Recommitting to my band and exercise!!!



Recommended Posts

I have fallen off the wagon and making a committment tonight to get back on it tomorrow!

I was banded April 7 and have lost 69 pounds including my preop diet. I started exercising in June and have done well with that. I even lost weight on my vacation.:smile:

But I have not lost since I got back from my vacation (August 30). I continued to exercise until about 10 days ago, and have still lost some inches. Last week I had foot surgery. I have not been able to do much and have been eating like crazy, in spite of having pretty good restriction. I am eating all the wrong things and way more than I need. :sneaky:

I went to the gym and did exercise bike and arm bike for 30 minutes. Not to bad, so until I get my stitches out on Thursday, I will do that. :blink:

I am making a public committment to get back to my high Protein, low carb, all my Water, eating plan. I am determined to lose at least 40 more pounds! :yesnod:

Thanks for listening!

Good luck! I was banded on 7/22 and have only lost 23 pounds so far and started really exercising this past week and stayed the same! Didn't lose a pound! I am somewhat frustrated but I have only had 1 fill so far so am hoping that as I get more restriction this will get easier and I will start to lose more quickly. Congratulations on your success so far and good luck with your re-commitment!

Froggie,

I'm right there with you! I have fallen off the wagon as well. My life is finally somewhat back in order (except for a few family problems). I was so excited to get out and walk my neighborhood this evening. Well, it decided to rain today. So I'm excited for tomorrow morning! I was banded Dec 30, 2009. I've lost about 45-50 pounds. I'm dying to lose again. So I'm starting fresh and doing what I'm supposed to do: eating right and exercising!

Thanks everybody. I ate right today, went to the gym, and I am trying very hard to not eat anything else tonight (eating a SF popsicle!).

I get a fill next week so I hope that will help too.

Good luck to all of you!:smile:

      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.
