Spring Bootcamp 2006



Recommended Posts

Sarge these are the numbers that have been reported.

Sarge's instructions were that we did not have to report until this week 5/15 but so many people posted last weeks I put it on the chart.

How to record what you are reporting: Monday 5/15 weigh in will be posted on 5-8 because it reflects the weight loss for 1 week 5/8 - 5/15.

EXAMPLE

SPRING Bootcamp 2006

4-17------273

4-24------271

5-1 ------270

5-8 ------267

5-15

5-22

The date is the date the person reported their weight loss.

purple are the numbers reported for 5/1/06

green are the numbers reported for 5/8/06

Im here, just stuck at 258, I started back at the gym this week, wow it feels great, Im starting to get in a routie about what and how I eat, Im on my second fill, and I think ( know ) I need another . but Doc wants me to wait another 10 days, then he is going to tighten me all the way down till I cant drink, and then back off a .5 cc, he says it is a procedure that they dont do often but with my port on the move. Its Moved 5 inches to the left and down a bit. he wants to get my sweet spot and not have to acess it as much, I may have to go in to stich it back down but we would like to avoid that as much as possiable.

see you on the skinny side.

Attention!

Sarge Here

Well Well Well

Looks like everyone has been on their toes while I enjoyed my R & R.

Nice Job Privates!

Great jobs Private Shore & Teresita!

Thank You

I would have been back yesterday but the rain here has damaged my ceilings & I have a bit of a house problem.

I want you all to know it was not just fun & games for me while I was away. I worked out 7 of the 8 days I was away & swam inbetween workouts. I am down to 210.5 my lowest yet. I am going to kick it up a notch till June & try & see below 200.

I will be reading the reports that came in today & have an official update by this evening with everyones new stats. Again looks like you ALL were really working hard on yourselves -

YOU SHOULD ALL BE VERY PROUD!

I AM!

I had an unofficial weigh in yesterday.....+1 pound. Here is the excuse I drank a 16 ounce lemonade and ate a rice crispy treat right before I weighed. OK nevery mind that was just wrong. All the dang calories in the lemonade are just rediculous.

Needless to say that will be gone next week. I am looking at a 5 pound lost next week. YEAHHHHH

I have walked everyday this week and have don 38 miles so far this month. You should walk 5 miles a day or 10,000 steps. I am shooting for this goal.

Hey Sarge, reporting in late as usual, no loss again this week. However I did just get my first fill this week. Had to travel a little bit but really liked the Dr., Dr. Garwood in College Station, Tx....I don't know if I'm restricted or not since I'm back only on fluids, :) but hopefully I'll find out soon. I am exercising way more regularly. (okay, okay, Telly is motivating me to get off my @ss!!!, thanks Telly!) Soooo, here's to next weeks numbers!

Hi Everyone- Private Teresita & Shore thank you again for holding down the fort - even as I type. This has been a HORRIBLE week & I have had zero time to do anything. My mother had surgery & that went fine except she pinched a nerve in her back & welll I have had to travel or spend the night over there through out the week. Than the rain & my ceilings leaking!! Holy COw! The guy is out of business & its only 8 years old. Crappy job he did. So I am dealing with workers. Than of course things in 3-----one of my dearest friend's Mother dies yesterday. So I have food to make & a wake & furneral to go to.

So Please all of you keep doing what your doing & know that I am so stinking diligent during this week that I haven't messed up but one time. (over my frineds death) & even than I still haven't gained an ounce. --Why ??? Because of all of YOU!! I don't want to start rep[orting in tomorrow or Sat & have any weight gain - only loss'. Miss you all & I am back just in the BRINK right now;0)

Mission Accomplished! This week I have had a 5 (FIVE) pound loss AND a 2.5 inch loss!!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Just for fun I went back to my First Bootcamp Stats on 2/21/06 and Totaled the numbers~~~~ 23inches~~~~ WooRah!!! And total weight loss since my surgery 5months ago is ~~~76lbs~~~~

Both my Dr. and Nutritionist wanted me to keep a Journal and this has been one order that I have followed constantly! I record my Daily weight, Calories, Protein, Oz of liquid and notes daily. (measurements did not start till 2/21/06 when I joined BootCamp)

I am Proud of this accomplishment! I used 4x6 index cards, one for each day and carried them with me at all times! Charting every thing that passes into my Body. But I found a new tool.

I went out on Friday and purchased myself a new toy! I bought a Palm Z22 Handheld (Its a bit smaller than a deck of cards and cost $99.00) After setting it up and registering the device with my computer and entering my calendar, contacts and such I found a program at Palm.com called DIET ANS EXERCISE. It was $19.99 and after you put in your charge card it downloads on both your computer and the Handheld. It is the Bomb! It records your personal information, BMI, Diet Plan, and has zillions of food choices that can be used, edited or added to, to record your Daily Log. It also lets you record your exercise and does all the calculations as calories burned vs calories taken in. It is new and I continue to use my Index cards till I get the hang of it but I think I am going to love it..

I have stopped toting my Date book, Diet Journal and millions of notes, phone numbers and papers in my Pocketbook! New Me!!!!!! ( I was the original BAG LADY with the over stuffed suitcase with all the papers bulging out of my bag)

I thought I would share this new found TOOL incase anyone else out there was interested. One of the most effective things I have done is keep my journal.

One more thing I have recently changed is going back to a Protein Drink at least once a day. (I wasn't getting in enough protein) My Daily Intake Goal has been: Calories at 1200, Protein at 80+ and my Ounces of liquid at 80+. I really need to take a cue from Telly and Kick up the Excersise!

Thanks to all my LapBandTalk Friends who have encouraged me and kept me from going AWOL. I can't wait to post every week and see everyone's posts!

A BIG WOO HOO TO ALL OF US WHO HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE THIS WONDERFUL JOURNEY TOGETHER!!!!!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      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. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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!
