December Bandsters in February!



Recommended Posts

YES!!! I am not getting my fill until the 19th, so I think my goal for the month will still be 10 pounds....i figure if I can lose 5 before my fill and 5 after, I'll be one happy camper!! Should we have someone keeping track of everyones goals and maybe a once a week check in so we can see how we're all doing??

Do we each want to do our own challenge or do we want a collective one that we can all work together towards??

I like the idea of us each setting our own challenge, since we are all different, but keeping accountable for it in this group! I'd be willing to keep tabs on people if you want...just PM me your Goal and then maybe each Monday or Friday we can each report in as to our progress?? Let me know what you think....so if your goal is to exercise 20 days out of the month, you'd report that you exercised X number of days that week or if you're goal is to lose 10 pounds and you lost 2 pounds that week...etc....

Actually, we can all track it ourselves - I just made a second ticker and put it in my signature - that way I have to hold myself accountable!

Help! What do I do. I need a fill but the doctor can't get me in until Feb. 13th. I am so scared I am going to gain weight in the next few weeks. I have been so hungry? Has this ever happened to anyone?

BEX.....I'm in the same boat as you, except I'm not getting my fill until the 19th!!! What I'm doing in the meantime is really just keeping track of my daily calorie intake to make sure I'm not eating like a pig! :confused:

Hang in there, try to stay on track and still eat the 'bandster way', and hopefully you (and I) won't gain before we get our fills!!!

Oops, didn't know this thread had opened. I was waiting for a link to be posted. Glad I checked!

As for hunger, I've been hungry all day yesterday and today. I don't know what's up. Thank god I go for a fill Feb. 9th. I feel myself slipping into old habits. :confused:

I'm going to try and up the exercise this upcoming week to see if that helps.

I also need to find a high-Protein, fast and easy Breakfast food. Any suggestions?

Hey everyone. A challenge sounds good to me. Now that I'm over my cold I think I'll do an exercise challenge. I'm really struggling with that right now!

Kellie---what kind of trouble are you having. Are you using tickerfactory.com? If so, once you have created your ticker, copy and paste the URL code onto your signature page and it should work. If you need any help, let me know.

Maurdan--I too could use some Breakfast ideas. That seems to be the hardest to be creative with.

G'day All :mad:

I've never had any luck with those tickers :)

I suppose you have to create a new one everyweek, to adjust your weight loss??

I tried to paste one when I first came to the forum, but I was not at all successful :)

I'm heading away for a few days, catch you all on my return :)

CHEERS to Happy Healthy Eating :)

Hey gang...one of the breakfasts I've been having is Kashi Go Lean Crunch Cereal.....it is a good source of Protein and Fiber (to keep those pipes clean if ya know what I mean) ;-)

There is also egg beaters w/cheese omlettes....those always keep me full for a long time!

      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.
