Getting Ready for Spring Bootcamp



Recommended Posts

Oh Ok, I thought you were trying to get me pumped up to do something...lol...The pizza night is biweekly...Its every other Thursday night before payday...He would live on pizza if I let him...He has drank the diet caffine free dr peppers for the last few years...We had problems with him sleeping at night when he did drink the regular ones so his dr had us switch over...I have tried putting him on diet, but it is just so hard to do that to a kid...I went for about a month just serving him a meat and vegetable and he always asked "wheres the 3rd thing?"...He always called the startchy stuff like potatoes and mac & cheese the 3rd things..lol...He thought his world had come to an end when he didnt have them on his plate...I blame myself for it due to not teaching him the proper way to eat when he was younger, we could have prevented all of this and maybe I wouldnt have gained all my weight either...But such is life, its all a learning experience...I am just thankful that he is just borderline and that it can probably be taken care of just by his diet instead of injections...Well, I guess I dont know all of that for sure yet, but that is what I am guessing...Will learn more at the dr today

This probably just worked because my child is weird...(in a great way) but we (really she) got rid of the soda like this: She went to the dentist and the dentist told her that soda is like acid and rots her teeth, he even gave her a list of soda and how much acid they have in them. She has not touched a soda since except for 1 time at the movies and she chose sprite because it is less acidic than the others. I don't know if info like that would help him but maybe.. Now if I can just get her to kick her chicken nugget habit.

He is 11...I was in shock today when this endocronologist told him that he could drink his caffine free diet dr pepper all day if he wanted to and that it wouldnt hurt him at all...I was thinking that that just wasnt the best advise to give to a kid cuz I had been trying so hard lately to get him to drink more Water instead...Hes going to think now that "mom is just crazy and dont know what shes talking about" lol

Tann my weigh ins are on Tuesdays so I will just post last Tuesdays numbers. So I will always be a week behind but that is ok. You are doing such an awesome job on your weight lost. Keep your focus and Welcome Aboard.

Avilla I’m glad you saw the doctor and at least you got somewhere to start with your son so he can control it with diet. Does your insurance company have a nutritionist in their network.

Oakiefamily you are more then welcome, anytime.

Turner24 ok with love……Turner moving your body is what is going to burn those nasty little calories to get your body in the shape that you want it to be in come Spring.

Turner24 that sounds like an excuse PLEASE READ THE FOLLIOWNG

NO EXCUSES

Excuses are tools of the incompetent, building bridges to nowhere and monuments of nothing and those who use them seldomly amount to anything.

Therefore I will not give anymore excuses!!!

Julestwu GREAT ADVICE….DID EVERYONE HEAR WHAT SHE SAID

When in a pinch, walk in place for 20 minutes or so. It will get your heart rate up and at it.

Yes, I did find out that there were some in my network and I am working on it...I am also thinking about going ahead and coughing up the money for the one in the office with his specialist since they work so close together it might be better for him so they can get together about him if they have to...Its just the first appointment that is so much money after that its only 5 dollars over what his copay would have been anywhere else...And I even found out that they have a payment plan for that first visit so that will work too...I have been thinking about it since yesterday and I just want whats best for him, and at this point I am thinking its with the more expensive choice (dang it)...Thank you so much for asking

Welcome to the land of band, happy to be a loser. Get plenty of rest and Water. See ya around the boards.

Just checking in....I'm doing a meat and egg diet today along with the water and excerise. I weighed in this morning at 297, only lost 1 pound for the whole week, oh well at least it's not a gain. I hope to weigh 295 by 1-31-07 we'll see.....:heh:

Way to go on the 1 pound...That is actually good and what is expected with the band...My dr said to expect about 1-2 lbs a week for a normal loss...I know that we all hope and pray for more, but your doing good!!So Yipee for you!:clap2:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
