I was wondering for those of you who track their calories and such. What is your target amount of Protein, Carbs and Fat? I have been looking at my Fitday pie chart and I know its not where I want fat is the highest and protein the lowest but I was wondering how many grams of each people are shooting for?

Its been fun watching it drop when I was on the cleanse. Now it will be interesting to see how much of it comes back when I start eating again...

I dont even have a date yet but I remember reading once that *whispers* wiping yourself is very difficult after surgery. I think that person recommended tongs to hold the TP to wipe. I was wondering if anyone else faced that challenge and what they did?

I wear under wire now because I like the support but usually by the end fo the day I'm in pain. The place that always hurts is under my arms where breast is supposed to end and side begin.. Someone never gave mine the notice so I always end up bruised there by the boning in the bra. Fun furn... One of the many things I hope improves when I lose weight.

PB - Productive Burp I believe from what I have read its burping and you food comes back up but Im not yet banded so I could be off a bit.

The sodium in the Chinese foods will help you retain water. (can't believe I said that lol) Wear heavy clothes thick jeans and a Heavy sweater. If they weigh you with shoes boots maybe?

I respect the wishes of the person I am visiting. I will ask if they would like me to remove my shoes. When I lived in Canada it was customary to remove your shoes after all who wants to be tracking snow and mud all over the house. In Ecuador nobody removed their shoes. Here in Cali it depends on who I'm visiting and I respect their wishes.

Boopie From what I've heard we are not required to do the 6 month diet although my understanding is it can take up to a year from referral to get all the required apts done and of course whatever weight they need you to lose. Which is why I was pleasantly suprised to see how quickly Momcof3 got hers done. Gives me hope. I might be banded by years end.

That is weird I think in my area it is BMI 40 or comorbidies. Momcof3 I just realized you went from orientation to band in like three months that is really great. What did you do to manage to lose the 20lbs you needed to lose in that time?

Only two more days of the cleanse left. Yikes I know I am going to gain a good chunk of what I lost back I just hope its not all of it *gulp* Name_________Start Weight__CurrentWeight______Goal______Lbs lost ****************:tt2:********************************:eek:* 1day at a time.....263............261..........243..............2 2BHealthE!.........194............179............194............0 ahsem2bme..........244............244............225............0 aJoneen............223............221............213............2 Aphrodite1984......208............208............190............0 Ariel..............199............196.4..........180..........2.6 ArmyWife4life......209.5..........209.5..........190............0 Barb12590..........228............223............213............5 Bea1128............210.5..........207............188..........3.5 blueriley..........206............206............190............0 Brandymom1234......227............151.9..........135..........4.1 Caramia71..........208............203............195............5 cQQlgirl...........194............194............180............0 Crzytchr...........281............277............265............4 DebinFl............181............181............168............0 georgiagirl........245............234............230...........11 HarleyGirl.........188............187............175............1 HeatherA...........210.5..........209............200..........1.5 HeatherO...........155............150............140............5 Ivyrose325.........212............212............199............0 Jazzyywan..........255............255............190............0 Jodi_620...........196............188............177............8 KikiVal315.........237.5..........235............220............0 Lana24.............208............195............185............0 laurigee...........180............180............160............0 Leslie2Lose........220............214............205............6 lindar172 .........274.2..........271............256..........3.2 LisaB..............205.5..........200............180..........5.5 livn4thm...........235............233............210............2 Long2bthin.........248............244............230............4 Luu2008............203............199.5..........183..........3.5 KikiVal315.........237.5..........235............220..........2.5 Mamanmidwife.......299............292............280............7 mamato3............186............186............170............0 MarinaBleu.........226.5..........226.5..........216............0 memom..............210............210............170............0 Minxz..............299............285............280...........14 mominlv13..........299.8..........294.8..........275............5 nip50..............175............173............160............2 NurseNiki..........258............255............239............3 odamay.............242............242............225............0 paige65............252............247............232............5 Peaches11..........205............205............194............0 pj_txlady..........220............220............200............0 Redtulips3.........180............180............170............0 Renee74............214............213............199............1 Renewedhope........171............170............150............1 reif78.............294............195............185............0 shaversd...........230.5..........227............210..........3.5 SpecialK...........294............290............280............4 Sunshine2..........177............171............167............6 Tess...............304............304............280............0 thatDEgirl.........211............209............195............2 Turler.............225............219............210............6 wendyw.............192............192............172............0 wowox7.............195............190............170............5 WyominGirl.........327............321............312............6

Nintendo gaming system that involves actual movement. They even have a game called Wii fit that I hear is very good though I haven't been able to buy it yet.

Wow I think we were only told to take one a day and in tablet form. I can't imagine I would have the patience for that either. I hope you find something that works for you!

In my orientation class they said that both banders and Bypassers had to take calcium citrate. I wonder if you could cut the pill in half and take it with two different meals?

Momof3 do you mind me asking how much they required you to lose?

I did orientation already I think the nutrition 101 is the next apt which is scheduled in 2 weeks. I have my binder and have been endeavoring to make the adjustments to my eating. Its a work in progress. I was just curious if they had you do a liquid diet prior like it seem a lot of surgeons do and if you were on liquids for a long time after.

I'm sorry to pepper you with questions Vicky but what was your preop and postop diets like? How long did they last? I know they will answer that as I get closer but I like to have stuff in my mind to psych up for it.

I meant the whole process to get surgery :embaressed_smile:

Are there any other people on the board right now running the Kaiser Marathon? Anyone going to SSF? Where are you in the program?

I loved your post Josie

I want to play to! I am trying to lose so I can get my band.

My understanding is that for the band to work efficiently snacking is strongly discouraged. You are supposed to eat your 3 meals a day and the band is supposed to help you feel full until your next meal. I am not yet banded but that is the information I have received through my research.

I love the elliptical as well. You can target different areas during your work out and its quieter at least it seems so to me. I always feel like the whole world shakes when I'm on a treadmill lol
