Topic: RE: Takin Charge and doing it right Tuesday!

I really need to take charge again, but my emotions are getting the best of me lately.... Dealing with so much with one of my older kids, plus the chaos that comes along with a husband and 4 kids still at home.... Had to see my shrink yesterday and now I have been put into group therapy every Thursday for 16 weeks... Ugggghhh... I guess it is better than the hospital though and that is were I was headed and fast.... I WILL take charge soon and I WILL work with you too..... We will be an awesome team!!!!!

 

HUGS,

Good Morning Michiganders and all you lurkers.

How is everyone on this Great day?
I woke up a little too early this a.m. but that is alright by me, Did a cup of protein coffee. Then on too a couple of hard boiled eggs (with the yellow fed to dog). Planning my days meals so I stay on track. It is time for me to get back to the program. I don't seem to dring the 8-8's of water anymore. And man do I ignor taking my vitamins. I have thown counting and charting what I eat. Totally dismis doing the exersize daily. Not because I don't want to just that the day gets away from me. That is why I am calling this day Takin Charge Tuesday.

I am TAKIN CHARGE of what I must do for me to be a healthy comfortable person. I will not allow myself to be a slug and dismiss the tools of the pouch that I need to make it effective another day.

Is there any one else who needs to take charge today Lets see if we can do this together.
Chime in if you feel the need!

Topic: BCN and plastic surgery?
 Hey all,

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with Blue Care Network and having any sort of plastic surgery? If so, I'm interested in hearing about your experiences. I had gastric bypass on Novermber 16, 2009 and went from 267 to about 155 but have a lot of extra skin on my stomach I would like to get ride of. Ideally I'd like to have a tummy tuck and a breast life but no implants or anything...I spoke with a few different reps for the insurance company who said if the surgeon finds it medically nessasary, they will cover it to an extent but I would have to basically pay for half. I'm a little concerned about this being covered. I don't generally have too much skin irritation or anything. It's a huge annoyance though. 

Any feedback would be helpful! =)

 morning mary!

well, afternoon!  i am running late today, had lots of errands this morning.  i had tea instead of mocha this morning.  i didn****ch the game so i didnt see any of the commercials or anything.  i did watch a full day of Auction Hunters.  I always love a good deal.  I didnt eat very well until the last half of the day.  my theory is that its never to late to start the day over and thats what i decided to do.  i have a goal to drop 20 lbs by june 1st which is about a lb a wk ish.  i am working out slowly building back up to my 40 min daily walk.  i will get there.  its important for me not to stress and rush into it or i will give up and throw in the towel.  i dont know how others feel.  any input would help though.

have a great day everyone!

Well it's the day after supperbowl! How did you do with all those tail gate treats? What was your favorite commercial and least liked one?

I had a bad day yesterday seems everything  I consumed passed straight through. (sorry TMI) so today will be doing clear liquids and see how it goes.

Superbowl love the Clint E commercial not quit sure we have come back as far as they say but were are deff. doing better in the Det. area. Hated Modonna half time. wasn't as spactacular as I had hoped for.  Guess the shock and awe factor just aint there for me. would have like Lady Ga Ga to do it instead. LOL

Have a wonderful monday all. STAY WARM!

 Dr. Foote did my sleeve in July of 2010......you're in good hands!  He's the go-to guy for this surgery at GHP.  He does tend to make a smaller sleeve so expect plenty of restriction.  

I've lost 100 lbs and although I could probably stand to lose another 10 more I'm currently in a size 6 and am smaller than I've been since Junior High!  

Good luck to you dear!
