Okay, I remember seeing a March goals, but we seemed to have skipped that for April so I am bringing it back for May.

I will start with mine.

- Clean up my diet, I have not been too good lately

- Work out AT LEAST 3 days a week and strive for 4 or 5

- Get my weight down to 285lbs or my body fat down to 35%.

I may add others as I think of them, but I need to get these out there to refocus myself.

Canadian banders feel free to post your May goals here for all the world to see.

Well, since I am newly banded, I think I will try to stay with the post-op diet as best as I can. To be honest, I am going to my cottage for about a week this Thursday and I thought I might try a little popcorn. I'm on full fluids. Is that suicidal or what?

NO NO NO

May Goal - stick to the rest of my post-op diet till the end of may.

Thanks Andrew,

May goals for me are:

-drink my water

-workout at LEAST 4X/week

-lose 10lbs which shouldn't be too hard with this last fill!

Donna - don't do the popcorn yet! You haven't even started mushies! I was rereading my post op diet materials last night and they keep stressing how important it is NOT to push. You don't want to risk hurting yourself or the band and I understand that popcorn may not be the easiest food. Please don't do it!

My goal for May is to recover well. Follow my post op diet to a T, start walking everyday and cook for my family again!

Don't worry, I won't do the popcorn.

Donna!!! Popcorn?????!!!! You baaaad baaaad grrrl you!!!! *smack*

Don't even THINK about it.

:pop2: :doh:

May Goals:

1. Pay attention and make wiser food choices

2. Drink my liquids

3. Work out 5 X per week

4. Lose 4 lbs

5. Support Mr Yoda on his post-op diet

Yoda, don't you want to add a few rounds with the Mr. before the op? Not that it's any of our business but geez.......

Mr. Yoda better save his energy for recovery. He may be weak from the CC&Y :heh: .

LOL ya have to read between the lines when I say "work out" 5 times a week!!!!

Gaffer has a point though....I just got off the phone with Mr Yoda (making breakfast for 1000 people....poor guy) and he was saying that he is feeling really tired. I guess so!!!! Who wouldn't on like what.... 3 calories a day! LOL So, I suppose I should let him rest! :rolleyes :notagree

But um....ahem....nice to know you're concerned Donna!!!

My goals are:

• To finally have some weight loss (haven't in awhile)
  
• To loose 8 pounds
  
• Continue to go to the gym 4 times a week
  
• Drink more water
  
• Do not get so discouraged when things don't happen as planned

mmmm I think my goal will be to just keep on doing what I am doing and not to go too crazy when I go out for dinner before I start my pre-op. I am going to allow myself a few days of the last supper phase, I have to say though I am kinda not all that excited about it right now... lol Am I sick??? Or have I started to think more wisely. lol hmmm guess I will find out soon enough! Would be nice to drop another 10 pounds this month... guess I will try for that!

10 pounds gone before crossing to the banded side.

LOL!! 10 lbs is amazing! I would suggest not to go overboard, but allow yourself a couple of treats, so you won't panic before the optifast.

LOL yep it is amazing! I am hopeful and yes I do intend on having a few treats before optifast, but I am not planning on going crazy either. I have been working had to take off what I have and feeling pretty good about it all in all. I have not really felt like I was missing out on anything so far. I have even indulged in a burger with my son. so two weeks of watching and two of optifast I think I should come close to 10, if not oh well I won't be to far off the mark! I hope lol

I remember when you started your pre-op early, -=winks=- I know it isn't easy but very worth it!!
