Topic: RE: What are you celebrating and proud of? Tues
Hey girlfriend........ thanks for the kudos.
"FlyGirl"....let me tell you, if I end up enjoying a flight back and forth to NY I may just have to change my "handle" from Moosie to FlyGirl....
You are so right about not being able to fit in the plane if I had not lost the weight. Also the pilot told us that is you take 4 people in that plane you have to remove fuel or it's too heavy to fly.....and I thought to myself at my heaviest I was equal to 2 large people...there is absolutely noway I could have done it....the plane would tilt over with me in it.
My mother and father will not believe this...I have not told them yet because I want to show them the pictures of me in the plane they don't do email so I'll take pictures with me...the old fashioned way.
Yes I think everyone who has an addiction (whether it's food, Alcohol, drugs, etc) is fighting or hiding from some sort of fear.
I've faced a couple of big ones in my life and with each one I face I feel stronger and stronger but this one has far surpassed all others till now. I think I'll take a couple days off before I start on my next challenge...
Thanks for the support and kudos!

Topic: RE: sitting on the fence
forgot to chg my ticker, I did the sleep study last friday..brutal..no sleep hopefully enuf to determine if i have apnea
thank u sooooo much for all the wonderful advice
I have been changing my eating habits for the last year, now I very serious about the changes, I am also starting a food journal, I am writing absolutely everything I put in my mouth. I need to get REAL honest, I am thinking I am under 1500 calories everyday. I am eating high protein, low carb etc ..but I think I need to cut it back even more so I need to have a clear idea of my total calories and total fat grams..
I also have worked very hard with therapists as well as personal kick your emotional/psychological butt weekend that has had a huge impact on my life, gave me enuf strength to separate from my husband when my daughter was only a few months old, also moved to another city and transferred my job..I am also tackling my huge debt, I figure I need to get it all under control, weight and money
I think the biggest difference is that I making plans, working it out systematically doing it..not just talkin bout it but writing it out, counting etc..it is hard work and I am going to actually WORK this time..even if I choose the WLS I will need to be very very conscious of what goes into my mouth
this process for WLS is long, they say it may October or November if I am approved for the surgery..so I am using this time to get real damn serious with myself
Oh BTW moosie, r u kidding my nick name is moozie..I have never heard it before..how did u get the name?
so I guess I will be creepin around this forum for some help, if u guys don't mind
thanks again for the help..I need it cuz my sister lives around the corner from me and she had the RNY 10 yrs ago and all she eats is candy and chocolate, not a real good role model:-(

Topic: RE: What are you celebrating and proud of? Tues
Thanks for sharing in my joy
I think I'd even comfortably fit in the middle seat (although I would hate to be stuck in the middle)...but last time I sat in a middle seat was miserable for me and the people next to me...I hated it.
Lots of joy flowing thru me today...

I don't know if I'll ever say "I love Flying" but I'll be happy if I can say I'm comfortable with it and don't hate it. It will be interesting to see how my first big flight goes.
I was in a Cessna 172....gotta say it was a lot smaller than I thought it would be....
Still flying high on the fact that I did it. :-)

You are so right about the hardest part being getting started. I'm going to be facing that myself in a day or so when I get back into my normal routine. I'm definitely rusty during this post-op recovery period.
Kudos to you for pushing thru it and getting to the gym....

Topic: Question..
I have a question for anyone who might know whats going on. It seems like when ever I work out for any length of time my feet start getting numb. You know that tingling feeling. Does anyone know why this might be happeneing??
Topic: RE: Alli or Full Bar??
Hello. I've used them both and neither worked for me. I didn't have a problem with Alli when I was on it. Some people say it makes you go #2 in your pants but if you don't eat alot of fatty foods you would be ok. As for the Full bar it tasted gross so I never tried it again.

Topic: RE: Nausea after working out?
Mary, OMG - no wonder you love to watch The Biggest Losers LOL
Tami do you have a water bottle with you? I drink water as I exercise, whenever I feel thirsty I drink.
I read Michael's info about drinking water to avoid nausea:
"To keep from becoming dehydrated, you should try to drink a minimum of two cups of water roughly two hours before you start your exercise routine. 20 minutes before you begin your routine, you should drink 2 more cups of water. While you are exercising, you should also keep a water bottle nearby. During exercise, you should drink around half a cup of water for every ten to fifteen minutes of your exercise routine. If you follow these guidelines, you should be able to avoid becoming dehydrated, and to avoid the nausea that comes with dehydration."
OMG - I would be running to the toilet the whole time I should be on the treadmill!
I have felt nausea actually when I've drank too much water and I could feel it slooshing around in my stomach - I think you have to find the happy medium of just enough water.
I have noticed it when I've really pushed myself extremely hard - I don't have that problem very often.

That's amazing! Good job taking that plunge!
I *love* flying. :) I have logged solo hours in a Piper Warrior, and spent some time in Cessnas as well. It's a completely different feeling in a small plane than it is in a large one - you won't even know you're in the air in a large plane!
Good for you, what a big accomplishment!
