Oh boy I missed you guys today!! I was at a training and couldn't get to my computer. Everyone is doing so good. I wish I could say the same, but I can't. It has become apparrent that I didn't get any restriction from my first fill, which was expected. I also expected to be able to go back on tues to get more fill, since that is what the PA said, but when I called today they said she is out of the office so it will have to be the tuesday after next. grrrr.

Here is my report for today...I laying it all out to get my wooppin"

shake for breakfast

a whole club sandwich for lunch with a bowl of fruit

a pastry after that

a bag of pistachios

a bag of cashews

2 pickles

1/2 c hamburger helper.

No Exercise,

Maybe 20 ounces of Water

Avilla can you share your secret, you always do so good with your water.

Bandida, best wishes on your surgery. It really is a breeze!

Avilla can you share your secret, you always do so good with your Water.< /p>

 

There is not really a secret to it...I drink my 20 ounces of peach tea or green tea on my way to work and wont get out of the car till I finish it...When I get to work I fill my 30 ounce cup with water and drink it and have a goal to finish it before I leave for lunch...When I am lunch I refill it and drink as much as I can before I leave for the day...Plus it helps alot that I am talking on the radio all day and my my mouth gets very dry and irritated...I never really get to post what my water intake is when I get home, but usually have another 20-40 ounces of green tea or peach tea right when I get home and always have a water bottle sitting right next to me in the evening...My sink is always full of bottles needing to be refilled!!! I get lots of fluids....Wish I did as good on food as I did on my water...lol...I just plan ahead and make certain rules to be done with a certain amount by a certain time and my brain has adjusted to it and craves it now..I know, I am a total nut job!!:rolleyes:

And I remeber my first fill being like yours...You expect alot more than what you get, but its for the best that way so they can ease you into the perfect fill...Trust me, being under filled is alot better than being over filled...You just get use to the band getting tighter a little at a time so you and your body can get use to it...Trust me, you will feel it alot more each time you go...:hungry:

Avilla, what brand of teas do you drink?

Since I go thru so many at a time I buy the Kroger brand that comes in the little to go pouches...They are just right for my Water bottles

PS:

The green tea with honey and lemon in the lipton to go pouches are better than the kroger brand tho...But I love the peach tea kroger brand and just deal with the green tea in that brand too since its cheaper...But they come in all different flavors...My surgeon told me on my last visit that anything that starts out water based and low calorie counts as a water intake...So, I do alot better when I can flavor it up some

Good evening,

I finally had a good day today! I had my Vitamins and lots of Water. Here are my meals:

Breakfast - oatmeal

snack - pudding cup

Lunch- dirty rice with 93% lean beef, 2 bites of yogurt (everything got stuck, and it took me over an hour to eat)

Snack - pudding cup, white birthday cake

dinner - small steak, goat cheese, a couple of bites of fresh mozzarella, a few wheat thins, skim milk

I'll probably have an orange or banana before bed.

I also worked out - did some stretches and a 25 minute Pilates video. Not too bad for my first workout in months!

Avilla keep at it now because I looked at my chart that I keep for weight loss and I only lost about 32 pounds for the year of 06. That is crazy but true. I am a year and a half out and I have lost 87 pounds. I don't want to complain but it could have been faster if I just simply exercised everyday. Just do something everyday.

Weight lost is no joke. I have lost 7 pounds from December 19 to January 23. That is great but I have to keep up my walking to continue like that.

I will be posting when I don't do as well too. I've been working a LOT, and haven't been here much.

Here's to a great weekend!

:spit: Cheers Cassandra.

Working will keep you busy but it can keep you from burning those calories is you have a sit down job. I hope you will continue to do that great workout you did yesterday.

      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. 💜
