My Bandaversary 133 lbs gone!



Recommended Posts

It has been a wonderful year. At this time last year I was in surgery, ready to change my life for the better. For the better I most definately have. I have lost a total of 133 lbs in a year and feel great! I went from wearing a size 32 to a comfortable 14 or 16 and I am still losing!

I can run, play, breathe, wear nice clothes, I have confidance the soars (maybe too much at times) I can turn heads.. :confused:

Because I feel so good about myself I have decided to not undergo plastic surgery I dont have that much excess skin, you cant see it when I am dressed. I have no aspirations to wear a 2 peice bathing suit or be a model. lol! my husband loves me and my saggy skin and all, so I bought myself a sports car yesterday a congratulations on the new you gift to myself.

I need ideas for a Vanity Plate... NJ takes up to 7 letters or Numbers... I was thinking wither "HOTMAMA" or "LAPBAND" Give me your ideas....

I will attach a pic of my new "Stang" Yellow Convertable with White Leather Interior and a White Top... Looks Hot :D

HAPPY BANDIVERSARY, ALEXANDRA!!!! Congratulations on a truly remarkable year and may you continue to succeed and inspire others.

Holy convertible, Batman!! That is some gorgeous vehicle. What happened to the K. Ghia?

Can't wait to see you tooling around Morris County in that hot horsie, girlie. But where are you going to put the car seats? :confused: :D :D

Congratulation Alexra on your 1 year band aniversary!!:biggrin1:

You have done a wonderful job and that convertible looks great! Keep up the good work and if you want to sport a 2 piece bathing suite, than you go right ahead.

I think "HOTMAMA" or your name "ALEXRA" would look good on that ride.

Anyway, you look good!!! You deserve a hand:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

What do you think has been the most important thing you have done to lose the weight that you have?

How much exersize do you get in the typical week?

What is an example of your daily menu?

You are a true inspiration to me.. and you look fantastic!

Congratulations on your new car.

Oh ya . . .

AND ON YOUR AMAZING, INCREDIBLE, INSPIRING, LIFE CHANGING WEIGHT LOSS!

I'm so envious!

How about GROUPIE for your vanity plate? OK, I know you really wouldn't want that on your car but it certainly let's people know you're "with the band". LOL - I got the idea from Mikey's avator.

      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.
