NOW thats what I call determination Teresa! Good for you!!!!!! :whoo:I am very proud of your come back & especially of your focus. So did I mark your weight correct from the beginning of Bootcamp ? I think I did but want to make sure.

Lsasha- Oh girl I know that kind of pain about chocolate too! Infact I broke down last week while I was burnt & bought chocolate Easter eggs w/peanut butter in them. So you and I both will have to be careful w/Easter:Bunny :Bunny just around the corner. 5 pounds you can loss that really fast I just know it!:nod:

The good news is I have experienced w/the band that once you get back on track the weight seems to WANT to fall off VERY QUICKLY. I mean its like the band wants to get back to were it was before the gain. This morning I am down one more pound so I lost the 1.5 from last week & now need to try & loose 4 before the weight in next Sunday/Monday. Being realistic I think I may loose 2 & I actually would be happy with that. If I lost more I will be jumping for JOY>:Bunny :Bunny :high5:

BigEthel/Penni( i know your not weighing in but checking in can help keep focus) All the others-- My new soliders?- Where are you girls/guys?

HI Jen

Congrats on your recent banding & your commitment to yourself.

All I need for bootcamp is what you loose every week by Sunday or Monday of that week. So you have officially 3 weeks left till the end of Bootcamp. Maybe in your signature(Like mine) you can put the dates of 2-19, 2-26, 3-5 & than at the end of each of those weeks we can see & add your weight loss & body fat% - if you have that & or inches. Inches I think are most important, so measure yourself today if possible. I already added in your name & 5 pds- good for you!

Also I plan on doing another Bootcamp starting in late March for the springtime. So happy your with us here & now!

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

Amen Jen!

I too pray every night that the Lord lets my body except this tool inside & for me to have the conviction to work with it daily.

I enjoyed your prayer very much.

The one thing I have taped in huge print on my frig is

"What have you done today to make you feel proud?"

Its the theme song from the biggest loser & it helps me to make better choices.

Keep focus & good luck

I am SOOOO proud.

Thanks for all the support. I love this thread. It makes me laugh and motivates me.

OK I am recommiting to this thread.

I will follow my Nutrisystem meal plans.< /span>

I will exercise for a minimum of 20 min a day 4 days a week.

I will lose at least 1 lb a week.

I will drink at least 64 ounces of Water a day.

I cannot continue to eat unhealthy and expect to lose weight.

I cannot continue to not exercise and expect to lose weight.

I cannot continue to buy pills, buy exercise equip, etc then not use them and expect to lose weight.

I cannot continue to feel sorry for myself because I do not have the band anymore.

There is that good enough for you? I am talking to my excess weight demon. Yeah you - you good for nothing bad seed.

To quote the almighty, "Get thee behind me, (excess weight demon)!"

I really need you all and your posts, so please keep em coming. I appreciate you all more than you know!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
