Hi Everyone,

I'm new to this thing, just got my book the day before Christmas. I

decided to spend this week preparing to get started. You guys sound

miserable. I hope I can do this. I am not very good at dieting I really enjoy

food. But I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. I quit smoking 3 years

ago and I have felt bad ever since. I gained 25 pounds, I have terrible

allergies and fibromyalgia. I don't like to exercise and I have insomnia. I

guess I'll fit right in with this crowd. Please tell me what changes to

expect and how long before I will see positive results. Also what salad

dressings would you recommend.

Wish Me Luck,

Hi ,

Welcome aboard!!! Don't let us scare you off. We are not really miserable,

it is just because it is Christmas and it is difficult to stay on any type of

good eating plan. This diet is a way of living and not that difficult to

follow under normal circumstances. I haven't been good lately and I just

came home from the fourth dinner party in a row where I overindulged and my

stomach is already fighting back.

As soon as the holiday eating is over, you will find a much happier and

healthy group.

Good luck.

Keep in mind, , that we are all fairly new to this too. I too have

Fibromyalgia - major insomnia - along with pretty major back and structural

problems (well - I'm not crippled but sitting is painful so have a level of

disability) and I can tell you I feel better on the diet. I have gone off

it pretty badly lately but am going to straighten up. Got my sugar cravings

going again. Sure feel lousy. Do better on the diet though. Welcome.

Hi

Don’t get upset, it’s not that hard you just have to get used to it.

And like most of us from time to time you’ll get off track, but you’ll get

back again as soon as possible because you’ll find out that you feel better

as long as you stick to it. The people around here are very supportive and

they have experience and will help you through.

Take care

and a ray of spirit.....hehe anyways, most of you know i homeschooled her,

filed complaints, and went to mediation.... so she just started in sept in

this crapty county.......who so happens NOT TO BELIEVE IN inclusion at

all..... so here goes...... they are not using the signing, not following her

iep, have written in her notebook they dont have enough staff to offer her

sensory choices all the time, arent using the PECS correctly, no positive for

behaviors ect.... and they ARE NOT modifying the work in the regular third

grade class, she sits in there and colors all day.......nice learning

[Guest guest]

All I can say to this one is Bless Your Heart. That is a very southern

thing, but it seems to fit in this instance. Believing in inclusion is not

really the issue. They have no supports in the inclusive setting and are

setting her up for failure. It is obvious you have untrained personnel on

your hands. You can request that they receive training in the IEP. I

would, in fact, insist that the ignorant so and sos get training. I just

don't understand why they don't insist that teachers get CEUs especially in

special ed since they have to include sped students now. You can vent to me

anytime.

Judy,

I was banded a little over a year ago by Dr. Kuri in TJ, Mexico. He is a

very qualified surgeon. I had never been in a hospital since birth (I was

banded at 40), so I was nervous. I was happy with the quality of care, and I

would do it again. If I ever have a band problem, I would go see Dr. Kuri

first -- before I would see a local Doctor.

The band has been used for several years in other parts of the world. The

question really is are some US Dr's qualified. I also like Elise's reply

regarding the travel.

I paid 7500.00 for my surgery, plus travel for my husband and I. I know that

Dr. Kuri has gone up from that price. If you have any questions, I will be

glad to answer them.

Judy - Last I heard, Prof Weiner in Germany seemed to

be making headway with TriCare and getting them to

cover the band for military covered people. There is

an insurance group on that talks about this in

depth, but I thought you might be interested.

Insurance issues aside, I think going to Mexico is a

great choice due to the experience of the surgeons

there and the relative convenience. I was living in

Germany last year so it was great for me to go to Prof

Weiner who is also experienced - but living here

Mexico is much more convenient.
