Thank u trikki87 of matter if fact I got a wii fitness and started working on it last Monday. Due to colder weather haven't been able to get out and ride bikes or swim so now according to the wii I'm jogging 3 miles aday in 10 min and stair steps in 10 min of 1000 steps. Hopefully i'll start seeing both scale and tape start to drop. I don't want to say this is a woman's world cause I know there r men out there that has the band I guess I'm the only one that has questions or the only man that will ask questions

Women are just more open I think.

Those "manly men" who won't ask for advice (or directions haha) will just be stuck. ask and you shall receive, well as much as we can here. hope you got something out of it. Good luck

I hope that those of you who come across so bitchy don't realize that is how it comes across. Someone just wanted your support. And suggestions. If unable to help somebody don't say anything if you are going to be negative. These forums are for support not slapping someone,s face.

Hely is is not mine or yours or any other band member to tell people what to eat. Medically it is not proper to give people this information. No one is being rude but truthful and if you can't deal with the truth then so be it. You can't tell people not to post just because you don't agree with their answer. I am not going to tell people what they should be eating. He has been given this information on several other threads. We all hit platues its life. Its part of the band. What I eat is not going to make you or him lose weight because what is right for me may not be right for you. No one is being mean. Exactly what you said "you all sound rude" because that is how you interpret it. You do not know how I meant it because you are not in my mind when I was writing it. Everyone needs to be educated on their band, what they should be eating and doing. Support is for someone who is having a bad day not because they dont know what to eat and are not losing weight. Your idea of support is very screwed up. I do not care is you call me rude you all really dont bother me. Like I said if you dont like answers you read then block all of us that you dont like. Its that simple. Im done here. Actually your the one being rude by telling me Im rude. Im not being rude Im being truthful. If you can't take truth then maybe this isnt the place for you. So now I will block all of you since you must love to read what I write or you would have blocked me a long time ago.

Well Cheryl, please do block me. I blocked you last week but am still subjected to all the rude post you make. I guess my block feature doesn't work so I'm hopeful that yours does.

Now when I see a picture of a bee or any of the bee healthy bandsters I do move on, unless its a post that they did not start themselves. I happen to believe that I have something to offer fellow bandsters in terms of support...not ridicule or rudeness.

I wish you busy bees all the best and a continued successful Bandster journey.

The blocking option is not working for me either. I just went back and checked and it says she is blocked but I still see her on here. Oh, well. I will just skip over her.

The scale just wasn't moving and wanted to know the projected cal intake for a man. Measuring isn't full proof. U may not always get tape in right place or maybe u pulled tape alittle tighter this time from last where I feel the scale u can't go wrong. I got up and have lost 2 pounds so that made my day I guess i'll be the type of person to lose every two weeks. I know it's a slow process and don't expect anything any less. Thanks to u all SUPPORTERS we ALL need positive inputs on here and for the most part I feel like I get that here thanks again and good luck to everyone

Kerr, I just googled a few things and according to what I have read, you are not eating enough calories. The websites I saw say you should eat anywhere from 800-1500 calories per day, and more if you are exercising regularly. Your body may be storing this extra weight because it thinks you are in starvation mode. I am not a doctor or nutritionist so I can't say for sure, just telling you what multiple sites say. But I am already eating more than 800 calories and I am only 2 1/2 weeks out. Good luck with everything!!

I can't believe how long this 'dispute' seems to begging in for. Please someone tell me how to stop receiving email notifications when someone responds because at the moment I'm not enjoying all this. Think it's about time you let it drop! Please!!!!

I don't get any notifications at all. If you unsubscribe to this thread you wouldn't see it anymore. Sorry if it was my post that did you in but I only responded once (and now this one) :-(

I don't understand why so much anger. If someone thought I was being rude when I wasnt would hurt my feelings. Maybe if you see a post you think you have seen posted before just move on. Just because anyone here has had the band for an extended amount of time doesnt make them an authority. Life is to short. Stop being s bully!

      Hey everyone!

      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. 💜

      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!

        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. 💜
