Canadian "AUGUST" Challenge



Recommended Posts

Well I did what I said I would do walk for thirty minutes, but I had to split it, I could not do it all at one time, I did fifteen minutes at my lunch period, and fifteen minutes after work.

This week I will try for twenty minutes at lunch, and twenty minutes after work.:omg:

I have not been banded yet, but am going in for a consultation on the 25th of August. Can anyone tell me about Dr. Cobourn in case I get him as a surgeon?

Thanks,

Kirsten

Maria - yes... more walkin' for me! LOL and you're doing great!

Buffie- yeah, where are ya? And how's it going?

ratgirl - I agree with them! Just look through our posts here, and I'm sure you'll read alot of stuff about our experiences with him and his staff!

So.... officially, I lost a whoppin' 0.6lbs in the last week! Not awesome, but anything is good, and I'm used to the little losses by now!

I walked last night, but not quite for 20 minutes.

Thanks everyone for your support. I'm 99% I'm going to go through with the banding, but have only told my best friend and husband about it. I feel like I'm at the end of my rope with weight loss and this is my 'last attempt' to lose weight and get healthy. As part of my support program I plan on talking to you guys alot! I think I'll feel better talking to fellow banders rather than other people who may not understand and who might bring me down.

I find I'm eating a LOT prior to my consultation - did anyone else do this? I know I should try to cut back a bit and start the weight loss process now.

Anyway, everyone have a great day and nice to meet you!

Did any one do this???? OMG, Burger King ran out of food, in the town I live! LOL It's an anticipation thing, I'm not saying it's okay to do, but very few pre-banders DON"T do it. Just keep yourself looking straight ahead. You'll be great. Yes, we would love to hear more from you, keep in touch!!

Hi everyone,

Things are going ok, I had a crappy food weekend, went out of town and ate a lot of things I shouldn't have. I don't know if I have good restriction or not, I just wish I could be comfortably full and stay full for 4 or 5 hours without getting into food 'detective' mode...searching for food. The exercise is going good...my endurance level is really improving. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend a heart rate monitor for anyone who is trying to lose weight, it's nice to know when you're working out that you're in your optimal zone so you're not wasting time.

How's everyone else doing? GOOD LUCK ON YOUR SURGERY KIM!!!! You can do it!! And good job to EVERYONE trying to exercise...it sucks but don't you feel good afterwards?!?!

Does anyone know if sushi is a bad band food?

Hi Buffie, ya, whats up with that, after excersizeing you always feel so good, and it feels great when you can see yourself improve.....So why is it so hard to do:confused: . food feels good to, but I definately don't have a problem sticking to IT! LOL

I don't recall hearing anyone not be able to eat sushi, I've never tried it, it just sounds gross to me. Probably the only food in the world I havent tried though.

      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.
