ACCOUNTABILITY MISSION: NO MERCY AND NO EXCUSES 

Epiphany has past. The Christmas season is officially over.  We are out of excuses to cheat ourselves out of the benefits of staying on plan. 

TELL THE WHOLE TRUTH AND BE ACCOUNTABLE:  Are you genuinely working on your wls, lifestyle change, diet plan, or whatever you want to call it?   Or, are you feigning the motions and kidding yourself about the lack of results.  Or, perhaps you just don't give a damn at the moment and have not even tried. 

 

We all know having a program and working it is the only option.  That includes how you approach food, exercise, supplements, th rules of your particular game, and addressing your food related disfunctions.  You know what to do and if you don't you know how to do the research.  If you want success get on it now and make it happen.   

 

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

I deleted my account a while ago and so much has happened since then. I used to visit this forum a lot and then LIFE kicked in. Ok so I was sleeved December 8, 2011 and all was well, until I got sick in January 2012. I went to several doctors and not one could tell me what was wrong. I told them I had just gotten the gastric sleeve done...nothing!!

Fast forward to the end of January and I had to make my PCP see me and when he did we found out my gallbladder was only working at 7%!!! I was so pissed! And the surgery had to be emergency because while all that was going on I had to be hospitalized for a really bad UTI because I couldn't eat or drink. I had my gallbladder removed on February 2 and that is when more drama started. A few days after I got home I noticed that I was numb in my stomach , my legs, vaginal, and thigh area.

I told the surgeon and he said it was probably a nerve that was cut...WTH!! To make a long story short...I was partially paralyzed from February to August from a stroke in my spinal cord. After several MRI's they finally found it in December 2012.

I feel horrible because although I have lost a lot of weight, I started back eating stuff that got me to 412. Sitting in the bed everyday took a toll on me and now I'm trying to get ME back. I will be starting therapy soon for the numbness and I'm praying that I can finally get back on track.  Thanks for reading, Jessica

I took it several years ago.It definitely suppresses the appetite and increases your metabolism. My dr. suggested I try it again.I have a upcoming appointment
next week and I'm going to take it every other 2-3 days this time around with a 1200 cal diet plan. Before it had me extremely hyper. Will keep you all posted.

Hi Wendy,  Yeah the board died a few years back because of facebook.  Everyone moved over to facebook, that is where I mostly post now because I get more support from all the oldies and newies but I still come over here to see my girl Marcia and to encourgea the new people that need help.
