10 days post op... I couldnt resist. bicep and triceps today. Also did a lil inner and outer thigh. I have also been walking..

Hey there Telly Girl! I finally got banded on the 9th. Recovering and eventually I will be back in the gym. My work-outs wont be as stringent as yours, but I do plan on doing weight training 3x's a week and cardio 3-5 a week. I started at 278 in Jan, now I am unofficially down to 230. I plan to be at my personal goal of 175 by mar-may, which is gonna take a lot of working out. So... as usual, I will be looking at your posts for my motivation, but I plan on kicking some butt too (my own) in the near future! Good luck in your regimen!

I'll be there... free food. Woo Hoo :hungry:

B, Not L, A D Damn Thang!!!! I want some real food. Steak, Lasgna, Pork chopssss:mad:

Glad to hear all went well!! OMG, tropical popsicles are awesome!!

Terrimck1-- Dont sweat the pizza.. you are doing so well with the diet, just a few more days to go. That pizza will be out the system by then. I was having 'last meals' everyday up to two days before surgery. I kept thinking "I wont be able to eat anything every again" well I ended up managing to do liquids for the last two days and the doc still let me do my surgery. I was banded on 11/9, so far all is well. I get a lil hungry, but I am hanging on to the notion that I did this to my body for a reason:rolleyes: U will do great!

Crystalstar11!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: I am so happy to hear that ur now banded.. We're almost banded twins, our surgeries were so close. Rest well!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Greetings All! Thanks for all you support. I am doing well. No real pain, just aint 100% yet, but its all good. I am glad I finally feel well enough to sit up and type on the PC... It was a killer not being online Well like most have said... The hard part is over now. liquids are going okay, but looking forward to pureees. I will just be happy when I can really start moving a lot more briskly. I am trying to drop these lbs as soon as possible... :heh: Anyways... off to have a wonderful cup of broth... :bored Talk to everyone soon

K, My doc said that I didnt have to do a pre op diet since I had already lost a few, but I had been trying to do one on my own... well, it aint working... every day is like a "last day" for me and I just been eating every and anything... U have lost quite a bit of weight already... dont stress over the pre-op diet, just continue what u been doing... and take all the bad things out the house.. I am cleaning out my kitchen TODAY!

Kee Largo in Da HOUSEEEE... 32 lbs gone and I get my mouth banded on Nov 9th... I have a goal of 25 more lbs off by the time the ball drops!!!:biggrin1:

Huh-What... nobody told me about a house warming... :cool:

well, your doing something right cus the scale justs keeps on moving..

I wonder who that was *cough*(me)*cough cough... Yeah I know... I was kinds off yesterday since I didnt go to work on Monday, my days were a lil mixed up. Got on the scale this morning and I am still 245 so I would have probably weighed about the same. But look at you missy... 380 OMG... that is just FRICKEN GREAT!!! Are u kidding me, u will be at 375 in just a few days... nothing like losing 79 pounds to get a sista pumped!!!

Wow BarbaraC.... That is AWESOME... 36lbs GONE FOREVER... U will surely make it to 50 lost in no time!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Trying to find as many 'before' pic as possible to help me gauge my weight loss in pictures.. Here I am in Miami when Hubby and I went to a Heat game.. My stomach was (is) really big.:cry Here is a pic of me and Hubby at the Miami Heat Game

Christmas isnt what it used to be for me. I dont put up trees, I dont wrap gifts and hubby and I dont even excange gifts... Well, I dont think there will be a tree this year either, but if santa is listening, I would like him to send some holiday spirit my way... Oh, and 25 lbs less of me would be great too.

Woo Hoo, SunnyKim. That is awemome... Lets trade places!!!

T, u better stay consistant on them meds... Hopefully soon you wont have to take them, but in the mean time we want you at top notch... BTW... when we walking again!

Nothing exciting going on today... but i did have this weird dream last night. I was going in for surgery and there were all these medical people around me talking and I couldnt hear and I just kept saying "where is my surgeon, where is my surgeon" okay, so now I am having nightmares are the big day... How fun. :rolleyes I guess maybe subconciously I am just coming to terms with the whole thing. I have been operated on before so going under really doesnt bother me, but I dont know.. just getting a few butterflies maybe.

I needed a place to vent... so why not here. I am scheduled to have my lapband surgery on 11-9. Should be excited, right? Wrong... I feel upset with myself. When I initially started researching the band, I knew it was for me because I am a BIG uncontrolled portion eater. Carbs all day every day. So I began my jouney... Well I think deep down inside, I thought I could still do this on my own. I can work out a lot, can be very enthusiastic. But after trying again.. I failed. failed cuz I just can control my mind to keep my mouth shut. No, instead I convice myself why I should have 8 slices of pizza and cinnamon rolls and biscuits.... URGHHHHH! I guess I am coming to the realization, that I have a true problem. Something I just cant seem to get control of. I know the band is what I need. I know that I will probably do well with it. But I just feel really crappy for letting myself down over and over again.... Okay, I'll quit my bitchin now:cry

AAw, Thanks Ms. Teresita! I know I can get through this.. I know somewhere deep deep down inside (somewhere in dark and lonely place somewhere) I have the strength to do this. I need to find peace with myself, quit this self depression and start treating my body like the temple it deserves to be treated. From top to bottom, I want to be a new me!

Greetings all Nov Bandsters... I will be banded Nov. 9th, with Dr. Moazzez in Fairfax, VA. My highest weight is around 280, I am currenlty at 245 and I want to get down to 175. I dont have to do liquids, but I have to lost 10 lbs before surgery, so I plan on going on a high protein train around the first of the month. I have been the worst with the bandster rule. Not really practicing, but more so stressing over what I wont be able to eat... I guess one day at a time... Good luck to all!
