Good Morning Avilla, great job on your .5 lost. LOL I just love you. It took you 1 day to lose.5 and it took me all week to lose 1 pound. LOL

Hey I lost 1 pound!!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO

Back at ya girl!!! Mine just fluctuates so bad there is just no telling from 1 day to another what my weight is going to be. Wish I had a chrystal ball or something! I dont want to think about mine too hard or I might turn around and find what I thought I had lost..lol

Everyone's weight fluctuates all day long. It depends on the moon, the tide, the day, the people you are around, your pressure, your food, your exercise, your liver, your world and everything else. LOL :D :biggrin1:

So we are not going to focus on the scale daily but that we are doing the Bandster thing and move forward.:humble: :(

They say confession is good for the soul....here goes...I think I have a mental problem as I self-sabatoge myself alot lately. I know what to do to make my body lose weight but I somehow manage to make it a day or two following good band diet/exercise/water rules then a little demon appears and I end up cheating on my diet... First confession, I did not workout yesterday; 2nd confession, I ate a pack of reece Peanut Butter cups candy last night and a brownie! What is WRONG with me?!?! :cry :heh: :( I was on my way to the YMCA to get my workout in and stopped off shopping and never made it. Am I a Fruitloop or what?

I got so mad at myself for screwing up my diet again. I am so crazy for doing these things.

I did manage to get all my Water in yesterday, big-deal, did not counteract the calories and fat in that candy and brownie I ate.....Anyone else have this self-sabatoge disorder? :think I know God has not blessed me to have come this far in losing 140 pounds at one point after the band to mess it up now.

Suggestions please!

Good Morning Campers!

I'd like to thank Bandida, Avilla, Teresita and everyone for their kind words re: my little victories!

Avilla-migraines suck!! Way to go on the weight loss.

You too! Teresita

LapBandFan- so you screwed up-SO WHAT! You have obviously been doing things right most of the time to lose 140 pounds! So don't, I repeat DO NOT beat yourself up. Just make today a good day! and getting your Water in is a big deal!

I am going to get in all my water today!!!!

Don't feel bad. Yesterday seemed to be a bad day for a lot of us. I had to goto the funeral home for visitation of a long lost friends grandfather. The funeral home happened to be the one we had my brothers at back in 1982. It just brought up memories and I came home and had a small plate of baked ziti (hubby surprised me with dinner ready when I got home. YAY!) and then I had a bowl of ice cream! But... I got my Water in! hahaha. I went to bed early without exercise. I'll try harder today!

just wanted to tell you guys I love ya all because you're so supportive and I've belonged to a couple groups on lapbandtalk since i joined and this one keeps me coming back. Thanks for being so GREAT!

Ladies, thanks so far for your responses and encouragement. I too, like you, am glad you all are here for me too for support!

New plan of action:

  • Stop looking back at past mistakes and yesterday's goof up.
  • Exercise 30 minutes on treadmill here at home (no time for club today)
  • Drink 84 oz water
  • Journal all my food
  • Look at this pic of myself before my band and make myself say "Band saved my life, I can keep on" (see pic below)
  • Come to this board often throughout the day for motivation and support.

Lap Band we are right there with you. We confess in other places sometimes *cough my journal* LOL We all slip but dwelling on it is not going to get us where we need to go. So you are doing the right thing by making a plan and I'm sure we will be piggy backing off your plan. LOL Great job on the Water yesterday. You satisfied a craving or some stress and now you are moving forward. You have done a marvelous job and we can learn a lot from you. Thank you for being hones and sharing.

Here's mine I did good at work as I see it. I had 700 calories while here, slimfast, michelina frozen meal and butterfinger thingy. Went home and had a bowl of ceral, ran an errand and had some loaded fries from Checkers, a small baked chicken thigh when I got back home. After tops I had a McD sundae, went to Safeway bought and ate some grapes, at home at some pizza thingys from Michelinas frozen stuff and a butterfinger thingy. It was wrong but today is a new day. I went to the gym and I am trying to get in as many extra steps as possible. I need to lose 3 pounds to get below 370 and I know I can't do it eating that kind of stuff EVERYDAY. I am 13 pounds away from a 100 pound lost. I am going to do this by February. I have already claimed it and it is mine.

Yeahhhh

Josette it is a new day baby. We love you so smile today. Keep on drinking that water and skim milk. LOL

So far so good on the exercising 5 times a week. It has only been 2 days so far this week, but I am sure it will keep up. I am dropping the weight, so I have a lot of motivation. I am going on a cruise in March during Spring Break. I want to lose as much as I can by then. Going to the gym is helping SO much. It has boosted my weightloss.

You all are a great motivation. I am really enjoying this thread. Thanks for letting me join you guys.

      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. 💜
