Wheezy Whispers-AKA September's Goals



Recommended Posts

I've reached my sept goal. Today I've lost 12 lbs. yes I am happy about it but I am hungry.

Maria, I weigh self naked, dressed, before and after going to the bathroom before and after I eat(when I used to eat) before I go to bed... I take a scale on vaction, sometimes. I admire someone who can stay away from the scale especially while losing weight!

I plan not to go back up the scale so I'll just report my losses as they happen!

Congrats, Lila! and yes, you are nuts! LOL

I think you need to recruit someone to hide the scale on you. You're gonna drive yourself insane doing that! Especially when the lulls in losing come!

Lila, Congrats about your weight loss. You are doing great! :clap2: :clap2:

I kinda understand about the frequent weigh ins. I now try to limit it to once a week now but it's just so hard to resist the temptation, but bringing a scale with you on vacation??!!!

Anyway, I got some good news today. Yesterday, I joined Canadian Lapbanders. I posted a messages that asked if anyone lived near where I lived and if so, did they know of someone who did fills around here. I received several replies. Dr Coburn was in Ottawa recently and trained a physician to do fills. I called his office today but he could not do the fill until late October. It happens that he is recovering from surgery himself. So I am off to Mississauga for my first fill but after that I will be able to have them in Ottawa. Ottawa is only 1 hours drive as opposed to a 6 hours drive. There is also a Dr in Montreal that performs lapband surgery that may also be a possibility.

Mandi, I also saw a post about someone who will be trained in Pictou NS to do fills. Is this the one you were telling us about?

Hey wheezy... I saw that, and that's awesome news! Probably best to get Dr. C to do your first one anyways. Hopefully it'll last you a long time, and that new Dr. will get lots of other people to practice on before you :wacko:

How far are you away from Montreal?

Yup, that's the same person in NS that I heard of.

Mandi, I agree about experience, let him practice on others first. His receptionist told me his first two patients were scheduled in October.

It's only a 1 hour drive east to Montreal for me. You know what that means? Montreal is only a 12 hours drive and Ottawa is a 13 hour drive for you if you ever get fed up of waiting for someone to do a fill or a unfill in the Maritimes. You could make a long weekend of it. Montreal and Ottawa both have great sites to visit. Have you ever been to Old Montreal? It's really pretty. Great shopping too!

Have you seen that commercial for Quarker's weight loss oatmeal.

The women are walking around with scale chained to their leg. That's me, I just run the chain up my pant leg and tape the scale to my big butt! Then I have it when ever I need it. It's like my security blanket.:funscale::wacko:

Way to go Maria and Lila. I'm 5 lbs down so far this month, but none this past week. I tend to lose only every second week so with luck I may still reach my 8 lbs by this weekend.

Speaking of next month, I'm (planning on) doing the October challenge on the June bandsters thread, if I can only remember it. It's 1200 cals, 64 0z of Water and 30 minutes of exercise each day. I haven't been calorie counting, and I've been doing bugger all for exercise. I'm on my feet all day but that doesn't count. I know that all I have to do is take a 45 min walk each day to accelerate the weight loss. I'm just feeling light enough to get back to it though. However, every morning I make some lame excuse and plan on the next day. All I need is that first day.

      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.
