The time has come! The case manager in charge of my authorization at the insurance company FOUGHT for me! They had never had anyone seeking a DS before, but she managed to get it approved in a few weeks!!!!
So I will be "switched" on April 22, 2011 by Dr. Engstrand! I have been praying for this for many years....I am SO excited!
   

Hello - I did go to the meeting that night.  Were you there & what about Bea, was she there?  That was my first time to that meeting since the one in Menomonee Falls is no more.  I really enjoyed it and felt it was what I needed.  Was not a tough drive for me either, right off the freeway and right back on.  Only issue I had was where to park.  They said there was free valet parking but I did not see any valet and think I parked in the wrong place too.  I plan on going back to the next one.  I think it is important to be around people in a similiar situation.  We learn so much from eachother and can support eachother. 

I eat 6 meals a day and don't allow myself to eat other than those times and that is a habit now.  I still eat too many calories of just basic food.  My 3 snacks are yogurt, fruit and veggies.  My 3 meals are basic meat, starch and veggies. I have tried eliminating 2 snacks but can't do it.   I have tried cutting back on calories but can't seem to do that either...thus my weight issue!  Since my RNY I don't crave fat anymore  !!! But a calorie is a calorie at the end of the day. 

Some people munch on pickles, cheese sticks, celery with PB, I hope some people have some great input because I could benefit from it too.

Just me

Anyone else suffer with a food addiction? I am finding it very difficult to deal with. I have the munchies all the time. It is hard because everyone tells me what to eat and what not to eat but no one helps with what I could be munching on during these munchy times. I am trying to just ignore them, but it is not helping.

IS ANYONE GOING TO BE THERE TONIGHT
