Hi Everyone!

It is June the forth and I was thinking about goals for the month. Last month I found it helpful to read the posts of others and plan my own goals and post them. I did acheive my goal as did most of us I think!

Big high five to all of us!

So for starts as I am just a few days on this side of life I would like to really focus on getting the most out of the month as in working through the different stages of food and learning about my feelings towards this phase. lol right now I am just so happy to be able to have chicken broth !! and popsicles!!

I seldom have huge hunger so far but it is early yet.

So I guess what my goal is is to make it through this month of liquids. full liquids, pureed, and soft foods without too much trouble

Good luck to everyone this month!!

Yoda,

I had a goal for June and guess what? I had that one pesky pound that kept haunting me for months - it's gone and I'm down 4 below. My June goal is to maintain goal for this month.

Hope you're having a great week!

That is sooooooooooooooooooooo AWESOME Angel Bear!!!! You must be so thrilled.....and proud of yourself!! Keep it up. We need to get together soon!

Congrats Angel!

June goals...

UMMMmm....

1 - Survive In-Laws visit in mid-June

2 - Get my fill without crying when they stick me with the needle! :pray:

3 - Survive my first TAT on thursday (no crying will be a bonus) :nervous

4 - Start the exercise part of my band life :frusty:

5 - Support Mrs. Yoda in her June goals :hug:

6 - Stay healthy and happy as the temp rises at work (adv. 130F on nice summer days) :fear:

That's not too lofty for a newbie, is it?

Did I mention the In-Laws coming????

1. Stick to the Post-op diet

2. Maintain current weight (losing would be a bonus)

3. Walk a min. 30 min every day.

I think I'll stop here and give myself a chance.

Great post Leslie, thanks!

June goals:

• walk a minimum of 30 min/dy, 6 dys/wk:Banane42:

Mr. Y- What's a TAT?

Mr. Y- What's a TAT?

Tattoo!!!!!

I'm getting the one I have around my ankle "fixed" this afternoon (I had emergency surgery 4 yrs ago and they had to "cut" through my tattoo). While there, I am getting another one and Mr Yoda is getting his first!!! His mother is going to kill me (yet another thing I'm a bad influence on him for!!!). But of course, as you all know, Mr Y. has a mind of his own and I did NOT talk him into this (I would never talk anyone into something as permanent as a tattoo...it is an individual decision)...but all the same; I can't wait to see his mom's face!!!! *evil laughter*

I am so sloooooooooooow sometimes! no TATs for me.

Hi: You have probably lost your cookies (lol). When I do a full scan for viruses Norton Security posted a message that I was being tracked and the threat was low. I deleted the cookies and lost my ticker. Had to go back and reinstall it. Doddie

1. Get a fill...feel some restriction

2. Finish Finals (why do i subject myself to summer classes)

3. Lose 2 pounds before fill

It's funny you say get a tat...i was thinking about getting one myself...One that had a meaning, something that represents my weight loss journey, as well as my passion for medicine and health...probably a rod of asklepios. (the stick with the snake around it)...I'm not sure...i will probably wait till i lose some weight first.

Thanks Yoda,

I do feel great - kinda weirded out being at goal though.... now what? is my question and do I have the tools to stay the course? How will I handle difficult situations? I know I know.... I'm just sayin'.

PS. We do need to have a gab session soon. Let me know.

Woo! Finally after weeks and weeks at the same, I was down a pound(ish) today! Let's hope this is the beginning of some steady ticker movement!

And I still am running. I'm taking the couch potato to 5k a little slower than they suggest, but it's ok. I'm now at running for a whopping 90 seconds, then walking for 2 minutes!

Mid June - is anyone reaching their goal set for the month?

So far I am doing ok on the post -op diet. At least I think I am. I start soft food on wednesday and I am looking forward to a nice scrambled egg! I have had a few days that I really wished I could have something that required chewing lol but I managed to get through them in tack! It is actually amazing how quickly the time is going by.

Hehehe, I have a mid-month to end goal, as I only got banded on the 14th!

To get under 300 and never see thsoe hellish days again!!

However, I wont know my progress for some time, as I don't have a scale...

But once I return home, I can grab mine from there.

Yoda and Mr. Yoda congrats on the tattoos!!!

I have one so far(symbolizing my moving farrr away from home)

I plan to get one at the end of my weightloss journy

Hopefully 'gross and icky stage'(as I like to call the peeling) has ended for both of you and your left with masterpieces!
