So what do you think? National Champs this year?

If we can get the QB position nailed down, I don't see why not. Even with AD gone, we have talent and depth at the RB position and the defense should be solid.

I've heard good things about the QB position so far, the newcomers are supposed to be good, but the bad thing is, they are new, I predict that if we don't get the title this year, it will be next.

Edit: And how about AD at the NFL combine, impressive.

What's up guys. Nice to see the man thread. Speaking of football, I can't wait to sit in the Swamp, be comfortable in my seat, and watch Tebow maul linebackers. Do you guys sweat less too, when you've lost the weight. My wife always brings my an extra tee shirt to games... Of course its usually 100% humidity and 100 degrees in G'ville.

Hi there! You will have a great time! I do sweat a lot less, I am usually downright cold much of the time now. I am actually looking forward to summer for the first time ever! :)

Yeh, it looks great, hope it lives up to the previews!

I'm actually looking forward to seeing if I can navagate the steps and bleacher seats better. I have arthritis and have needed a hand rail to help me. By fall I hope to have lost enough where I won't have to worry about getting to a seat!

Good to hear that all of you are excited about being banded. Man, congrats to all. It's because of this tread that I have confidence in this whole weight loss thing. I will tell you that I would be banded over and over again if I had known that I would have felt the way I feel. I was banded on January 15, 2007 and have lost a total of 28 lbs since then. I have not had any problems nor has it been a challenge to find things to eat nor energy. I have pretty much stayed on task with the diet or healthy eating habits. I think I have lost so well because, once I saw that I had lost a little weight, I was encouraged to keep myself strict to my doctors orders. I went on tueday for my first fill and I would like to share that experience with you all.

They first accessed my port area to determine whether or not my incissions were healing correctly. He had me to place both of my legs together and lift them six inches. This allowed the port to pop/lift in the muscle under the skin. He then swabbed me with alcohol and injected the saline. Now, I will tell you that it feels really weird. It kind of feels like you have butterflies in your stomach.:faint: It was not bad, but when I first saw the needle, I was like :) (What????). Yeah, I knew there was going to be a needle, but not so large. It did not hurt, but it did feel funny. It was not an immediate restriction, but today I have eaten a smalll cup of apple sauce and am satisfied. Just think, I began this thing weighting 248 lbs and am now 218.5 lbs. All I can do is be excited for everyone else beginning or on this journey. Congratulations to all of you who have made this life saving decision.

Good stuff Andre. I weigh about 245 and am being banded in two weeks. Hope to get down to around 180. I actually feel pretty comfortable, personally, at 220. I lift weights and sort of have a big frame anyway.. BMI of 39. My problem has been getting down to 220, getting satisfied w/myself and then blowing up to 250 range, did that every year for about 10yrs now. I know that's not healthy and I turn 30 the week after my surgery...... why i decided to do it. I don't want to live like that in my 30s.

Hey guys... Is it just me or do we lose weight a lot faster than the ladies who are banded?

Do we have a big enough "sample size" to make this generalization? Am I just nutty?

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
