Bostongurl started following Ideal weight...how did you decide?, Can anyone drink beer?, need help to get back on track and and 7 others
-
I can drink beer, but find most very uncomfortable to drink, so I tend to stay away from them. THere are some beers out there that are less carbonated that I don't have any issues with. I.E. Guinness, Boddingtons, etc.

April 06 Bandsters, how are we doing?
Bostongurl replied to Bostongurl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I can't believe we're coming up on our three year!! I started going to support groups recently...yes, it took me a while, but I think it's helping talking face to face with other people who have been banded, even if I'm always the one whose been banded the longest. Hope you're all doing well! -
I went by today to try to find the water bottle and was so sad they didn't have it! So glad you guys found it, I guess I'll wait to grab it until the next meeting?

It was nice meeting you all as well, I tend to be a listener more than a talker, but I'll try to chime in more next time.

I'm planning on going to the 3/17 meeting. Last month was my first one and I found it very helpful. Hope to see many of you there again. Coral

need help to get back on track
Bostongurl replied to awifetobrian's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hey Starr, Sorry to hear about all of your struggles, that must have been really frustrating to get down to 165 and then b/c of a medication, re-gain some of the weight. First I'll tell you, you're not alone. I was banded in April 06, and where I am very proud of the weight I've lost, I know I have a long ways to go. I've basically lost and regained the same 5lbs for the last year or so, which is really frustrating. I feel like I should be further along by now, but am still very thankful for my band. I'm pretty sure if I didn't have it, I would have regained the 75+ lbs I've lost and probably more! So over the last month, I've been working really hard to always write down everything I consume as well as write down what I'm burning when I go to the gym. I actually bought a Polar heart rate monitor, that allows you to set goals and tracks your progress. I've successfully lost 9lbs over the last month, which is a really good rate. Its SOOO hard, but I've found that the most important part, is going to the gym regularly!. Stick with it, we'll get through this!! Keep me posted on how you're doing. -
Who Has Lost Over 100 Pounds?!?!

I can't wait until I can be a part of this list! You're all an inspiration! -
protein drinks--before OR after exercise
Bostongurl replied to jbflorida's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I've heard that the best time to exercise is first thing in the morning before you eat anything. When your body doesn't have food to use as fuel, that's when it starts to use it's "reserve" aka fat. That sounds great and all, but I'm pretty sure I won't be getting up at 5am anytime soon. So the second best option is to eat something low in carbs 90 minutes before you workout. I've been drinking a protein shake 90 minutes before I workout and have seen a huge difference in my performance, which means more calories burned. Bottom line is that we could all read something different everyday with all of the available information; we each just have to do what works best for us. Trial and error I guess! -
Hi!
Saw your inspiration! Those are mine too. I hope you achieve it. How are you doing anyways? Take care, Paty

April 06 Bandsters, how are we doing?
Bostongurl replied to Bostongurl's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hey Kat, Sorry to hear you've had a rough time, it's certainly an ongoing battle isn't it? I know for me, when I was loosing weight I was following ALL the rules 99% of the time, and the more time that has past the more rules I've been breaking. It's hard to stay motivated, I can definitely relate to that. Hopefully you will get the right amount of restriction soon as that's half the battle. Once you're there, it's just making the right food choices and getting ourselves moving. That's been my biggest downfall over the last 6 months or so. But I joined a new gym that I really like, and hopefully I'll continue to be as motivated as I am now. Best of luck to you and keep in touch! I
