September Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I'm 196 down from 198 (2 pounds loss). I've got a few pounds on last weeks, i hope it's all because of the weight training i've been doing lately.

1st year anniversary coming up, i hope to be on goal by sept 7. Excercise, excercise and excercise :boxing:

sorry to be so slow. this summer is crazy. my weight is up 2 pounds this week. I knew 10 was too much to loose .. anyway. do you all still receive notices when someone writes on this thread? I don't get any notices anymore. any ideas what I can do? notices are nice because it reminds me to check in.

Sandranoelle: Don't know why you wouldn't get notices. I think by posting that you should. Maybe you should contact the webmaster and let them know there is a problem. Their new format has a few problems I believe. Anyway, 8 pounds is still great!

Karey - Just came in on this thread. Would love to join the challenge. I was banded Sep of 2005 and am starting the Plastic Surgery rounds. Hoping to have surgery sometime in September. Thought about scheduling it for the 13th which would be my 2 year bandversary. It all depends on everyone elses schedules. Other employees' vacations at my & my husbands work as well as my mother & sisters schedules as I'd like them to come help out after surgery.

Back to the challenge:

Today's weight - 169.8 (-3.8 or +2 depending on your outlook)

Last Week - 173.6

2 Months ago - 167.8

Goal for bandversary - 159 or 1-1/4 pounds per week

Diane: Welcome to our thread. I will add you to the group's weekly challenge. What kind of plastic surgery are you having? We will all be excited to learn about it and watch your progress. Many of us are contemplating PS when we meet our goal. I know that I am. I want to have a lower body lift, maybe a breast lift. I'm not sure about the breast lift. I need one, but I'm nervous about that one. Anyway, welcome aboard!

I'm having either a extended Tummy Tuck or may just go for a full lower body lift. I'm also planning on having a breast reduction (covered by insurance) later as the surgeon won't perform both surgeries at the same time. I'd also love to have my inner thighs done but highly doubt I can find the money much less convince my husband to spend any more on me than we already have.

I'm hoping to have the stomach done in either early September or October. I'd like to do it on Sep 13th my bandversary but my mother is on vacation then and wouldn't be able to help me with my 3 year old until early October. So I'm torn.

Kareyquilts,

Please add me to the challenge. Starting 209; last week no loss; today down 1.5 lbs.:clap2:

Think I may be finally getting out of that plateau. Been going to curves for 3 months now and really working toward the 10K at the Marine Corps Marathon in DC on 28 October.

Keep me motivated.:cheer2:

Linda

Hi ya'll. I am down 1 lb. for the week. Karey, my original weight has a dash instead of a 2. Original starting weight for the chalenge was 182. Thanks.

Everyone is doing well. I just did 30 min. on the recumbant bike and about 20 min. of floor exercises and 3 lb. weights. I wish I could do this in the morning, but I just haven't been getting up in time. If I'd stay off this site late at night, maybe I'd be able to get up earlier!! :embarassed:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
