Getting Ready for Spring Bootcamp



Recommended Posts

Weighing In: Zero loss! Exercised 5 times out of 7, averaged 1100 calories/day. Oh Well!

Will have to measure later.

Just remember that you are gaining muscle too...This weighs more than the fat that you are losing!!! Chin up..The measurements will tell all

I weighed the same today as last Monday. Nothing gained-nothing lost!

I did go to the gym today and walked 2 miles and then worked out with the weight machines on abs, legs and arms! Maybe the exercise is keeping from gaining or losing at the point.

I drank a Protein shake for Breakfast, 1/2 cup of chili and 1/4 cup of cotage cheese and peaches of lunch. dinner was 1 low carb wrap with chicken, cheese, and tomatoes, onions and peppers. Also 10 chips.

Snacks were all Water or crystal lites.

Off ot bed for now so I can go teach 7th -12th graders how to sing tomorrow!

The depo shot made me a psycho. I was so bitchy and so uninterested in sex that it put a real strain on my rel. with my hubby. I read somewhere that depo is what they give criminal sex offenders to chemically castrate them. And I gained about 60 pounds. I did like not having a period though, that was nice.

AHHHHHHHHH are you serious. I was on depo for 3 years and my drive flew out the window. I cussed out every male friend I had during that time. Celebacy wa easy with depo. WOW and yes I gained weight. I am in shock. I was castrated!!!! :faint:

I dont know if this will work for anyone else but it works great for me...Every now and then when I feel hungry I eat a small spoon of peanut butter...It goes thru the band really slow and gives me that full feeling!! I even keep some in my locker at work now and grab some every once in a while...Like I said, I dont know if it will work for others but does for me

      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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
