August Long Weekend



Recommended Posts

Hi all; its been pretty quiet here in Canada Lap-band land. Did everyone head to the lakes early for the August long weekend?

I'm 2 weeks from my procedure and have lost 10 pounds on the pre-op diet. I am afraid a weekend of beer and BBQ is going to be too tempting to resist.

I suppose a little binge shouldn't hurt.:biggrin:

What do you think?

I'm sure a wee bit of this and that won't hurt. Just try not to eat like you used to at a party so that you keep those lost 10lbs off. Have a good time! I'm going out to the lake now!! Enjoy this beauty weather!:cursing:

Cujo: Are you asking permission to break your doctor's pre op diet. Because if you are, certainly don't have mine. The reason for the diet is I am sure you already know is to shrink your liver. I think if you knew you could eat at the BBQ, you would not have asked us. What do I think --- NO. Do as your doctor told you. Doddie

Good Luck Cujo

I was banded Aug 15 last year.

I was allowed to eat veggies (225 cals per day) on my pre-op. Perhaps you can bring a some colourful veggies to grill on the BBQ and to share.

I went out with a friend last night, and I noticed my size 8 jeans from old navy are getting a little loose...............trust me that feeling is sooo much better than any bbq could ever taste...

You are going to do awesome, welcome to bandland

Thanks for the advice doddie, I have never been successful with diets before which is partly why I'm here now. Life tends to get in the way of dieting, from my perspective.

Thanks Michee, I'm allowed a pound and a half of green veg a day which is keeping the munchies under control.

I'm going to the Stamps/Rider game tonight which would mean normally a tailgate bbq - burgers and beer. Tonight its bottled Water and a bag of celery sticks. I hope I can survive.

Go Stamps! or Go Riders! - I haven't decided who to cheer for. I've never seen Saskatchewan win a game, so if I cheer for the Stamps maybe the Riders can stay undefeated. LOL

cujo: what is in the past is in the past. now is your opportunity to start a brand new journey by getting off on the right foot. You will not be dieting just eating less and making better choices on the small amount you can have.

Born and raised in saskatchewan now in BC but still a roughie fan. Doddie

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
