Hi all,

Down two this weekend...First time away from home since being banded. Ate out three times and it was amazing to order a bowl of Soup as a meal and feel more than satisfied. I want to be in twoterville by Saturday...that is my goal.

Not sure how my dh did this weekend...will update my post when he calls with his weight.

:lol: Happy Monday everyone!

Rain

One vacation down (and 4 lbs) and 1 more to go. Leaving on Saturday again. Made the ride to Sturgis and around and it was great 3513 miles, 8 states in 9 days. I think that helped with the loss. This week it's to Vegas and Cali for my baby's 21st bday so it might not be as diet friendly...lol

OK I am officially out of the challenge this month. I have officially hit rock bottom of bandster shame. I won't go inot details as I wouldn't want to tempt anyone to eat the soft yummy things I have eaten this past week. I fell off the wagon into the land of easy to eat foods because I was home with no work to do and all I had was me and the pantry. Any self respecting woman can make sinful delights from the basic contents of any even healthy pantry. I was so ashamed of the damage that I have done that despite how much I wanted to give in and eat those comfort foods I snapped and said no more! Eating that crap is what got you fat to start with and eating it will only undo the hard work you've already done and have already started to undo. This chip stops here as does the pie and whatever else my brain might think that I want or need to feel good. The fact is all it does is make me feel bad within 10 minutes of eating it, sometimes sooner. Happiness and freedom is not being a slave to food, as deprived as I feel some times, ok a lot of the time, it is moments like today when I walked by those items in the store even though I really wanted them that make me see that freedom is not eating all the foods I want freedom is not having to eat those things. Our bands oare our tickets to freedom from obsessions with food as a security blanket and an answer to all of lifes problems. I wish I could give up food all together it would be so much easier. My goal is not to get to 269 by the end of the month my goal is to get my self respect backand regain self control! The scale said 289 this morning there is no way in hades that I am gonna let it say 290+ ever again. 290 is way to close to 300, heck the 80's are too close. I can't believe I let it go this far. Even my pants are tighter. Ladies, life handed me a free intervention today and I plan to ride it as far as I can. If at the end of the month I feel like I need a smidge more restriction then I will go for a fill, but I need to eat real food for several days before I can make a proper assessment as to my actual restriction. I am feeling strong right now, stronger than I have in weeks. Not only do I have the desire to be good but I finally found the strength to act on it and to say no when faced with temptation. I only hope that tomorrow I can be just as strong or stronger. Take care everyone, we owe it to ourselves to succeed at this.

Thanks Christine :confused:

Well the scale instantly rewarded my efforts yesterday, yay :whoo:

All I have to do is be on track for 1 week and I will be back in the groove again. I just need to reform those good habits.

HI everyone. I've been so out of the loop lately. I'm sorry and hope everyone is doing well. I'm in the middle of moving AND starting a new job so I haven't had much time. (yes, I'm STILL moving, LOL!)

Today is my one year bandiversary. I'm down 107 and feeling great. I got my life back. Had the courage to interview for a job and landed it! Things are looking up and I really feel the band gave me the courage to take the necessary steps.

Best to you all! Hope to be back soon.

Yay Libra :clap2: Happy Bandiversary :blush:

Hope to see you back soon, good luck with the move and grts on the new job :D

Well so far so good today for me. I really wanted junk again today, but not nearly as badly as yesterday, so that's a bright spot :) After dinner I am still under 1000 cal so I can have a sensible snack tonight if I so choose. Who knows may I'll treat myself to some healthy pop, hehe. Have a good evening 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. 💜

        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. 😍

      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. 💗

        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. 💜
