March Bandsters: MASTER THREAD



Recommended Posts

Happy New Year! I tried adding myself to the list, but it didn't turn out quite right. Sorry! I am glad to see everyone is hanging in there. I am moving along, slower than I had imagined, but progressing none the less. I am glad the holidays are behind us, even though it was a great holiday season. I like the idea of weighing in every week. We will be celebrating our bandaversaries before we know it. I have an appointment to see my doctor on Wednesday. I am hoping for another fill!

Enjoy the weekend!

The way it works is you copy the WHOLE list from the last person who posted an update, update or insert your own line (alphabetical order by your username) by copying another person's line, then post the WHOLE updated list for the next person to update. Please be sure you follow this instruction or else we'll find we accidentally drop someone off. I'll try to keep an eye on things to be sure we're okay. Also, adjust the spacing on your line with the .... so the numbers stay lined up if you can.

I was so disappointed in myself to see a 3-4 lb gain over the holiday week but I'm also wondering about how much hungrier I am feeling with the extra exercising I'm doing and maybe some of the exercising is causing muscle/water gain too? Just need to tough it out and be proud I went to the gym so far on 12/28, 12/30, 1/2, 1/3, and have plans to go tomorrow so I'm doing well sticking to the more exercise part of my commitment.

Nice straightening!

Also: since many of us have been decidedly naughty, we now have Water weight to lose. And what goes on easy....

I hope we'll see some nice drops come Friday!

Water WEIGHT, yeah....that's the ticket!!

Actually, I'm guessing a lot of it is....I swear, I've eaten more ham in the last two weeks than I have in the last two year....and I don't even really like it!

Thanks Special K for fixing our little chart. I can't stand to see it out of alignment. My typing teacher would have died. LOL You may have to delete some of the little dots so it doesn't wrap around when we add our change.

I am seriously looking forward to starting tomorrow back on track.....I have found myself doing a bit of the "last supper" crap again today.....stocked up on soy milk and just ordered some more Unjury, this few days on liquids will deplete my current supply.

I'm calling first thing tomorrow for an appointment, too!@!

2009 is the year I make goal for the first time in my life!

WOO HOO!

I've been on a bit of a binge the past two days. It's so weird...eating everything in sight...I will get in control tomorrow. I must get back in control.

It's just so weird how I can eat everything right now and not even 2 full weeks ago I was struggling to eat more than a bite of anything at a time without feeling pain for hours.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
