Topic: Getting back on track
I went to the Dr for a follow-up and we discussed my hubby and his recent weight gain because he went off track. I wanted to share this with everyone because she gaves some good pointers. The Dr says go back to eating protein foods only. Cut out all carbs. No need to go back to protein liquid fasting because it will not fill you up and make you more hungry so when you do eat you will tend to over due it. Just wanted to share that information with everyone!~
Topic: RE: What are your struggles??
Coffee is also my downfall. But.... I am going back to decafe so that should help. The K20 water is good bu****ch out for the lemon because that will pucker your jaws atleast it did mine.
Topic: EXCITED!
I just got ahold of my primary care doctor, and I have an appointment next Wednesday to see him and discuss WLS. I hope to walk out of there with a refferal, but we will see what happens! I'm really excited!
Topic: RE: What are your struggles??
Vanessa, I can't waite for the day that I can say " Welcome to the loser's bench, where there is always room for one more." I hope you learn alot from the struggles you see around you daily. When I think of the struggles I have had in this journey sometimes I say why me. I have learned that God puts us places in our lives for a reason and we may not understand at the time why but if my struggles help one person there was a reason. You will have lots of experts around you and many people to lean on. I wish I could tell you ,you will not graze but I can't. I can only say learn by the mistakes you see around you. Work on issues for they will still be there after surgery. Take advantage of that Honeymoon period . Practice eating healthy now. It is never to early. Eat to live !!!! See you lighter.

i must agree that coffee is addictive..i drink it daily, as you know. I think that when the timecomes my struggle will be grazing.. eatting a lot through out the day. But we will see. Im certainly goin to avoid it,

Topic: Happy Tuesday
Hope everyone has a good day.So far I am doing good today !!! I had to make adjustments quick this a.m. with work. I was assigned to a different duty. Today I am Mobile which is very good for me because I can walk all day. I am determined to get my water and protein in and exercise after work. I am also going to attend a meeting at my church which is something I wanted to get back to for awhile. I even asked a co worker to help keep me on track. This year I am going to do good and reach my goal which is to get back to my lowest weight. I know I will have falls but I will pick myself up, dust off and get back in the game. You know what they say " It's not weather you win or lose, it's how you play the game." I am going to play by the rules and with God on my side I am going to succeed in 2008 !!!! See all lighter. Joanne
