I am up 1 lb for the week :Banane34:. I am having marital problems and am a horrendous emotional eater. I guess I should look into counseling to help me stop trying to feed myself happy!! Does anyone have any other suggestions? I find myself craving sweets, of course, like ice cream (which I dont usually like that much) and pastry, all of which goes down perfectly easily. I have been skipping the gym lately too!! Bad bandster, Bad bandster :):angry:. I wish I could be there at the BBQ with all of you, have to work.

On a happier note, Dee I am sure that he is already so in love with you that he would not notice if you were 12 foot tall, green and had two heads!!

I can hardly wait until I can join in the challenges!!

Dee: Sounds as if the relationship thing is going in the right direction! Have you two exchanged pix yet? Hope this guy realizes what a great woman he has found:biggrin2: Whereabouts in CA is he?

Hope y''all have a good time at the bbq today. Wish I could be there, too, as grillin' and chillin' with friends is the best:drool:

Okay, Brandy and Dee, where do you get those bananas? I LOVED THEM! If kids only knew how immature their parents truly are, they would be even more embarrassed! Aren't we all still 18 and silly in our heart of hearts?

Mini: man, your vacation place looks wonderful:tt1: Maybe we could all just take over the resort: a beach of bandsters!

hI aLL,

I'm not going to the bbq today - didn't feel right about crashing the party since I'm not an official patient of Dr. K. yet. Also, i'm really not a heat person,and it is 98 right now!

Adorkable, please put me down for 5 lbs for the challenge. I think that is a reasonable amount to lose during the preop diet.

I got a rad new haircut and color today, so I think the official change has begun!

So can anyone tell me good bandster adult beverages? I KNOW that there are lots of calories...but I ALSO know that I will want some. I just want the band to stay safe!

Brandy, I just had a margarita. But Mudslides work good, as do Bloody Marys, Screwdrivers, sex on the beach, sand in your shorts, I'm sensing a theme here... I can do just abt anything I try to stay away from carbonated drinks though. Have fun and have a few for me.

By the way where the HELL were you today?? We all missed you..:):party::Banane34:

Ok awesome! Let do it then. Anyone who wants to participate in the Labor Day Challenge just let me know... also let me know how many pounds you want to lose. :) Let's do weigh ins on Mondays since that is the day Sept 1st falls on. Sound good?

Dee I don't want to steal your thunder but figured I would give you a break from keeping tally this time. Just yell at me if you want to do it! lol. :Banane34:

My goal is to get to TWOTERVILLE! 8.5 pounds to get there, so I will shoot for 10 pounds. :party:

LABOR DAY CHALLENGERS

adorKable - Goal 10 lbs

minidriver - Goal

Put me down for 5lbs. My weightloss has slowed a little and I don't want to be disappointed.:huh2:

Ok ladies.... this is the list as I have it right now, alphabetized for your reading pleasure. :Banane34: Please let me know if I left anyone off.

Our first weigh in will be this monday!! Lets just use that as our "starting weight" since it will be exactly 4 weeks from the ending weigh in. :party: I think we should post our actual weights if everyone is ok with that. :)

I also thought it might be fun to add an exercise challenge in. Like everyone make a goal for themselves whether it be as simple as taking a walk 3 times a week, or going to the gym X times a week.

I am going to make my goal to walk everyday with Sophie for at least 1 hour. :huh2: I also want to start working on my ginormous arms so I am going to add in strength training 3 times a week.

:thumbup: LABOR DAY 4 WEEK CHALLENGE :thumbup:

(monday weigh-ins)

adorKable | 10 lbs | 1 hr walk daily | strength 3x week

bahotmomma | 5lbs

brandymom1234 | 10 lbs

DenverGirl | 5 lbs

lap_dancer |23 lbs

lifesaver | 8 lbs

lotzasunshine |10 lbs

minidriver | 10 lbs

PrtyAntOvrYt | 20 lbs

ShelbiCallie | 8 lbs

Woofay | 5 lbs

Rock it ladies! :thumbup:

Shelbi -- Thanks for the kind words. You are doing great as well.

Mare -- It was great to put a face to a name today, I enjoyed visting with you and Harriett. Hope she signs up and has a safe trip home.

Mini -- We missed you today, but felt your vibes. You were there in our hearts.

I know, I know I am bad...I had a family crisis in the Springs and went down there to be supportive. Believe me, I would have had more fun at the BBQ!!!

Thanks for the suggestions, Denise...I do sense a theme, but it is all good!! HAHAH!! Have fun in Cancun missy, you dirty girl! ;-)!!!

Adork...put me go to the gym 3 days per week. I will do the circut as well as cardio for 60 minutes. I am not going to be here Monday, as I am leaving for the World Series...

      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.
