Welcome back Marquita and you and Jusme are both doing great!

I want so bad to figure my 4th of July goal, but it is difficult until I know exactly where I end up with this challenge, lol. I am thinking it is going to be a goal of my century mark but we will see :D

WELCOME BACK MARIQUITA!!!! We've missed you!

Losingjusme...you are getting so close to Twoterville. That is so cool!

Molly-so you'd need to lose like 24lbs or so to hit the century mark by the fourth of july?? You can do it. It would be basically three months from now and so that would mean 8lbs/month. Yeah...with your new fitness routine you can hit that!

I'm not sure what I'm going to aim for...probably 25 pounds as well. We'll see what mood I'm in once I see how I make out by the end of this challenge!!

I'm still stalled so deciding my next goal is frusterating. I'm hoping that 25 lbs would be do-able.

I'm still fighting a plateau but sticking to about 1300 calories a day. Sooner or later, the scale will budge. It's frustrating waiting for it to move. You ladies are all doing wonderfully.

Mine's right. Thanks Molly. You did have an awesome week!

Welcome to the challenge losinjusme...the more the merrier!

Well, I'm not sure...I know it's TOM so I've got "issues" right now but I was UP two pounds this morning. I'm trying not to freak out until I check in on Thursday for my week 7/8 check in.

Just remember LapBandit if you are sticking to plan and counting your calorie intake you know you didn't really gain anything except fluids :D I do agree it is discouraging all the same though.

Well I bought my bandiversary present a little early, I picked up a cute dressy/casual jacket from target today. It is tailored and pink linen and super fun :P I'm gonna wear it Easter Sunday with a black skirt and white blouse. I double scored cause it was on clearance!!! For the record it is a size 26! And we all know how target and Walmart clothes run :D

Cool! Yes, Target and Walmart definately run on the small side so it's probably really a size 24!!!!!!!! Incredible!

Yeah, I know...I'm insane for even checking right now. I just checked...my Basal Metabolic Rate is around 1,750 calories a day just to keep me alive so to gain I would've needed to eat 10,500 calories over the past two days to have actually gained two pounds. Show me a bandster who could do that and I'll dance around town naked!! But, we all do it...we see that darn number on the scale and get freaked!!!

Plus, I'm bummed. I just found out tonight that I'm losing my health insurance at the end of this month. Now, we've got a stupid Health Savings Account with a $1200 annual deductible. So, I'm pretty much screwed. That news plus TOM means I am really grumpy right now and need to vent!!!!!!

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      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. 💜
