Operation Recommit



Recommended Posts

Here we are folks day two of recommitment to my weight loss goals ~!~ Sunday was kick off day. I didnt do too bad with food, considering I only had a scrambled egg for Breakfast and some sausage. I drank a lot of Water through the day. The day went so quick I just didnt feel like eatting. I had some issues going on that caused me GREAT stress, and since my band is stress sensative, its prolly for the best that I didnt eat. I guess that was something like the beginning phase of after lapband surgery...I did get some exercise in.. actually it was unintentional but HEY it happened. I was involved with an animal rescue...and I helped two other people spend three hours chasing a cat around... I caught the cat, I felt like Rocky catching the chicken!!!!

Day two...I ate a lil more. I had a yogurt for Breakfast and some coffee....lunch was salad and a Protein shake. dinner, baked chicken.

I gotta admit, I am still hungry.. I know its not time for a fill yet.

We will see what the rest of the week is like...

Thanks all for your support.

Hanging with you. I recomment every other day. I am 5lbs from my personal goal and just can't get there, I have come withing 2 but the 0 just won't roll over for me. I am acutally trying to eat more, I seldom feel hungry and often forget to eat. I think my body is now in startvation mode and my hair is drying out so I'm not getting the Protein in. Maybe this is the leg of the journey you and I will take together. I never thought I would need to eat to make the weight move off. target.giftarget.gif

Hello Niterun, nice to "meet" you. I was within 25 pounds of meeting my goal and I became pregnant. I gained back everything I lost, except 20 pounds! So I am basically starting all over again. My daughter is now TWO years old. I was able to maintain my weight over those two years, but I didnt loose either....

Ric, nice to meet you as well~ ugh, that is fustrating~!~ I have a smaller band..and right now, i have NO CLUE how much Fluid is in my band. Sounds like you have hit a plateau.... How much weight have you lost prior to not loosing in the last month or so ??

I am so effin depressed tonight over weight and size and no clothes.....I went shopping for something nice to wear to work and all the clothes are like for women in their 80's (i am 39) and the cost so damn much! I had a cartigan sweater and a tank top in my hands and it was going to cost 100.00~!~ SICK SICK SICK SICK TO DEATH OF THIS BATTLE~!~

As far as keeping to the plan. Today was aight. Prolly not picture perfect according to the plan. I had eggs for breakfast... had some coffee... had a couple of snapple ice teas (diet of course).....then had some cheese ravioli for dinner. I just want to sooo badly dive head first in the bag of potatoe chips that are in the cupbord, and then wash it down with some ice cream....but i wont. i think my body is just going through detox so to speak and I have alot of stress in my life right now, like more than normal...but i will get through that too~!~!~!~!~!~!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
