how do i get re-motivated and back on track???
phatgirl 2011 replied to dontgoggilme's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I so needed to see this post. I have definitely fallen off the wagon. i recently moved away from home and been going through the motions. Not eating right or enough and not hitting the gym either. Gained back 9lbs in 3 mos! sighhh.. Haven't been to the doc for a fill either. Only have my 1 so feeling very little to no restriction. I'm just so ashamed of myself. My doc was just talking about how she wanted me to speak at a seminar because I was doing so well and not many patients do the Lap Band. I really need to get back on focus and reading these posts was very helpful. Thank you for the advice everyone. -
Hey girl.. lost my focus for a little bit, but I'm trying to get it back. You're my inspiration! Keep it up. Been through a few things lately and just finished moving at least. Back to start early morning grinding.

Do you use Wii to exercise?
phatgirl 2011 replied to lifeisjustbeginning2011's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I also have all the games listed above with the addition of Golds Gym Cardio workout which is boxing and soooo awesome! lol also have Just Dance 1 and 2 and Dance on Broadway. MY favorite game is Just Dance 2. I Love to dance. lol can't wait till they come out with the part 3. And on the Just Dance 2 game there's an option called "Just Sweat" for exercise where u can weekly tell them how hard u want to work out. And it tracks your "Sweat" levels and intensity. Thats a great game to try. -
Hey Mimz! Hope you are doing well! I'm doing great. Now that all has settled we must get together and do a nice "Band Lunch" lol Take care and talk to you soon! Congrats on the loss of that "extra baggage of 56lbs!"

I just had my first fill today and my doc filled me 3 ccs. So i'm assuming it's just that doctor. And if it's just for your insurance money then that's just wrong on many levels. smh.

How long did it take from Seminar to Lap Banding?
phatgirl 2011 replied to abqann's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
that was so quick with most of you! I went to the seminar in Feb and was banded 5/23.Had a lot of running to do. With low vitamin levels and scans. But finally was all cleared. Just got my first fill today so i'm on a liquid diet for today. smh.. lol I don't even know how i did it first time around. -
Well have finally gotten my first fill! Yay! I'm at 3ccs in a 9cc band. and feel a lil restriction i think unless it's my imagination. lol Drinking without a problem. Lets see what happens! :-)
-
You're right... u have to tell me all about that trip! How's your workout regiment been? With all that you've down on vacay bet you dropped a lot of lbs.
-
Hey girl! i'm ok.. after initially going on solids, i gained back 12 of 30lbs I had lost in 3 weeks. I basically skipped mushees and went right to solids. Went to my doc to get a fill and she said not till 8 weeks post op. and she wants me to lose more weight. that was 2 weeks ago. I have lost that 12 lbs I gained back. Thankfully! But everyday is a battle. But i'm so proud of u! :-)

