June 2007 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

That's awesome Mystic! I think I'm finally figuring out a few things about the band too. It only took me almost seven months! It's good to get support and connect with other bandsters and keep up the motivation. If something gets stuck, maybe try to chew it more or eat it slower. If that happens to me, it doesn't always mean I can't eat it again. Keep going!!

Suzz, all I have to say is WHOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Welcome to Twoterville!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Last night I went to a dinner that my fill center (Northwest Fill Management in Arlington, WA) was hosting. I LOVE them.....they are so awesome! We had a naturopathic doctor speaking, and I learned a lot. I wish I had met someone living remotely close to me. I may have to start letting people know I am banded in hopes of not feeling like an island. lol

I also have been re-reading my bandster rules. No more liquid calories for me...and the includes Protein Shakes. Done...finito! Three solid meals, my supplements and water! I hope that will get the scale moving.

THanks all for the congrats! I just couldn't BELIEVE it! I stood there looking at the numbers on the scale until they faded off. The only real reason I hopped on a 2nd time was to see it again, which is when it said 301. Lol. I'll try it again in the morning and see what it says then!!

O2B - No Protein Shakes? !?! Lol. I don't think I can live without them anymore. I totally rely on them in the mornings, cause I'm so tight in the mornings... actually, if I make them thick like a malt (lots of ice!) I have trouble with them going down. Its a sad sad thing to be driving down the road sliming on a freaking Protein shake!!

Target has those big exercise balls on sale for only $9. I bought one. Already did my first workout with it - BLOWING IT UP! It comes with a foot pump.. I"m exhausted!

OMG! So, I get on the scale this moring, as I do nearly every morning... and I about peed on myself! For the first time since I was about 18 years old it was UNDER 300! It said 299.3!!!!

Of course I had to ruin that lovely moment by stepping back on it a 2nd time... which said 301.6... Lol. Either way, I'm THRILLED!! It's just what I needed this morning!!

YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! I am so happy for you, Suzzzie!!!! You are doing amazing! Welcome to Two-derville!!

No on the Protein Shakes for me. I'm going back to the bandster rules I was given when I had surgery. Three solid meals, no snacking, lots of Water. I'm going to try and make my band work for me. I have a good list of Protein foods, and I think I have the right amount of restriction to let me eat enough of it to get good nutrition. Who knows, I may not need to tweak my fill. Hey, whatever works for you, keep doing it!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
