Guest guest Posted December 12, 2001 Report Share Posted December 12, 2001 Hey, hey, hey, I have been shaking my groove thang, I just am not quite sure where my money makers are, or if I have any. Should my money makers cost me money? Oh sighs.... Furthermore, I am getting scared. My ADEKs have started to taste good and I sneak them in as taste treats. Does this mean I have finally entered starvation euphoria? If I start crushing these and rolling dollar bills, I am in big trouble!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2001 Report Share Posted December 12, 2001 Thanks, Amy. I DO hope that you're right about it passing. Your husband sounds wonderful. Mine, too, is a rock of support. Unfortunately, he has a job that only allows him to be home on the weekends for now (computer geek consulting work out of state) and so my rock is gone quite a bit lately. Poor guy--he's probably glad to get some relief! Love, > > My stomach hurts any time I eat or drink something and I'm so > > T-I-R-E-D of it! Make it go away!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2001 Report Share Posted December 12, 2001 Well, I don't know about that, Lisbeth. If you lose 100% of your excess weight, then by Christmas you should have lost about 75 pounds. You're down 67 now, and it ain't even Christmas yet. I'd say that you're doing very well! I can't wait to be your weight. I can pull off 187 and look pretty damn good. Still might have trouble running the way I want to, though! Best, Dr. Gagner, NYC lap BPD/DS 11-20-01 height: 5' 7 " highest weight: 309 surgery weight: 293 current weight: 271 And the scale hasn't been movin' much lately. The first-month honeymoon better not be over yet! But I'm being patient (for now!). > > > > > My stomach hurts any time I eat or drink something and I'm so > > > > > T-I-R-E-D of it! Make it go away!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2001 Report Share Posted December 12, 2001 Thank you , I would like to end up at around 140's so even if there is a bounce back I end up in the 150's...My weight loss has really slowed down I guess it's because I am fast approaching the 6 month mark...My demon is the mental mirror I look in the mirror and I see the same self...So I have to come believe that I have to drop alot more to actually see the weight loss...I am going to start having to take pics of myself so that I see what I look like...Man oh man 100% EWL would be fantastic LOL Lisbeth 254-->187 mkfrilot wrote: Well, I don't know about that, Lisbeth.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2001 Report Share Posted December 12, 2001 You have money makers, everyone does....Hmmmm they taste good.....It's time to start varying your menu as far as crushing them up and selling...I have a great corner in mind Lisbeth timarie55 wrote: Hey, hey, hey, I have been shaking my groove thang, I just am not quite sure where my money makers are, or if I have any.
