Getting Ready for Spring Bootcamp



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Yesterday was a good day all round.

Cottage cheese and fruit for Breakfast

Lentil Soup for lunch

Uhmm next to nothing for supper because the pork chop got stuck right at the beginning

A cup of veggies with dip

1 Piece of turkey pepperoni

1 bite of vanilla ice cream...1 bite!

got all my Water in and ended up staying home again because of my cold but did 30 runs up and down my stairs in my house....in three sets of 10. I'm also doing crunches at night because I'm really scared of what my stomach is going to look like at the end of this. Husband is also hiding my scale because I'm being ridiculous about weighing so from now on I only get the scale on Monday morning.

P.S. I don't think that skim milk counts for water but try adding a flavor packet like crystal light to it....that helps a ton of people get all their water in.

Have a great day all!

I NEED A SLAP TO GET DRINKING MY WATER! :bored I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT!!:paranoid .

Do you like the Crystal Light little packets? I don't like some of them, but the lemonade one is pretty good. It helps break up the boringness of Water.< /span>

Girl you have gone from 3 hundreds to 2 hundreds.

Yep, and I am praying for the 100's one day too...I will be totally happy with anything under 200...My surgeon actually gave me a figure on what I ought to be able to lose with the band and it was still over 200...I refuse to think that I cant lose anymore than what he estimated

I actually have no problem drinking Water. I get in plenty of water because I require myself to drink 4 bottles with 20 oz in each per day. I just like drinking skim milk and was wondering if it'd count since it's so watered down anyways. I like the protien and Vitamins it gives me.

Hi guys...home from getting my first fill. It wasn't too bad. It hurt only a little but felt really weird, really the first time I noticed the port and band. I got 4cc's in my 10cc band. They said I probably wouldn't have any real restriction yet, but we'll see. I hope I get a little at least. I had some victories today. The first one was that I just knew I had gained weight but I hadn't gained any at all and had even lost a pound!!! Also, I forgot my blood pressure medicine today but my blood pressure was good, wondering if the 34 pounds is already having an effect on it. Another success, I went to Catherines and was actually able to fit in a pair of jeans (not the elastic kind either). I haven't been in a pair of jeans in I don't know how long!!! So all in all I had a GREAT DAY! I was also relieved to find out that if I don't have restriction by thursday they will see me again on tuesday for another fill!!

I thought this went well with all of us!!! Let's keep it real!!! We are all in this together!!

 

 

You are friendly, kind and caring

Sensitive, loyal and understanding

Humorous, fun, secure and true

Always there... yes that's you.

 

Special, accepting, exciting and wise

Truthful and helpful, with honest advice

Confiding, forgiving, cheerful and bright

Yes that's you... not one bit of spite.

 

You're one of a kind, different from others

Generous, charming, but not one that smothers

Optimistic, thoughtful, happy and game

But not just another... in the long chain.

 

Appreciative, warm and precious like gold

Our friendship won't tarnish or ever grow old

You'll always be there, I know that is true

I'll always be here... always for you.

Smooches....:kiss2:

I am going to go ahead and confess to not making it to my workout yesterday. I had all intentions of doing so but by the time I got home I had such a Migraine that I went to lay down when I got home. I begged my dh to go and get me some meds at the store and on his way home got into a small fender bender so I felt terrible due to him running a begged errand for me at the time. But I will be back on track today hopefully! I am hoping to keep the migraine under control and working out only makes it start throbbing to no end...On a good note, I lost the .5 lb that I had gained and lost another .5...So today I am at 54 lbs

      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. 💜
