Feb 2007 Bandsters: April Challenge



Recommended Posts

I have a z pack too. The pills split very nicely and I was able to take both of them though I waited about 2 minutes in between each piece. I don't ever get sick so this really does suck for me.

I am trying really hard to get my Water in today. I want to get the exercise in too I think that might be pushing it.

I am waaay better today. I made it to work and I feel really good. I spent most of the weekend sleeping which helped. Unfortunatly I seemed to have passed it on to all my cowrkers as they are all getting sick. Oops. I am glad to hear that you are feeling better.

I'm walking my butt off, and drinking so much Water that I can hardly make it back from my walk without having to walk funny, 'cause I have to pee!!! I've been walking (very briskly) for 15 minutes on my morning break, at least 15 minutes on my lunch hour, and another 15 minutes on my afternoon break. Every weekday, anyway. I'm really bad about posting on this thread, but I'm still hanging in there for the challenge!

I was wondering if you swing your arms as you walk? My Physical Therapist just told me the other day that when you swing your arms as you walk you will burn three times the calories compared to walking alone .They have me use a machine that is named nustep it is a cross training machine and you use arms and legs together. I was amazed to know that about using your arms and legs together to burn three times as much.

Finally feeling like myself again!! Hoping to start working out at the gym again soon. I've only had one fill so far...not having trouble with the amounts, but those bad habits of bad food sure do haunt me!!

<p>Okay – this thread has been quiet lately. Perhaps, in the silence, I’m just projecting my case of the blahs onto the rest of you, but I have to ask… Is it just me, or has anybody else fallen off the wagon?</p> <p> </p> <p>I’ve slacked on my Water sooo much, and have not been on the treadmill in almost a week! <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/eek.gif" border="0" alt="" title="EEK!" smilieid="10" class="inlineimg" /> Egad! I’m eating fine (though I am hungry between meals, which is a 1st since my banding), but that’s about all I’m doing right.</p> <p> </p> <p>I need to get my tuchus back in gear again…but…well…….. The Pod Person I’d really come to like has vanished, and good ol’ lazy Suzanne is back. <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/bored.gif" border="0" alt="" title="bored" smilieid="36" class="inlineimg" /> I have no motivation, no drive, no energy… I am sure this has to do directly with having stopped the very things I can’t seem to start again: water & exercise.</p> <p> </p> <p>I’m trying to pump myself up for the April challenge once more, but I just can’t seem to do it! <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/straight.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Straight" smilieid="14" class="inlineimg" /> Not even attending (our good & very informative) local support group meeting helped, so I thought I’d check in with the rest of y’all. Maybe this bit of a whine… er, I mean…um… confession will prove cathartic!</p>

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
