Getting back on track?



Recommended Posts

Lora sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my FIL this past November, and fell back on some of my old eating habits. I haven't even been banded a whole year yet. Its been hard getting back on the wagon. I got down to a comfortable weight, so the motivation isn't there as much as it was when I was almost 300 lbs. It's not easy getting back on, but it sounds like your on the right track. Everyday I try just a little harder to stay on track. I try to remind myself that I am worth it, and in the end I will be happier and healthier. It's not easy though, if it was easy I wouldn't have the band. Good luck with everything, and I hope it gets easier for you.

hiya, iam new to this forum and have just put a similar plea to others, im not sure if i have failed yet but am def on the way, had band 18 months and have lost over 4st, i am beginning to eat rubbish and trick myself into the "im buying these biscuits,chocolate,etc" for others but its the same old devil on my shoulder that caused me to get in the pre-band state, i am trying to motivate myself, good luck with your fill and remember your band is a fab tool, i almost lost sight of my dream,hope all goes well, please keep in touch, take care, sue.

I've had a good couple of days here lately. Getting focused on what I am eating has helped greatly. Also, reading and posting here seems to help keep me focused.

I think I'm getting back on track somewhat. I really need to get the exercise routine going again but right now, one step at a time.

I hope you guys have had a good day.

China and Lora, I'm going to find you guys on FB here in a bit.

Would you all mind if I got on the wagon with you. I was doing wonderful and then in February my band had to be deflated due to slippage. I have 5 cc back in it now but am eating the wrong foods and the scale is going the wrong way. Right now, I pretty much hate myself. I am seriously considering purchasing an Ab circle to see if that will help.

Hi everyone, I just jumped back on the band wagon 3 weeks ago after my 5th fill. I decided to get in a little more exercise by dancing to arobics and have lost 8 lbs since. I had been at a stand still for 4 months. I was banded 8-04-09 and had only lost 30 lbs..Im feeling good again and want to continue losing for my health. I wish us all well

What I do when I feel like I've lost motivation is start Jenny Craig. Having to weigh in every week is more motivation than a date with my surgeon that is two months away. Plus, get a fill if you haven't gone in a long time--that will force you to eat more carefully, if only for a few weeks.

Joy Joy- I hate exercise. I know I need to do it, but my hips hurt so bad... I have a treadmill, my husband uses it every day. I am trying to get the inspiration to get on it, but I have never liked exercise. Help! What kind of exercise do you do? LB

Thank you Lora. I have ordered an Ab Circle Mini. I work in a warehouse and the weather has not been the greatest here in Wyoming so I have been walking around the warehouse for exercise. Sounds corny, but if it works that is all that matters.

hi everyone i still on board and happy to report when i got on the scale tuesday i was down 8lbs. it was so funny i asked the lady at ww are you sure she said yes im sure. i must tell everyone it felt great to get that sticker. now its a new month and i plan on really getting in 2 the gym this month. i have been swimming on and off but, gotta step it up and do more and i set a mini goal for may of 12lbs. so i will see how that goes. what is everyone else up to these days. and i purchased a pedometer to keep track of how many calories and steps im doing and i like it. and to freebird doesn't matter what you do for excerise as long as your moving good job keep up the good work.

My Ab Circle Mini is due to arrive tomorrow. I can't wait!! I hope this is what I need to get my "arse" in gear. The weather in Wyoming is STILL not being cooperative enough to ride my bike to work, but when it does, watch out.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
