Hi, to all the banded ppl! Consultation date weighed 224, surgery Dr. Alex Esquivel in Texas and weigh was 211, First Fill weight was 200 getting ready for my second fill tomorrow I weigh 198. Im short and round, really wanna keep the short and less of the round....lol! My big to worries so far is portion control.... I struggle to keep focused and my stinking period dose not help, I have been working on changing that with diffrent BC. Honestly though it has been a struggle, the craving hit me bad straight out of surgery i wanted to eat the world and then a couple days later i got my period. With that I also learned that as i healed i began to feel less restriction and was able to creep to the dark side and eat poorly, that's no good when your paying a crap load of money for this surgery.....yeppers feel like a sad.
I started walking a week after surgery 1 mile the next week 2 miles now I will walk 2-4 miles if I miss a workout. Now i do cardio daily and strength training daily. I actually stay on a routine with my workouts cuz in my head i think i can eat what i want if i workout so i need to change that.
My body feels diffrent, I can wear some clothes i havent seen in awhile that feels nice, my blood pressure is normal and i feel less tired, still tired but less and feeling tired is on me because i choose to eat badly and results are tired and shoulder pain, nasty belching and bad gas.....so many reasons to stay on track , right?
Currently still learning what i can do and not do, should do and not.
