November Nymphs Summer Meltdown Challenge



Recommended Posts

Another pound, Sades?!! Forget getting another fill! I want a whole new band!! :thumbup:

Just kidding... Actually the next surgery I want is a Tummy Tuck when I get close to goal. Maybe by next spring if I get back on track. I'm going to try and get a fill next week.

I can't help myself Cindy, it's been so long since I lost weight that I want to record every moment!! :biggrin2:

What fill level are you at now? PS, don't think I could handle more surgery! :)

Hey Sades! How's it going so far? From what I understand, your doctor put in another band? You were wondering if you would have to just get your original one out and that would be it. But, he re-did it? You sound up-beat and I just wanted to say hi and send my best wishes!

Thanks Jane. :scared2: My dr was always going to replace my band. I was just unsure what to do. Things went well at surgery and I'm almost 10 days out now... can't believe how quickly the time has gone by! My pain has pretty much gone and I'm losing again, so I guess that has helped my mood. My Nov Nymph mates have helped get me through this as well.

How are things for you?

Sades, I have about 6.5cc in a 10cc band. I'll go up another .5. That's all I can do at one time. I think that would get me into Onederland.

You've done well so far Cindy. My dr's office say that they expect people to lose 25kgs (55lbs) in the first year so you are definitely on track. I feel I am getting there now as well. Obviously people like Cheerleader Cindy (yay girl !) are not part of the norm so we shouldn't feel bad about it.

I hope 7ccs does it for you. ;)

Ok... the scale FINALLY started moving again and I can post a loss... one pound, but hey, I will take what I can get right now after that PLATEAU FROM HELL!!!!!

I think this move has been pretty stressfully on me and I was resorting to some sweet food to "carry me through" what a bunch of B.S.!!! I have broken the sweet tooth once again and am focusing on the basics again!

Watch out Cindy... here I come... I am on your heels!

Thanks Cindy. It's slowing down now but I'm hoping that once I go back to my walks that more will come off.

      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.
