Hey everyone, guess what? I have ONE GOOD BAND DAY! Yesterday I ate Band-friendly. Then I binged last night, but this time I binged on a plain cucumber! Rock on! I got me one day, I got me one day! Whoo hoooo!

Lisa-

I want to thank you for starting this thread. For some reason it's really helping me enter into fitday my entire day instead of quitting at dinner because I ate out and it's hard to count...and I'm not sure I want to know. Seeing everyone make good and bad choices and then get on with life is really helping me keep this all in perspective. And, I think I may have broken my plateau but shhhh...I don't want to jinx it if it's true...

Congrats on your bandster day!!! Can you really binge on a cucumber?

Friday

Breakfast 9:30

No, you can't binge on a cucumber, which is why I'm so pleased with last night! I would be thrilled if I ate raw veggies every night instead of sugar loaded with lard.

Megan, it's easier to write my food here than FitDay (that's just too much work for me.) I'm glad you like the thread. I hope it keeps me eating cucumbers.

Shelly, now I gotta make deviled eggs. That sounds so good right now.

All I gotta do is make it till bed time, that's all I gotta do, no more food. How hard could that be?

I had my decent Breakfast, my decent lunch, and a decent dinner plus too many Bugles and cheese Wiz (the diet police should put me away for life.)

But still, I wasn't stuffed full, so there's still a chance for me.

Wow, this is a great idea!!! I was so hard on myself when I wasn't losing weight. Looking at the posts here, I wasn't really as bad as I thought. My food was healthier probably even, but, my portions were probably too large. I admit, now that I am doing Nutrisystem with the band, I don't have to count calories as much (they do it for me)

Do most of you have to eat at the same time? I do, or I get off track.

I wake up around 8:30am I have to take thyroid medicine, so, I can't eat for 2 hours. I have my Calcium bar (90 calories) around 10:30am

11:30 today, I had my Cranberry granola bar-120 calories

2:30p I had lunch chicken salad and melba toast-approx 170 calories

4:30p Lite yogurt-110 calories-no fat

6:30p I have a salad with just lettuce and parmesan cheese and low fat dressing-approx 170 calories? I don't know the calorie content of lettuce. It was a small tupperware type bowl.

8:30p I had vegetarian lasagne (210 calories)

10:30p I have soy sour cream and onion chips (110 calories)

If I counted right, 980 calories. I eat basically every two hours. I feel like I am constantly eating, but, since I started this, it jumpstarted my weightloss again. I have lost 15 pounds in less than a month. Before this, I had plateaued for about 8 months. I haven't even started back excercising yet. I had been really lazy in that dept. I know with the lapband, you are suppose to only have 3 meals, but, I found I was hungrier and would eat more when I did eat.

Very interesting:

7:30-2 cups of coffee with creamora and spenda and cap of liquid Vitamins between cups

12:30-bowl of chili, (I was busy with appts Fri am), met dh for lunch

3:00-zone bar (breakfast)

7:00-1-regular, not jumbo, margurita, nachos (too many, didn't have any idea they'd go down so easy) with salsa

9:00-order of refried Beans (to go, lol)

I sure can eat more after the sun goes down than I can eat during the day

ps-Michelle, do you get hungry, you are soooo dang disciplined.

Am I the only one that still gets hungry?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
