why whouldnt you want that??? starvin marvin's the chit n' half

 

props man good luck mang

 

Good luck with your goals. My sister had Gastric Bypass about 1 year ago. She's 120 lbs down! (started around 310ish) She looks like a completely different person (a much smaller person).

I have lost about 45 lbs (275 to 230) over the last 2 1\2 months by changing my eating habits. I eat twice a day. big breakfast, big lunch a little later than normal, and no more food until breakfast the next morning. It's hard, but it works. Don't ever go to bed full. I also cut out all sugar that I can. Now if I could only quit smoking!

I like Deej's idea about a support group. That could actually help.

 

could try my system... eat everything in sight, stay active and sleep 4 hrs a night

works wonders[8D]

 

Well what do you think Ops? I know I'm not a full member of PWI, but I would be willing to mod a weightloss support thread.

 

I was talking to one of my best friends whos just out of med school about the lap band. Funny thing is I might need to put on a couple of pounds in order for them to aprove me. I might have to end up gaining about 5 lbs so put my bmi at the level where I will get aproved with out a crap load of waiting and tests.

 

lol, ya have to gain wieght before youre allowed to lose it[8D]

 

My doctor friend said they base it on your bmi. With my BMI where its at right now would be boarderline. My friend said just to relax and exercise very light the next week or two. If I put on 4-5 lbs then there shouldn't be any problem getting aproved for it.

 

thats good... kick back and be lazy, shouldnt be to hard

 

it feels odd not exercising now. I guess I will just use the time I would have jogged to clean up the apartment a bit. It also feels strange trying to eat a little more. I hate being counter productive but if 5-7lbs is going to mean getting the surgery and not then so be it
