the McDonald's drive thru ordering a double cheeseburger from the dollar menu and some fries. (What was I thinking ordering fries too?!?!?!) Took one or two bites and realized it was a big mistake. Yuck. Now I feel queasy again, and my nose is watering even though I am not full. SOMEBODY SAVE ME FROM MYSELF!!! I will punish myself later at the gym with 100 crunches and 50 lunges. Yeah right, I hate lunges. I'll do 1 and then forgive myself. Hehe Kathy

I was think about you and wondering if you were feeling any better. Mike is at work today eating nothing but saltine crackers! You are more woman than I am if you are going to the gym. If I even think there is a possibility that I might not feel well, then that is the green light to stay home from the gym. I certainly would not want to stress my body too much with working out if I'm sick I hope you feel better soon!! Oh, and I don't think you ate enough of the fries and burger to even count it today. I believe there is a 4 bite minimum to qualify as being consumed! Melissa

in that case.. forget about that poptart and those chocolate eggs! they only took one bite! jen

"Hi, Melissa" I too am an addict! Yes, I can sit here and admit that I love chocolate, cake, pop tarts, and ice cream. Confession is good for the soul, but on this board bad for the mind (because now I want candy, cake, pop tarts, double cheese burgers and cheese tots)!!! Hope everyone is feeling better and that your families will soon be over this nasty bug that is going around. Pam

Hi Melissa....my name is Melanie and I join this wonderful group of folks in proclaiming that I too am such a food addict! I am so addicted to carbs that I feel I can't walk out of the house in the morning without munching on crackers! I am not having dessert or sweet cravings....yet! Today I have been pretty good except for the cup of grits with butter and cheese (yeah protein!) that I had once I got to work (after having already eaten breakfast at home!). You know how everyone in hospice/home health loves to eat! There's always something sitting around! It's like trying to run through a field of land mines just to get from my cubicle to the front door without being tempted!

I could never work there in the office during the week. I am soooo glad that when I am there I am usually the only one. they eat way to much during the week!!! I would constantly be in the bathroom if I was there during the week!!! Melissa
