My surgery is in Seattle!! Where are you having yours? Who's your surgeon? I wanna know details!! LOL

That's funny that you mentioned leafy greens!!! I've been having dreams of spinach salad lately. It must be something I'm looking forward to lol

I work in a hospital too!! I sit all day though. I'm only taking a week off unless there are complications of course. Good luck to you too!

It sounds like you need a new doctor to me. I don't know how that works in Canada, but can you get a second opinion and move your care elsewhere? Even with PCOS, I didn't have a problem with getting pregnant so I can't say that I know how you feel. Wanting a baby is one of the strongest urges known to humans and I know it…

My sister has lost over 102 lbs and she is hypothyroid. She has to work harder for it and it takes longer but she has done it. You can do it too! Don't let anyone's words have power over what you do with your body. Even if you don't start losing immediately, you will feel great anyway. Just keep swimming, as Dory would say.

That doesn't make you an asshat, that makes you a comeuppance dispense :laugh:

What an asshat......the guy, not you lol

Mine was "You're very pretty but very forgettable." Gee, thanks.

Me-1 Binge-1 :( Days I didn't log it all-2 I ate 3/4 of a chocolate pie last night and all I remember is taking the first bite and then boom!! It was gone! It scares the daylights out of me!

January 2013 Me-1 the Binge-0 Days I did not log it all-1 (I'm gonna work on this)

36, severe. Not as bad as I thought it would be actually.

That's how I do it. When I know it's coming, I stop at McDonald's, Taco Bell, and Dairy Queen, then have a pizza delivered when I get home. If I'm going to be out all day, I go to my favorite pizza place in the next town order and get their largest pizza and carry it around with me all day. I will eat until I feel sick and…

In Kay County, OK, it is illegal to put an ice cream cone in your right back pocket while walking down the street.

I do have to lose about 15 pounds between now and then and I'm a little nervous about that because for the past 6 months I have not been able to get lower than 285 no matter what I do. That is probably the part that I'm worried about the most before surgery. After surgery, I'm terrified of being a normal size. I'm been…

Congratulations!

I exercise formally 5 days a week right now, will that help me with the healing process?

Thanks for the tips. I am really looking forward to it and I have already cut out the caffeine (because I got mine from soda). I already tell people that surgery isn't an easy way out, it's just a different way. The liquid diet does make me nervous but I'm positive I can do it. Thanks again!

This!!!! Why don't you complain about that Subway commercial that shows all the overweight people breaking things? That's not stereotypical at all!

Wow!! You've done amazing!! Great job!

ditto for what the guy above me said. Good luck and just be patient for a little bit. :bigsmile:

Great job! You're doing an awesome thing!

hmm I will have to try that! I bought the Biggest Loser and hated it... it required too much space, or more space than I have available. I have another exercise one that I like (shape up or something?) Those are the main ones I play for exercise. [/quote] I play the Dance Central games. If you want a workout, go with…

I just squat down and then stand up fast like I really am jumping lol. Do you play anything else on Kinect?

My number one reason to lose weight is my children, because I'm tired of being too tired to do anything with them. A close second is that I don't want to have to deal with a weight problem on top of Lupus. I think that the lupus is enough stress all by itself.

I agree with everything that Sharise said. One day at a time is the only way to handle this disease cuz it get's tough. I get overwhelmed sometimes and I just hate it but I can only keep plugging on. You can add me as a lupie friend too :)

Thanks you guys :) I have an appointment with an orthopedist on the 22nd. My PCP wants to rule out any problems in my hips and legs before we go full scale MS testing (again, sigh). I am glad they are being thorough. I believe that the orthopedist will be doing an MRI of my spine and my legs. I hope they figure something…

I am definitely learning to pace myself lol. Yesterday was my last day on it and I'm already feeling the loss. I have learned something that I think is very important over the last couple of weeks though and that is that I don't feed myself correctly because I am TIRED!! I just always thought it was because I was too lazy…

Congratulations on breaking out of your stall :bigsmile:

What is MSM? I've never thought of DHEA. I'll have to look into that. Thanks! Three days in it's going pretty well. I've actually lost three pounds and I suspect it's because I've had more energy and have actually been able to do things. Last night I even did a load of laundry and it's been almost a year since I did that.…

I wasn't sure if we could post links on here for some reason lol. Sorry bout that :) This is a good one and the people on it are very knowledgeable and more than happy to help. There is also a lot of good information on it. http://cushings.invisionzone.com/
