I've been wearing a very baggy 16 jeans for a while. I decided to go to old navy last week because they had jeans on sale for $19. I got a size 14 and a size 12(for later on). I get home to try on the 14s and they fit a little loose. I decided to try on the 12s and they fit fine. I was so excited.I can imagine how excited you were. I was actually quite scared when I was trying on the size 16 jeans, I wanted them to fit so badly but I am so accustomed to them not fitting in the past, when they did fit and were not tight oh my godness....:confused:

I am very boring the same thing every morning (but I like it)
Quaker Oatmeal - usually the brown sugar one. I can not eat first thing in the morning. I wait until I get to work at 8am and eat it.
-
Also--Breakfast. I am not as hungry in the morning and am really tight. So I would skip Breakfast. But now I have some hot green tea, wait a half an hour and just eat very slow and have a scrambled egg with some turkey sausage.
I can't eat breakfast first thing in morning either, I fixed my kids breakfast here at home and when I get to work around 8am I fix my oatmeal and then slowly eat it - usually takes my around 35 minutes to eat. Now don't get me wrong I am hungry when I wake up but I know I can not eat without getting stuck so I don't try.

I try to stay around 1100 calories a day, sometimes it goes down to around 1000 or up to 1200 but I definitely try to not go above that.

Went shopping at Wal-Mart today and decided it was time to get some new jeans - was wearing 16W but they were way too big, kept having to pull them up. Well my niece convinced me to try a size 16 - and they fit, and fit very nicely I must say. This is the first time in I do not know how long I have a pair of jeans without a letter behind the size :laugh: I have to admit to trying them on again when I got home and just staring at myself in the mirror and saying you know what I DO look good.

I remember you miss Trudeip! Congrats on your wtloss! Thank you for posting what you do - I am always curious as what other banders are doing daily to lose wt.Congrats on your weight loss you have done excellent :laugh:

I am using the Walk At Home DVDs by Leslie Sansome. I have only been using them for a month but boy have they made a HUGE difference. :laugh:
-
Hi Trude, thanks for checking in. You are doing great.I have an Ipod Touch, where can I find this application? It sound like just what I need.
I have Lose It - you could find one of two ways - the easiest would probally through itunes, go to applications and then the free ones under helathcare and fitness then look at the free ones. There are a lot of them but I really like this one because it is free and it comes with a database of foods.
-
Orea, is the The Daily Plate. I like it because I can use it on my IPhone when I am out, and then use my computer when I am home.What I have is "Lose It"

Hello everyone, I have not check in a while. I doubt anyone will even remember me. I was banded in Mexico on July 2nd. I have lost right at 46 pounds. I started at 248lbs I am as of this morning 202.8 I am so close to onderland, closer than I have been in probably 7 years. I am so excited. I am tracking my food everyday on a free application I found for my ipod touch and I am exercising almost everyday with Walk at Home DVDs Leslie Sansome - they are great exercise dvds. I have only been tracking the weight and doing the regular exercise for the past month and boy has it made a huge difference.
I have had 2 fills so far and believe at least for now I am at a good place restriction wise - I think I have 2cc's in (sorry I know I should know the exact #) I was told my band will only hold around 4 cc's.
I have read through alot of the posts and everyone is doing so well, congrats,

I would also suggest calling your doctor. I have 5 incisions and two of them still have the steri strips on them that the doctor originally put on. I was sent home with bandages on and was told to clean them (I just used a saline wash I did not rub them at all) and put new bandages on for a few more days. You really should try to get moving more too. Good luck :scared2:
-
Congratulations!!!!! :scared2: The day I reach onederland will be the best day ever. I am so very happy for you and I think getting something for yourself is a wonderful idea. I have not yet decided what my reward will be but I will be buying something some sort of clothing item or items :biggrin2:
-
Nothing but walking helped with the gas pains. The night of the surgery I was up every hour walking back and forth in my room due to the gas pains. I am now 10 days out and all gas gone. A couple incisions still sore and can only sleep on right side still but better everyday.
It is still hard to believe I actually did this :biggrin:
-
I was banded in TJ Mexico on 7/2, arrived back on 7/4. Still sore, better everyday. Still having a hard time sleeping - just getting in a comfortable position to sleep, I can only sleep on my right side. All of my incisions are on my left side. Gas is pretty much gone. I have no appetite yet. Trying to get liquids in. Sticking to broth, Jello and Popsicles. My family is being wonderful, specially my husband.
-
The shakes aren't sooo bad. :redface: You actually get used to them. I also made mine with Water - cold water (tasted better than just cool water or room tempature water). I just bought a blender yesterday for after surgery and used it to make my shakes today (was just well shaking them up) and boy does making them in a blender make a huge difference.
I have had one minor surgery (tubal) and must admit I am nervous too. To be honest the whole things has not really hit me just yet. I am leaving for Mexico tomorrow and surgery on Wed. I will be glad when I am heading home

I can not believe it is finally time. The first of us will get banded on Tuesday and Wednesday. BethO and I are going to Mexico to have our surgeries so we are leaving here - Florida - Monday and having our surgeries on Wednesday, July 2nd. I have to say it really has not completely sunk in yet that I am actually doing this. I am getting so excited. Still a mixture of nerves but more excited than scared (well until the day of Surgery )
Because we won't be here we will not be able to see the post of the people from the 1st until after our surgeries. I will post when we get home - on the 4th.
I am just so excited for all of us :biggrin2:

thanks you guys, I really appreciate the support. I am not looking forward to the dreaded liquid diet, yuk:scared2:. I am hungry already just thinking about the liquid diet.< /div>I am also a July person - I am getting banded on July 2nd. I am currently on the liquid diet - actually drinking lunch right now :Angel_anim: I read this board everyday, it has helped so very much. My emotions are so jumbled up right now it is crazy :smile2: I think I would be nuts by now if not for this board.
Good luck - you should check out the thread for people being banded in July 2008.
You better believe I am freaking, one moment I am completely excited the next moment I am a mixture of scared and nervous. :thumbup: I really just want to get the surgery over and then start the hard part but good part. :biggrin2:
Ok so are any of you July 2nd Bandsters freaking out like I am or am I alone in this? Oh boy am I nervous! Exicited, but nervous!
Who made the list? I want to be added to the list, please. I am scheduled for July 2nd. :biggrin2:

I am also schedule for surgery on July 2nd. I am excited, nervous, and sometimes just plain scared. I know I am doing the right thing for me and for my family. I am going to Mexico for my surgery. You should check out the board for July 2008 people. Good luck and welcome to the board. :ohmy:
I said goodbye to a whole slew of different foods. I did not want to feel deprived later on. Hey I found out that some of them I do not think I will actually miss all that much afterall. I will be a different person in respect to food after and this for me is just the important process.:ohmy:

Thank you everyone, went to the mall today. It was nice strolling around the mall in my nicely fitting size 16's knowing I am under 200. :thumbup:
