Strange week!!!! I find I am eating too much...maybe it's the weekends.. harder to keep on track... lots of family crap going on...... oh well Today... 326 but yesterday 327 :omg: but, I go for my second adjustment in the am........ I must really need it. any hoo I did check my measurements I did loose 2 inches on my hips and thighs.. so the excersise is still working. I have lost 2lbs and 5 1/2 inches over the past 4 weeks. and I am doing liquids today....... have my adjustment in the am... then finish the liquids on Tuesday and start all over again! I have lost 39 pounds with my band (done 12/27/2005) I am going to start on the work to loose the next 21 (or more) pounds to reach my goal for the Bathing Suit ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh:omg: .. This boot camp was fun... I thank the Sarge! it's helped me keep track of what I was doing... scary but very helpful. I'll let you know how I do...... Ten Hut

Reporting in late too.... This week was not so good on the exercise... but food and liquid were pretty good My total weight loss for the week is 2lbs and inches total 4 1/2. I am very proud! I am off for my second adjustment on 3/14/2006 and hope that will help! :clap2:

I met with my nutritionist yesterday. she gave me some tips and wants me to get my heavier calories in earlier in the day. Even though I don't eat after 7:00pm the bulk had been between noon and 7 so I will try it.... I got so many compliments on my eating and journaling.... Write it down... she even gave me a sheet of stickers to give me incentive to commit to my exercise program better... :biggrin1: (I haven't gotten it into a routine yet but am working on it) Today I did the drill 15min on treadmill slow so I can speek, then arm exercising with the 3lb weights, then neck and back, then abs and finally the dreaded sit ups on the balance ball... it is a scream to try to keep on it, but today I did! Good Week to you all!!!

I am proud to report that I have lost 4lbs and a total of 2"!!!!! I missed one of my treadmil times but achieved all other goals set!!! 4 pounds and 2 inches :clap2: I will update my signature later!!!!

At the end of week two, 4:00pm ish I was starving!!!! I called my nutritionist... she recomended that I drink a 8oz glass of milk, slowly. Low Fat is prefered (actually she wants me to drink Fat Free Plus.) It has protein and stays in your stomach longer.. It helped me. Right after school I had my glass of milk and made it a much easier night! Good Luck! Do it, it's worth it!!!!

I too had bad (I"m talkin bad) gas problems... one thing that we were always taught as kids, Lay on your left side, raise your right leg as close to you body will allow and rest in this position while you watch a tv show lets's say........ The angle of the leg and the left side will help to move gas along naturally. My mom always made us do it when we had too many icecream soda's or junk. I tried it post op and I found it really worked. G Good luck and congratulations....... ps make a index card of all questions you have and take it to the doc. for your post op visit!!!!!!!! No matter how dumb the question sounds, ask it... find out what size band he put in.... why the injections,,,, why the meds?????? Keep us posted!!!!

For those of us who believe in a Higher Power, God, Jesus Budah whomever, try this. Print this prayer on business cards and stick them here there and everywhere. In the car, in your wallet, in the bathroom or on the fridg. My good friend who was banded on 11/1/2005 gave it to me. Dear God, I surrender my body and my weight loss to your divine care and love. I ask that you remove all excess unnecessary weight from my body. Return mybody to it’s most healthy and balanced state. Give me eating habits that support my health and life energy, and finally, teach me to love my body and to care for it from this day forth. Amen I know it when I read it I stop... I might eat, I might eat better or sometimes I say "Drink some more water" LOL That and another tip Lynn gave me... eat with a baby spoon it slows ya down... now it's like a love affair with my yogurt... oooooo LOL any hoo just something I would Share! Good Luck to you all! Just Keep Swimming!!!

Thanks, I went back and figured the weights... Bmi will have to wait... my nutritionist has my info and I wont see her till next Tuesday. But I will fill it in when I get it. I just recently took measurements and I will take them again for Next week. I will add to my sign. Till then I won' give up! I must remain on track I have a prayer I say every time I want to eat:hungry: Dear God, I surrender my body and my weight loss to your divine care and love. I ask that you remove all excess unnecessary weight from my body. Return mybody to it’s most healthy and balanced state. Give me eating habits that support my health and life energy, and finally, teach me to love my body and to care for it from this day forth. Amen I printed it on business cards, put one in the car one in my wallet, one on the fridg, one at my desk and so forth. My good friend who was banded on 11/1/2005 gave it to me. She's having trouble with her second fill... I think of her each time I read the prayer and I do that often. I think I will start my first thread with this prayer. I will call it Lynn starting 2/27/2005 banding LBT BOOTCAMP starting at 365 pds 1-1 (-4) 361 1-8 (-17) 338 1-15 (-4) 334 1-22 (1) 335 1-29 (0) 335 2-5 (0) 335 2-12 (-2) 333 2-19 (-4) 329 2-26 3-5

A GOLDEN GOAL OF 50!!!!! :faint: Congratulations!!!!!! Awsome Job!!!!! I can't wait till I get to post my 50lb goal achievment and read about everyonelse working to it too!!

My surgery was easy,,, the fear factor was up but after 4 children, umbilical hernia repair and ankle surgery this was a walk in the park! The key I think is to do exactly as you are told.... I took the pain meds and I did not lift anything over 10lbs. After 2days I had lost 8lbs which helped too! Keep doing the liquids, get your protein in and you will be fine. My hardest strugle was being tired, my doc attributed it to the anesthesia. I had gotten a plastic breathing thing... (you blow into the tube and keep the level up at a steady rate to exercise your lungs) and kept using that for about a month. It helped with the sleepy feeling I had. Keep in mind that you are going to feel better than you did before the surgery!:clap2:

What a tragic event! You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
