Hey guys! So I used to do nutrisystem a few years ago, and the best part was the challenges on the message boards. Basically its just a group of us that post often and provide support, vent, share victories, and just chat! You pick a goal for the duration of the challange (like maybe a July 4th one for now!) and post weekly weigh ins.

I just got banded on 6/2 and as Ill be moving to soft foods in a few days, I would definitely love a good challenge and some new friends! So let me know if you are interested and Ill start a new thread with it!

congrats on the band! how are you feeling? Im about 9 days out and definitely feeling back to myself- so hang in there!

So pick a goal weight you'd like to hit by July 4th. So for instance, im at 223. By July 4th Id like to be 210. So my goal is 13 lbs in the 3 weeks. Granted after just being banded, your priority should be healing and not weight loss- but its still fun to have a challenge! Usually we also add things in like drinking all of your Water for the day, and exercising at least 3-5x per week (since we are both new bandsters, for us I guess light walking would be better!)

What do you think? anything you'd like to add?

I actually feel great! I like the goal weight I think adding the Water is good - I used to drink tons of Water every day until the band now its a little harder I am sure it will get easier - OK As of surgery day I was 236 so by July 1 I would like to be at 221 so 15lbs~ :rolleyes:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
