Happy weekend BAF.  Tell the whole truth and be accountable for your success or failure.  When you slip, get right back on it and skip the self pity.  Congratulate yourself throughout the day when you do well .  Engage in positive self talk to get through the tough times.  Although we all slip from time to time, remember you've done far more positive than negative since wls.  Even after little re gain yu're still not where you were and you can get where you want to be.  

...All are welcome, jump in at anytime.

I not feeling the protein lately which is bad.  I make protein cookies and muffins and I don't even want those.  I'd rather have the sff carb stuff.

At the last NY OH event a speaker explained as we get further out we start to prefer the carbs because they are easy on the gi tract.  Lately I just want to eat whats easy and get the feeding done with. 

I'm going to get my base protein requirement in today.  I have to treat it like medicine.  Its something I just have to take. 

 Hey lady!!!!!

I have been doing well - tomorrow in the gym will be more cardio, I bought a pair of running shoes yesterday.  My friend and I are signing up for the 5K cancer run in Oct - she's trying o convince me to do the marathon in San Antonio in Nov......... Ionknow about the marathon, she wants to do half, but hell - HALF a mofoin marathon is still a long ****** way!!!!  5K is just over 3 miles - THAT i know I can do and survive - 13 miles???!!!!!  lawd almighty!!!!  We will see........

About to head to Wally World - I really need to stock up because I spent WAY too much $$ last week eating out and while I didn't eat anything bad, the expense is unnecessary - I need to get up and cook!!!!

Run MsMM run!  Were I not a problem chid I would sure try for that marathon.   Easy for me to talk knowing its impossible, lol.   I say go, run what you can, and have fun.

@  I need to get up and cook!!!!
I here you on the unecessary expenses.  I'm guilty myself; not to mention its not as low in sodium as I normally eat.  Time for me to cook and stock my freezer. 

I thought I was back on track after a fill last month, but that restriction is long gone. I'm extremely frustrated and I will be following the Atkin's plan until I can have some type of revision.

 Hey MJ!!!!  This may be a dumb question...... so you got a fill and it's unfilled?  Is there a leak in your band or has it always been screwy like that for you?  I know you've had problems for a while... I'm just curious.

Its very possible I have a leak. 

I was rocking along just fine the first  months with the band.  Getting fills, losing consistently, then the damned port tilted. Being self pay I had to save up $ to pay for repair surgery for that.  I have a lot of scar tissue-you can tell just by pressing on my belly-the side with the port is kinda hard and bumpy (gross I know).  Since the 2nd surgery I've never been able to have the port accessed on just the 1st try.

I should have the Band surgery paid off within the next 6 months.  Perfect time to start looking into another option.  It just doesn't make sense for me to pay for more and more band surgeries, ya know?

 WOW.  that sucks.  

Are you going to revise to RNY or DS or sleeve or what?  

Mad props to you for being a self pay - THAT is what's up for real - I can't even say I'm THAT dedicated........

I'm going to do some plastics update photos - got a quote from my surgeon on getting my back done.... 15K.  I'll be out of credit card debt totally in the next 60 days..... then that savings plan starts.....

Here's the killer thing I was thinking about yesterday - mofos always say that fat people just 'let themselves go' - if they only knew how much $$, time, effort and thought we fat mofos put into our bodies - THEY would be the ones who are really 'letting things go'!!! 

With the way the economy is currently a lot of Chicago area hospitals laid off a bunch of nurses starting 2 yrs ago-now a days most places are hiring on only PT. Most nurses I know are juggling 2-3 jobs just to get full time hours. Which makes a ***** of getting good benefits. Don't get me started on health care workers with crap benefits. I was spoiled with great bennies when I lived in Az and safe to say that is so not the case right now.

I'm terrrified of malabsorbtion surgery, but I'm also smart enough to know I have ruined my metabolism. I've been on every diet known to man since I was 6 yrs old. I worry because Cancer runs rampant on both sides of my family and malabsorbtion surgery knocks out a lot of oral chemo drugs. Although I will be cutting my Cancer risk by losing weight.

If I'm gonna do this, I'm going big and not putting myself in the postion to have a failed surgery again-so I'd opt for the DS. There's a great program at the university hospital downtown.

One positive is my family has been very against weight loss surgery in general, especially since my cousin passed away after complications of her RNY. I emailed a link of Goreous Isa's post the other day to my mom, and she met Juanita at her wedding and she was simply amazed and is on board and supportive.

 Shhhyyyttt - if your mom needs more convincing - lemme know - I believe in proving RNY can work IF you take your shyt seriously!!!!  

Good for you for researching and really weighing things out - whatever next step you take, it'll be a rock solid commitment on your part, so I know you'll knock it out of the park!
