Sepertated from my husband because of this WLS

Today Is in a word, "Lousy" not just because its raining and chilly but because I have chosen to save my life and have this WLS I am here alone and my husband went on too Florida without me. Before I get any further let me clearify that we love eachother very much its just his job has taken him to Miami and because I am in the process of having the WLS I had to stay here. I guess that in one aspect It was good because I relied on this wonderful loving caring man to do almost everything for me. so now i have much more independence, but on the other hand I just miss him so much and im thinking to myself its gonna be forever before I get a date to have it because I had to lose so much before Dr. Lirio would do the WLS. I have lost quite a bit on the medifast and apart of me just wants to say "screw it, im going to Florida, but then the sensible part of my brain kicks in and reminds me that i have gone to far to turn back... JHonn (my husband) is a true angel and I feel so sad Well everyone I hope all is well and hope you are all livin outloud!!! Livin outloud, becca Love PS.. does anyone know what I need to do to keep a journal in my profile on here?

Becca, I am so sorry that you have to be separated from your husband. No matter how short a time period it could possibly be, it is still too long. I understand your commitment to the program and to Dr. Lirio. I went and saw Carolee yesterday and she has mentioned you to me before. Keep up with the Medifast and you'll be down the 10% before you know it. I live in Fort Plain and I would be happy to help you in any way possible. You can e-mail me and I'll give you my phone number or maybe we can get together. As far as updating the profile, the only way I have been able to do mine is to go into My Profile, then underneath view my profile is General Info, choose that. You'll get to the next page where it shows anything that you previously posted. I just go to the bottom of that, hit enter a few times to create a new paragraph and put a new date and start typing. This is how I have been able to keep up my profile. It might be easier if you have one of those fancy profiles, but I don't have one of those. Let me know if I can help you at all. Hugs!! Laura

Laura, Thanks for the how to on the profile thing.. Also thanks for the up date on carolee, I was going to go and visit her but to be honest I was kinda nervouse I know she dosent really know me so I felt funny just showing up. I have lost about now and still have about 30 more Lirio wants me to lose. I have lost my 10 percent already but because of some other health things he wants me to lose some more. I do so badly miss jhonn. I have thought about after my last consult that i will fly down for a few weeks and stay on the medifast then come back up... I dont know Im just lonely. I would love to get together so when let me know when and ill work it out on my end so let me know if ya wanna call me or ill call you... Please tell Carolee im really happy and proud of her!!! Livin out loud, becca Love

Becca,It sounds like a hard time to be alone now.Try to concentrate on your goals.When my honey was in New York and I still lived in Illinios we used to talk on the phone for hours and sometimes we would even go to sleep all night on the phone and wake up together the next morning.We would leave emails for each other.It really was romantic and a good way to spice things up.We would take turns going back and forth by train for a week here and there when possible.(But unforunatally all that romantic crap has worn off now that I have been in N.Y. for 2 years). I think I need to go back to Illinios for a while anyway it was just a thought that might help you since you miss each other so much.Hang in there Becca. Darlene

Hi, Becca Love! I have only been separated from my husband once, when I was in San Diego (and he was home in New York with our two kids, then teenagers), living at this Health Institute where all the food is only vegetables and occasional fruit and you drink special water and wheat grass juice! Yikes....a tough time. Just three weeks, and I missed him like mad. (Lost 20 pounds, and gained it all back shortly after I came home... PLUS about 25 pounds!) Can you get a Nextel phone? They have direct connect, and you can speak immediately at the touch of a button on your phone. We have the kind of plan where it includes coast-to-coast connections, and as I said, it's immediate. It costs less than getting on a land line. And it helped a lot, making us "feel" a lot closer! When I go to Brazil in the beginning of June to have my surgery, I will be without him again... and no direct connects then! Travelling alone will also be tough again. He's the most supportive, caring human being I have ever known, and I feel like an orphan without him!! So I understand what you're feeling, and my heart goes out to you. Lisa in Dutchess County
