October 2006 Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, are you ready to start the new year? I am excited on what is to come. JDru I haven't noticed the stretch marks looking bigger but I have noticed my stomach seems jigglier (sp). I guess that means that I need to start exercising, like I should of been doing all along. I'm going to do my weekly weigh in tomorrow, I hope that the scales decides to go down this week, for some reason it liked to stay in one spot for the past two weeks... hmm I don't know why.:heh:

Happy New Year to all my fellow Oct Bandsters. 2007 will be a great year for us! Many of us will hit our goal weight, but we will all continue to lose weight and become healthier. That is a wonderful gift.

Here is my weigh in for the Valentine's Day Challenge. Down 2, 13 more to go!

I can't believe it! It took a nastey head cold, to clear my head, so that I could figure out how to put my ticker up on the board. Unreal. Boy do I feel bad, "and DUMB!!!" Shirley...

It figures that I am the only one who has the obvious stretch marks. Ha ha! They aren't really bigger, just more noticeable.

Yay Shirley...you got your ticker to work and you've lost 142 pounds in just over a year!!

So I weighed in this morning for our challenge and I'm down 1.4 pounds. I feel like I'm losing SO slowly, but at least I haven't really gained over the holidays...I certainly couldn't say that last year! I have a feeling that this week will be great for me, I really need to get back on track.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year!!

Well, I just got back from the gym and am down 2 lbs. towards the Valentine's weight loss challenge. I have also exercised 4 times this week. That's a miracle. I feel really motivated right now and it has alot to do with all my October bandbabies. Thanks for the encouragement and keep up the good work. HAPPY NEW YEAR :cocktail:

Happy New Years friends!

i dusted off my elliptical and tried to do my 20 minutes... I only made 15 minutes before wanting to throw myself down the stairs! man that machine kicks my butt. i did about 8 minutes of stretching and my 3pound hand weights too but... its that machine i wanted to tackle. i bought a headphone extension so i can watch something on my laptop while using my machine.

maybe if i give it a few minutes and try to get those last 5 minutes in ...

Wow!!!! talk about a shock, listen to this.

When I first started on my weight loss journey, 10/05 I wore a 5x "and in stretch pants of course." Today I went back to work,"after a week off." and noticed that my pants were kinda baggy. So, into the smaller size cloths I went. I can't believe it

i'm in a size 18. I haven't worn that in years. So I looked in the Mirror, and these Jeans look great. I no it's not like a size 2 or 4 or something like that, but wow what a difference. I can finally say Shirley, your'e starting to look damn good. Just thought I would share this moment with you all.

Shirley:amen:

      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.
