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.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
