Outrageous Octobers



Recommended Posts

I'm on my way to being banded in October, hopefully the 15th or 18th... Yahoo... Tough work, but well worth it.

Are you getting banded then too?? I would love to have friends to talk and share my experiences with, for Encourgament and Cheers for scale & NSV goals.

Hi sweetie. I am signed up for October 8th. My pre-op visit is Sept.23rd and my 14 day fast starts Sept. 24th.

That is my 44th wedding anniversary. I have children older then you. I'm sure you was looking for someone a little younger but our journey will start close together.

I guess we have to start some place.

17 days till I start to fast. 14 days fasting before B-day.

No, not my birthday! B-day it's what I call Gran's Band Day. I also would just love to get on with it. I'm VERY nervous. The not knowing what to expect is the worse. I promise to try and help you all and write every day when fasting so you have some kind of an idea. For now I am trying to get use to the PAP machine. Guess where that is going after surgury?

Am I posting this right?

Soul... I feel the same way... I'm am dying with anticipation for this...

A - Welcome 10/19 is coming up soon, Have you started practicing anything? I have statrted to eat slower and I'm thinking about what I would order if I went out to dinner... It's tough!!!

Gran... I love the Gran's Band Day - that is great... I'm getting my CPAP machine this week - not to happy about that. I was really really supprised that I had to have one... I don't even snore... (at least not that much)... But I'll ride the wave... At least I know I won't need it for too long, then my husband will have a spare... He snores like a freight train....hehe... I'malso very courious to see how your 14 day diet goes... I'm very nervous about that....

Tannie - Welcome to OO's... I think I would dread that 2 week diet too... I can't take the Carnation shakes... But I love the Kirkland Protein... 30g, 5 carbs and 3 fats... chocolate milk - super good... I am getting the Allergan Band, hopefully it's a good one...

So Team October... What how do you all feel about cooking after the band??? Will you change what you make for your families too???

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend...:thumbup::thumbup:

Hey

What does NVS mean? I'm sure I will go duh, I knew that after you tell me. lol

NSV means Non-Scale Victory, i.e Baggie Clothes, taking a great hike without being winded, dropping sizes, getting more deffinition in your muscles. It can also be, passing up the more fatty food choices for healthy ones...

Small steps make giant leaps, in our game...

Hi all October bandsters...I was given a date today - October 18th. I do not have my approval from insurance company as of yet but I do not think I will have a problem. My Dr. only does a 2 day liquid diet pre-surgery. Don't know if that is a good thing or not. Feeling a little anxious but I know the outcome for all of us will be great. I have learned not to dwell on the negative posts on this site. They can make you a little crazy. For all of you C-pap users I have some advice. Keep trying masks until you find the one that is comfortable for you. It took me about 10 tries until I found a good one.. Good luck all and I am sure we will be talking again...:)

non scale victory! I like that. I'll take any kind of victory I can get. Thanks for the PAP mask info. I have changed three times and I thought he was just being nice when he said this happens often. I have lost 9 1/2 pounds this month but suddenly since I have my date I'm having trouble eating to much. I have coped a bad attitude saying better eat this now since it will be a long time till I eat again. Not good, not good at all. I have enough to lose without adding to it.

Hi there - I am 55 1/2 years old and am also doing this to increase my energy level. I find that I get winded when I walk around and this troubles me terribly. I can so relate to what you said about the pre-diet. It is like the famous sunday night before a monday diet. My mask is a Res-med swift FX. It is the lightest most comfortable one I have tried and I have tried a million. Lets keep in touch and we can compare notes on this venture we are taking...:blushing:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
