I was banded on 8/11 and a few of us on the Aug. board wanted to do a month challenge. Anyone else in??

I was just banded yesterday but would like to challenge myself and feel we can all support each other this month whether you have been banded for a day or years let's motivate each other and help us along this journey. Anyone want in?? Daily Check in's for support are helpful!

I was banded on 8/11 and would like to join the challenge. My start has not been a good as I would have liked because I am not getting in nearly as much liquid as I should because of gas pain/pressure. But my challenge to myself will be 15lbs lost...............I think that a realistic goal?!?!?!

hey!! I had a setback yesterday..I was really dehydrated and didnt drink what I should. i WILL drink my Water today. i need to take in a lot of liquids. After this going up and getting my water bottle. I sent hubby to get chinese won ton ahh it did the trick. Something about real broth says yum!! So after I ws replenished in the evening I had 5oz water with a scoop of Protein and 1 teaspoon natural Peanut Butter. It gave a nice chocolate and pb flavor. I finished that and it was 9pm took my pain meds, sleeping pill and was off to lala land.

Key for me today is DRINK WATER...my goal is 45oz.

I dont know how much I could lose, didnt think to set a weight goal yet LOL I will say first month at least 10-15lbs. I will set that as my goal for 9/11.

Hope eveyone is doing well and keeping their chins up and checking in
