March Bandsters: MASTER THREAD



Recommended Posts

Cathy, this is GREAT! You're entering a whole new phase of your life, where you'll be more energetic, feel happier and healthier than you have in YEARS! This is a fantastic opportunity for you to have a look at your life and really embrace the changes that you've been making, all of them things that will just keep you getting better and better.

If you have to feel sorry for yourself today, go for it, but you're going to look and feel better at 50 than you looked or felt at 40, which is a HUGE thing!

So yeah, wallow if you must, but tomorrow, get back on the scale and get your head back in the game...!!!

And...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I bought the greek yogurt today. Tastes a bit like ricotta cheese to me. Hard to eat alone. Any suggestions on what tastes good in this yogurt. Thanks

I really like the chart you put up. I;m finding it so hard to reach the sweet spot.

At the past 2 doctor visits I've asked them to tweak my band. I feel I need an amount inbetween .25 and 0, like .10 and they keep sayiing they can't do it. I feel so up against a wall because I know I'm too restricted but if they take out the whole .25 I'm too loose. Very frustrated about this. Thinking maybe another practice of doctors can help.

I have to say that when I read that Fenton said he has learned so much in the last year, I was jokingly thinking he meant all the girls talk we have on here about Victorias Secret push ups, and many other funny girls room only (usually) info. But seriously, I think he also meant learning a lot of great stuff about nutrition, exercise, friendship, support, and all that other mushy stuff we have been there for each other.

So here's to more learning and growing every day!

Cathy - Happy Birthday, enjoy

Fenton - you never know what a bunch of women will talk about. We have all learned so much from each other..

Weigh in today - yuck I am dreading it. No exercise this week, eating out, still no repair for my refrigerator...

I will get on the scale... hesitantly!!!

Happy Valentine's Day

a day early!!!!

Ha! I was just coming to post about your new ink here, having just seen it on Facebook.

It's beautiful!

And of course it stung a bit more because of the lack of padding!

I was going to get another tat when I hit the 100 lb mark, but my then-gf suggested I wait until I'm closer to where I'm going - I've still got another 170 or so to go. Although now I'm thinking I'm going to go down by about another 150, and let the PS take care of the rest.

In other news, I have a new personal trainer. She's brutal, and ruinously expensive, but I think she'll be great for me. She's really, really good, and though she kind of makes mincemeat out of me, I feel really lucky to have her.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
