July Butterflies Master Thread

When I was making bad food choices it was out of want not need. I would eat even when I wasn't hungry just because I wanted it. It can consume you, and still battle it everyday

I do the same thing as you but no brain surgery for me. I am just going to try to learn how to deal with it. But it has been a battle.

Hi everyone - I just finished my first week of morning exercising. It's hard getting up but I like having it done. Need to keep it up.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Ladies, I have never asked anything from you before but I am asking for your help now. Not for myself but for Orea, she is always there for any and all of us when we need an encouraging word or just a shoulder to cry on. Right now she is very worried about her DH and his job prospects. I was thinking maybe tomarrow at 3 O'clock, being that it's mothers day and all. We could take just one minute out of our own lives to pray for her to who ever you may pray to in hopes that her hubby will get a good job offer. And all will be good for her and her family. We stick togather and we should prey togather. I beleave good things can and will happen. So deal? know matter what your doing tomarrow at 3 O'Clock we bow our heads and send her our prayers and love OK?

:tt2: Hi everybody. It's been quite awhile since I've written. Been having a terrible time updating my tickler, but I think I finally have it. I guess I've been like everyone else about having a sweet tooth. I've tried to only eat the SF stuff but I know that's still not good for you. Maybe it's the weather change or the time of year. It could be we are just getting bored with our eating change. I have decided to start a journal on Monday (Mother's Day is going to blow it). My sweet husband always cooks me steak and lobster. What a guy! I guess I'm like many of you with the bat wings. Thank goodness for three-quarter sleeves.

I wish I could exercise more. I have a vertebrate in my lower back that is sideways. Hurts most of the time, so most exercise is out. I went to physical therapy and it nearly killed me. I see my back surgeon next week. Oh joy!

Well hang in there guys, we've come to far to backout now.

Hope every mom out there has a great day!

I will say my prayer at 3 for Orea. Kimaly, you are a very thoughtful person to initiate this. I have not posted here in quite awhile. I am an original "butterfly" and used to post when we were all first banded. I have done really well. Lately, I feel as though I want to be more part of the band community. Non-bansters just don't understand some of the things we go through. I hope that you wonderful group of woman don't mind if I join back in. Have a great day!

Hi Barb, Yes you can come back. You will always be a butterfly. I am so glad you have done so well. Are you struggling with anything right now? If you are just post it and we will all respond.

No, I am not struggling with anything right now. I am slowly getting used to myself and the attention I get at 120 lbs lighter. I have gotten pretty used to living and eating in the "Bandster" lifestyle. I just want to have better connection to fellow bansters like in Janet's thread. It is nice to feel like you belong and know others who have gone through the same thing and have to eat a certain way. Hope everyone has a great day! :mad2:

AWESOME WEIGHT LOSS! How many calories do you eat in a day? I need a jump start. Just wanted to know what you eat in a typical day.

Barb I am glad you are doing so well and we are all here if you would like to talk and share.

Donna where have you been? Is everything going well for you? I was used to seeing you often and I had not seen you for a while.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
