New Year, Better Focus



Recommended Posts

Ok so just getting myself set up for tomorrow. I haven't been on here in a while and I haven't been super focused for a while particularly due to holidays... Halloween- several days of lots of candy... Thanksgiving- a couple days of sweets and food... Christmas/New Years- multiple days on various weeks of bad food and sweets (parties and gatherings). Okay so I admit that I haven't been very good but even with all that, I am now about 7 pounds less then I was this time last year... 20 pounds down in 3 months... since starting this including pre-op. So even though I haven't been great and I haven't lost 30 pounds, I still see myself as a success. Especially with not gaining (like I always do) between October 25 and January 1.

So with all that said, I have gained a new focus for the new year. I'm ready to refocus myself. :D

Thanks for listening and allowing me to express my new dedication to ME!

What a great job you did congratulations that is the hardest time for all of us. I got filled on the 30th my first since surgery a year ago. I too feel renewed and ready to move forward with the coming year. God bless.

I did great over Thanksgiving. I even lost a pound. But Christmas week took me for a spin. I went back to old habits (not completely) and paid for it. Now it's time to get back to business.

I am delighted to know that I have company in the New Year....I, too, gained over Christmas and my practice doesn't give fills from the middle of Dec thru the end of the Holidays, so no fill for me!!! By the time I knew I was in trouble the soonest I could get in is Jan 11th!!! 20 pounds up is no joke but not a reason for my practice to overbook!!!! I will be watching eagerly for support and reinforcement!!! Good luck everyone.

Thanks. Im glad Im not the only one who had difficulty with the holidays. I wish I was banded in like July so I had a few extra months but I was banded in September so holidays came while I was still learning and adjusting. Thats okay though!

WE are ALL back on track for the New Year! Good luck everyone! :D

I got banded on November 10th, so the holidays hit me hard lol. I still lost, but not as much as I could have lost. As you guys know the head hunger gets most of us, so Im taking full responsiablity of what I ate, and not blaming it on other for putting it out there. I went grocery shopping today and feel positive about what I got and to get kicked started into the new year. Biggest loser also starts tomorrow (yes, Im addicted) so I bought their 30 day jump start dvd and plan on doing that daily, and weighing in on tuesdays when it comes on (my moms idea). Maybe actually seeing that progress will help?WHo knows lol.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
