April 2006 Bandits September Chat



Recommended Posts

Hey gang! :biggrin1:

We have now entered the month of September. I see that our challenge thread is going strong. I've looked at it, but haven't joined, yet.

Hope things are going well with everyone. I've just had my third fill :clap2: and I do believe that I now have the level of restriction that I've heard others talk about. :hungry: Chew to goo and not a lot of food is my mantra these days.

Picardy3 :rolleyes:

Hi, and I hear ya! I got my second fill when I had my port revision surgery a few weeks and finally am understanding what restriction is and am definitely loving it.

Well being in front of you all geographically thought I would have to start September off, but thanx to Picardy for that, had to leave challenge there for someone to take!!! I hacve been on 7 day trip so couldn't even access a computer at all. Nice to see someone else taking over for a change.

Nah, amourette, you're not the only one. I've just had a three day weekend so work has been strange today. Everybody tried to follow Monday's schedule instead of Tuesday's. I've met myself coming and going. Now I'm trying to get caught up on messages before I start in on my new grad school class. This is my fifth class and puts me halfway through with my Masters. WOW! I can't believe that.

I have been on a plateau for about a month. The good news is that no weight has been gained. I probably need more fill, but I am scared to go through the food getting stuck experiences again. Thinking maybe I can jumpstart a weight loss on my own. Am I crazy?

So exercise is crucial now. Anyone else have a plateau??

I've seen some co-workers for the first time in a few months and got the "Hey, you've lost weight!" comment. My response is, "Thanks, I'm working on it."

Boo, I'm on a plateau too. It's been about 2 weeks now. I'm hoping it'll break tomorrow because it's time! We'll see.

      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.
