Topic: RE: A HUGE PLEA!!
Of course, Nicole - hi again Nicole! Ok, so now we have FOUR - four of us are doing' the Buddy System! I just don't want to put my head in the sand about this ... I've got to deal with what's happening and get the help I need. For me, that's always started here, with this Board. So now we have: Maureen, Connie, Nicole, and Elizabeth. All we have to do in this beginning stage is: commit to making healthy food choices TODAY; and commit to doing something that moves our bodies for 1/2 hour TODAY. Just TODAY. That's all we have to do - and of course, all are welcome in this! Maureen

You noticed! Thanks! I think you're wise to let go of the eggs and bacon, at least for now; that bacon is just a sizzling piece of fat and it's just not healthy. Let's check in later, ok? I've missed you! How are you??? Maureen

Look at you and your new pic! You look beautiful! :) I'm in but will be doing the protein for Breakfast and lunch and a sensible dinner route. I've been eating eggs and bacon for breakfast and thats just a no can do anymore thing. I totally stopped loosing. I haven't been drinking my protein lately and that always stops me from loosing no matter how I look at it. hoping to start tomorrow with my protein.

It's Nicole
I've had most of the stuff happen that happens after WLS
I'm not actually a Coastiewife anymore
I've gained, I'm still a six 6(well sometimes it's mostly 8 now) but I have sworn that I will not go into the double digit clothes sizes so I need to do something, when I was flying my uniform was a size 4 but now that I am depressed(40mgs of Paxil) and not flying and not running through airports all day long and just sitting i've gained, I kept my weight around 130-133 when I was flying so i've gained 16 pounds since I was laid off and thats scary!

Topic: RE: Addiction Perspective
So sad. As soon as you said sores I knew it must be Meth. Meth is soooo awful. Nasty, it literally rots your body. My husband and I use to watch that intervention show and I had my son watch a couple so he knows how awful drugs are and what it does to a family and such. He only saw like 2 episodes though. Its just too much. I can't stand to watch it anymore. It makes my stomach burn. You just have to pray for them. Its such a shame and so upsetting when children are involved. It just disturbs and you pray for the children more than anything. So sad!!!

Topic: RE: Hypoglycemic - naturopathic physician
See! thats how a doctor should be. Most aren't though. Sounds like you have a great one. I find that female docs tend to give a little extra attention. Well, at least the two that I have had so far. Not sure what it is. Sounds like you're doing good! :)
Topic: RE: A HUGE PLEA!!
Hi there - I remember you (but don't remember your name - do tell!) ... you're not alone and you've come to the right place. So many people this far out of surgery are feeling what you're feeling so don't despair. We can turn this around. I saw 160 for the first time this a.m. and I am simply terrified. Let's check in tonight and see how we did today, ok? I'm off the gym to honor my commitment of power walking 2 miles. Hope to hear from you later.
Peace,
Maureen
Peace,
Maureen

Topic: RE: pain of the pouch
Glad you're feeling better, Pam. And good to know your pouch is still working - but weird in terms of how random this stuff is, right? Have a great day. Maureen
