Getting Ready for Spring Bootcamp



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Yesterday was a good day all round.

Cottage cheese and fruit for Breakfast

Lentil Soup for lunch

Uhmm next to nothing for supper because the pork chop got stuck right at the beginning

A cup of veggies with dip

1 Piece of turkey pepperoni

1 bite of vanilla ice cream...1 bite!

got all my Water in and ended up staying home again because of my cold but did 30 runs up and down my stairs in my house....in three sets of 10. I'm also doing crunches at night because I'm really scared of what my stomach is going to look like at the end of this. Husband is also hiding my scale because I'm being ridiculous about weighing so from now on I only get the scale on Monday morning.

P.S. I don't think that skim milk counts for water but try adding a flavor packet like crystal light to it....that helps a ton of people get all their water in.

Have a great day all!

I NEED A SLAP TO GET DRINKING MY WATER! :bored I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT!!:paranoid .

Do you like the Crystal Light little packets? I don't like some of them, but the lemonade one is pretty good. It helps break up the boringness of Water.< /span>

Girl you have gone from 3 hundreds to 2 hundreds.

Yep, and I am praying for the 100's one day too...I will be totally happy with anything under 200...My surgeon actually gave me a figure on what I ought to be able to lose with the band and it was still over 200...I refuse to think that I cant lose anymore than what he estimated

I actually have no problem drinking Water. I get in plenty of water because I require myself to drink 4 bottles with 20 oz in each per day. I just like drinking skim milk and was wondering if it'd count since it's so watered down anyways. I like the protien and Vitamins it gives me.

Hi guys...home from getting my first fill. It wasn't too bad. It hurt only a little but felt really weird, really the first time I noticed the port and band. I got 4cc's in my 10cc band. They said I probably wouldn't have any real restriction yet, but we'll see. I hope I get a little at least. I had some victories today. The first one was that I just knew I had gained weight but I hadn't gained any at all and had even lost a pound!!! Also, I forgot my blood pressure medicine today but my blood pressure was good, wondering if the 34 pounds is already having an effect on it. Another success, I went to Catherines and was actually able to fit in a pair of jeans (not the elastic kind either). I haven't been in a pair of jeans in I don't know how long!!! So all in all I had a GREAT DAY! I was also relieved to find out that if I don't have restriction by thursday they will see me again on tuesday for another fill!!

I thought this went well with all of us!!! Let's keep it real!!! We are all in this together!!

 

 

You are friendly, kind and caring

Sensitive, loyal and understanding

Humorous, fun, secure and true

Always there... yes that's you.

 

Special, accepting, exciting and wise

Truthful and helpful, with honest advice

Confiding, forgiving, cheerful and bright

Yes that's you... not one bit of spite.

 

You're one of a kind, different from others

Generous, charming, but not one that smothers

Optimistic, thoughtful, happy and game

But not just another... in the long chain.

 

Appreciative, warm and precious like gold

Our friendship won't tarnish or ever grow old

You'll always be there, I know that is true

I'll always be here... always for you.

Smooches....:kiss2:

I am going to go ahead and confess to not making it to my workout yesterday. I had all intentions of doing so but by the time I got home I had such a Migraine that I went to lay down when I got home. I begged my dh to go and get me some meds at the store and on his way home got into a small fender bender so I felt terrible due to him running a begged errand for me at the time. But I will be back on track today hopefully! I am hoping to keep the migraine under control and working out only makes it start throbbing to no end...On a good note, I lost the .5 lb that I had gained and lost another .5...So today I am at 54 lbs

      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.
