Gone for Good Club - July 2006



Recommended Posts

Telly~ My Dr. would not be happy if I was eating a full chicken breast and a bag of salad. My meal is 1 cup. No more, no less... And if you are hungry all the time, getting a fill will help. I do realize that Telly exercises like crazy, but also you wouldn't have to fight all the temptations with a fill. I still stand strong saying that you should get one for best results.

Do what you feel is right tho!!! Keep it up!

lins~you are too pretty!!!

Thanks Heather!

Telly, I am probably just jealous because you are about to slide by me in weight...and I am unfilled. Go get a fill. I SUPPORT YOU no matter what.

Head hunger is the WORST! Is it emotional eating?

Can add me to the "I need a fill list". -1 this week but have been teetering b/w 190-192 for a couple of weeks now and have noticed my appetite has gotten intense. Need more food to fill me up. It has been over 2mos since my last fill and I guess since I have lost 20 lbs my band is looser. Scheduled my 3rd fill for 07/24 so until then I will try not to gain....BTW Telly that ginger dressing sounds FABULOUS right now!!! :hungry:

Lins.. I don't really know what it is but my biggest guess is that I've bumped up my workouts to ridiculousness and I'm hungry all day.

Iuliz... It's damn good. You can get it at any Publix, Winn-Dixie, Kroegers.. any major grocery store. It's brownish looking.. tan maybe and boy is it god sent:)

C 268.5 (-11.5 lbs total, -1.5 this week)

Telly, my vote is for a fill. Right now you are losing weight, just fine, but... it seems like you have to struggle with your hunger all the time, not head hunger, but real physical hunger, with proper restriction you won't have that hanging over you all the time. Right now you are essentially losing your weight without the band, you have no restriction, it's not the band that is helping you with the weight loss it's your diet and exercise program, and that's great! But, again, but, why not make use of the tool you paid for and underwent surgery for? if you get proper restriction it is going to make it that much easier for you. If it were me I would go for a fill, creep up on it if you want to not risk being over-filled, but why not add that extra tool to your arsenal, and make it easier on yourself and hopefully more enjoyable still.

That's pretty much what I've been telling her as well. :)

I'm down two more pounds this morning. So now I am thinking about giving it two weeks, try getting in more Water and hit the gym more before i get the fill. I can't believe I'm getting so close to onederland and hitting my -100 mark.

Telly, if you feel like you should get the fill, do it. I also waited months before my first one and I got it when the weight was noticibly starting to slow up and it gave me a huge boost.

Lins, I LOVE that dress! You are looking great!

I have a high school friends wedding at the end of the month and will see people who havent seen me since my highest 303. I'm excited to show up in my "little" black dress.

Living back in my hometown I have already sen some old friends at parties and t feels nice having all the guys who were just friends in high school telling me I was looking so great:biggrin1:

It's all good. *hugs Paul*

We just have a lot of members who would be offended. I'm trying to watch out for them.

Paul, you need to get off the computer and get some from your wife instead of slobbering over every word that's said by these friends who are in this club to focus on weight loss and band support.

I don't mean to offend, but I'm just bummed as hell to see our club turn into a tease fest.

I concur. :straight

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