phatgirl 2011 replied to JWKJR's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
goodness, dealing with a fill sounds scary. I haven't had a fill yet, got banded 5/23. I have a drs appt tom. I'm worried. -
I wish I had kept my lapband a secret.....
phatgirl 2011 replied to lea3277's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Banded 5/23. and when were u? I have nooo idea if i will be given a fill tomorrow or not but I hope i am cleared for the pool! I swim and do aqua aerobics for exercise so this is something I NEED! lol good luck to you and i will keep u posted. -
I wish I had kept my lapband a secret.....
phatgirl 2011 replied to lea3277's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@ Jerseygirl and NJgirl These are the reasons I only told my immediate and close family members and about 3 or 4 friends and that was only because about 2 of em had the surgery themselves and the other 2 are thinking about the surgery. I don't want people looking and watching what i eat and whether secretly or openly judging my food and weight loss. It's my business and it's still going to be a battle. I'm fightig it now. I've gained 12 of the 30lbs. i lost! being on solid food of course. smh. But it's a struggle. I'm hoping for my first fill tomorrow. But keeping something like this close to your heart is a better idea. -
Discouraged with the band.
phatgirl 2011 replied to TanksMama's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey Girl! I have a wii! and Love the Just Dance series part 1 and 2, the Michael Jackson Experience, The biggest loser game, Golds Gym Dance Workout and Cardio Workout. I tried the Zumba on the Kinect and it was just toooo much for me. I gave up after the warmup. lol u have a lot of good choices for games here.. also can't forget the wii fit. :-) Good luck to you. I'm sure you'll find what works for you. -
Is there really a band in there?!?
phatgirl 2011 replied to TracieT's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm soooo happy I'm not the only one! I initially lost 20lbs after the surgery on the liquid diet. i was banded on 5/23 and I have gained back 6lbs since being on mushees for 2 weeks now. I'm about to graduate to solids. This is so scary. I don't want to go backwards. -
Opinions? X-box, Kinect, Wii ????? I'm illiterate on this ..
phatgirl 2011 replied to slm2007's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have a PS3 and a Wii. I don't have an xbox and I refuse to buy one just for the Kinect! lol But I have played the Kinect and love it. I also love my WIi. I would buy the Kinect for the Dance Central game. I have on my wii, Michael Jackson the Experience game, Just Dance 1 & 2, Dance on Broadway, the Wii Fit, Golds Gym Cardio Workout and Golds' Gym Dance Workout, oh also the Biggest Loser game. I bought all of this when I was frantically working out before I got banded. So, I'd have no excuse when i couldn't make it to the Y. I love them all but my fave games have to be Just Dance 1 & 2. I don't cheat my workout either by just moving my arms. I do everything the proper way. But good luck, a new system is a great and fun way to work out. -
Time to transition to solid foods.
phatgirl 2011 replied to WEESIE's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm so sorry you're not feeling well Weesie. But don't worry that will pass. I'm also supposed to transition to solids today but i've basically been on solids just chewing my food extremely well. Till it was basically mushees which I wouldn't recommend, but its just something I did. I don't do too well with pureed food. The whole "visual" thing put me off. But that gas will pass. Hope you're feeling better now. -
Newly Banded - Digestion Question
phatgirl 2011 replied to mirihawk's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Rachel is right. lol since no food...liquids was all I got. I was on clear liquids for 2 weeks! lol so... and that includes the protein shakes. But I couldn't do them. So clear liquids it was. And believe it was hell for two whole weeks! lol But you'll make it and it will be a distant memory a couple of months from now. -
I was banded on 5/23 and it's driving me crazy! I wanna hit my pool at the Y! My insicion looks pretty good but I don't wanna hit the pool till I see my doc. and i'll see her next thurs. :-( Enjoy the pool.
-
Just chugging through time.. banded 5/23 and still on mushees due to my surgeon being out of town so my graduation to solids is postponed. :-( and I think I've gained weight. Man I need a fill!
-
But I'm s o happy for you! Have you gotten "stuck" yet. I did, for like 2 min. Enough to make me slow down. lol and have to concentrate on not drinking while eating. But i am again SO happy for you and glad you're doing well. What are u doing for exercise?
-
Hey Mims! I'm doing well. I'm supposed to graduate to solids on thurs but my doc will not be in so my appt is going to be next thurs. I'm ok. I initially lost 30 while on preop diet and up till I started mushees. Now.. i'm sure I have gained weight cuz I went to regular foods on musshes just chewed really well. But haven't worked out yet. Waiting till I'm totally healed. I can't wait till i can.

sugar free?
phatgirl 2011 replied to kimmibjones1969's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hiya Kimmi I also don't like the sugar free items except the popsicles. I eat regular jello pudding. sorry by the taste some things aren't meant to be sugar free! lol JMO. -
Survived my 'Cheat" Sunday
phatgirl 2011 replied to NJGirl32's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good for you.. doesn't sound like you did too bad at all. Me, i've been out of control. I'm supposed to be on mushies till Thurs and move to solids. But i graduated myself to solids and have just been chewing till things were basically liquid. I'm going to have to bring myself back to reality and do this right. I'm going to use you as my inspiration. lol Keep up the good work.
