Newbie and OneStopShop EStore Ideas



Recommended Posts

Just want to introduce myself and also say how much I have enjoyed this forum. I was banded 12/22/08 and am soooooo glad I did. I am 53 and wish I had done this after my second son was born 15 years ago. Haven't lost weight since then and kept it off but am looking forward to finally being able to keep it off. My weight prior to preop diet was 265 (December 8) and I weighed in at 242 this morning. I am 53 and my interim goal is 200 by my birthday May 30th and long term goal of 150. I have had absolutely no problems so far and know the challenges will come (maybe) after my first or subsequent fill. I do get a little hungry but follow the advise of the group and my doctor. Measure, eat, wait and if still hungry, chow down on cottage cheese, SF Jello or Popsicles. Hot tea works wonders as well.

For those that miss you sodas, I remember hot Dr. Pepper with lemon growing up and think it might be great for those that have severe withdrawal. Let the DP go flat, heat up with a little lemon and it is great. I also contacted Dr Pepper to see if they would consider developing a drink powder for this evergrowing population of former soda drinkers that have now converted to powdered Water drinkers. They are missing out on a big market if they do not. I will let you know if they answer.

My sister and I are looking at maybe developing a one stop shop e-store "AfterTheBand" with products specifically for bandsters. SO far, I have come up with the following:

Powdered drink mixes, Protein Drinks, liquid Vitamin drink (I drink Verve liquid vitamin energy drink and love it Vitamins, pedometers, diet/exercise journal, photo journal, maybe Spanx, and eventually, vacuum packed meals premeasured in the much smaller quantities. Any ideas from you guys.

I love the support here. It has been great!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
