Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot



Recommended Posts

My grandson is expected to make his entrance into this world at around 3 am.

DD did so well in labor. It hurt me so much to see her in so much pain. They finally gave her an epidural at around 11pm. She is probably going to be able to get a little bit of sleep. Not me! I have insomnia

anyway, so there is no way I could fall asleep now. I came home to

let my dog out and give them some time alone before she has to start pushing.

Playful - I was a total slug bug - couch potato - HATED exercise of any kind (I think alot of us in our age bracket didn't have PE until like 7th or 8 th grade - plus those ugly gym suits - these are the reasons I give for not wanting to exercise)

But you do have to carve out sometime for excercise - you really do - get up 1/2 hr earlier - walk in place as you are watching tv - get some hand weights and use them as you watch t.v. too - I know you don't paint your nails EVERY night - or the mask - get your daughter involved - go for walks on the weekends - you can fit it it - you just have to start.. Once you do - you won't hate it as much - I can't say I am a gym rat by any means - but I do now go 3-4 days a week sometimes 5 - and if I don't go i sort of miss it - but I still have fights with myself to make me go...

You know, the part of my brain that actually controls THINKING, knows you are right. I could do more and I should do more. I will try harder, I promise!

Denise - I woke up this morning - wonder if you were a Grandma yet...

I bet by now your are :confused: CONGRATULATIONS

Let us know all the info - time - weight - length etc

Can't wait to hear :biggrin2:

I have had my second fill today I now have 7ml how do you know when you hit the sweet spot ? E]E]

It's very individual - Some have restriction with no fill - some on 1 or 2 some at 10 - It depends on your body.

It can take a day or 2 for the fill to settle in - sometime 2 weeks :wink:

The band is a very fickle items - it's diff for all of us.. No Pat answers

Sorry :)

Playful

Power of positive thinking - that the word TRY OUT of your vocabulary and insert the word WILL - If you think you can you will if you think you can't you won't.. :thumbup: This is my motto :biggrin2:

Hi,

Good question...

like Janet says, no pat answer,

but general guidelines...

you're not "grazing" for food between meals,

satisfied with a "bandster" portion,

losing weight consistently.

My doctor's recommendation...

if you haven't lost anything for several weeks,

hungry between meals,

eating too much,

then you're probably not "tight" enough yet.

Congratulations! Enjoy this child, and this time of your life.

My DH has decided that when/if his daughters produce off-spring he will NOT be grampa or any such a thing. He will be Dad the sequel. Vanity, thy name is...

Congrats on the grandbaby. I have to say that I'm a grandma to my step-daughter's little girl who is now 3 years old and I love it. The only thing better that could happen would be for my son and his wife of 6 years to have one of their own, but regardless I love em all to death. Enjoy being a grandmother, it's awesome!!

Thank you everyone! His name is Wesley David. DD's dad's name was David but her cousin already used the name. Wesley is named after my

SIL's grandfather.

Janet, I am flying. All of us will be flying down together.

      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
