Looking for July 2005 bandsters!



Recommended Posts

I've lost 20.5 lbs. Seems to be going way to slow though. Since my second fill I've had a hard time eating/drinking anything. Even cottage cheese tried to choke me.

hey babe don't lose your faith! some tips to boost your metabolism

is to increase your Protein, Water, and try to walk just 30 min

a day. don't feel sad.. we are all different! it doesn't matter how fast

we lose.. at the end both of us we will reach the goal! thats for sure!!

I am down 32. I haven't lost anything in the last week, I know that I need to step up or should I say start an exercise program. I had a fill about 2 weeks ago and I have significant restriction. I have some problems with eating too fast, it seems if I go slow I am ok.

I'm in the holding pattern at my new weight of 249. I am happy with that. I may meet your challenge when you posted of losing 10 by Thanksgiving...I'll have to check back, but I think I've lost 4 since then, and we have 7 weeks (I think). PinkMary, you've lost a lot of weight! Keep after it! Cindy

Jenny, you should try chair aerobics (you can get tapes) or Water aerobics. That's what the exercise guru recommended for me after I hurt my back. Good luck!

Cindy thank you! i stuck the last 2 weeks but i know it was my fault!

today is Monday and i think its a good day for new and small goals.

like back to basics :) WATER-PROTEIN-EXERCISE!

Jenny: we all lose different and some people have difficulties on this journey

when they can't walk much or they have PCOS.

Weight loss also depending on how many and which diets we did before..

from which weight we started, our bmi, our psychological situation, our hormones

and many more.. its not good to compare ourselves with others since we dont know

their medical past.. we just hurt ourselves with no reason. even 2 pounds per month

its a victory! and we must celecrate cause we tried hard to be right here.

      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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
