I love reading all of your goals! Here are a few of mine...

1. To have lost 100 lbs

2. To be able to run (not walk) a 5k

3. Feel more confident and sexy

4. Being living my life as a mother/wife (not just watching from the sidelines)

5. Be able to ride that damn Froggie Jump thing with my daughter!

I guess this list could go on forever, and maybe it should, but I will stop here for now.

Hi everyone. Haven't been on in awhile but,

I want to:

1. Be more social and go out with friends.

2. Actually buy some really pretty clothes that isn't purchased from

Catherines or Jessica London.

3. I actually accomplished this back in May, but I would like to continue to fly on an airplane without asking for an extender.

4. Try skiing again.

Good luck everyone with all the things you would like to do!!!

In no particular order...

1. To reach my goal weight (and maintain it)

2. To wear shorts and possibly even a bathing suit in public

3. To feel comfortable enough to go in public with my husband and not be thinking what i know others are thinking (i.e. "omg, she is so huge", etc)

4. To be active and live an active lifestyle, encourage my daughter to do the same

I read this thread so often, but am so araid to post. I know it's silly, but I'm afraid of letting myself down. It's funny, because I've been sitting here figuring well, it's been 4 months since surgery I've lost about 35 post surgery, the rest was before, so how much can I really expect myself to be able to accomplish in the next 8 months.... Just when I come to one conclusion, I wimp out and change my mind.

Am I the only one here who can't do this? Is it just a way of giving myself an out? So weird as it is, my goal for August is to be able to come back here and post my March 2009 goals.

Christine, I think 35 pounds in 4 months is great! That's a huge accomplishment and you should be very proud of it! You are averaging more than 2 pounds a week. My surgeon said his goal for his patients is 1 pound a week. You are doing twice that. Even if you just lost 1 pound a week for the next 8 months, you could probably lose another 35 pounds! That's 70 pounds in a year! Would you have been able to do that prior to the band? It would have been very difficult.

Aunt Lucy, I like your way of looking at it. SO let's just put it out there....

March 2009....

Have lost at least 80 pounds!

Now I guess I'd better get my but in gear and start working a bit harder at this.

Everyone has great goals!

Some of mine:

1) lose 100lbs

2) buy non-plus size clothes

3.) travel more

4.) have a new job (ok really not band related but would boost the way I feel)

5.) have tons of energy for more things

6) try the zipper line at our training academy (I was too scared to do it when I was in the academy because of my weight)

Just wondering how attainable these goal seem now that we are halfway there?

My goal of 80 lbs seems more attainable now than it was when I posted it. I think this band is working!

  1. To have an exercise plan, that I want to do, in place. One that is not dependent on me paying someone to kick my ass.
  2. Not be shopping plus sizes. At all. Ever again.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
