Just stumbled upon this thread...not exactly sure what it's all about, but it appears everyone is sharing their daily activities as a lap Bander....

I'll not post mine, really quite boring and ho-hum.

Keep the faith, it does work and the pay offs are life changing!

@@JustWatchMe - thinking of you today. Hope yesterday went well.

@@2babutterfly - how's it going?

@@punkinvine - hope things are peaceful.

@@enjoythetime - let us hear from you!

@@bacon - you still making it happen?

Happy Tuesday!!

Great OP day yesterday food-wise, but I didn't get the exercise done. I have already done a 40 minute video this morning and will walk outside with my husband this evening. As I've shared, exercise is my struggle. Well, that and weekends... ;)

Today's plan:

B - 8 oz shake w/fiber

L - Rev Wrap

S - 8 oz shake w/fiber

D - crock pot ranch chicken

72 oz Water & 75 minutes exercise

Hope all of you are doing well! Have a swell day and take care of you.

I've gotten behind on this site. I follow too many threads!! It took three hours to catch up tonight.

I'm in a great place today. NSETBEx and I settled on a few current issues like tuition for the kids, contributions toward current expenses and legal fees. It's a start. God smiled on me and gave me peace going in to the courthouse. I'm not afraid of him anymore. I also woke up Monday with the 11 pound gain gone plus a bonus pound gone. That did wonders for my confidence.

Monday was huge. It was the first time I faced or spoke to him in nine months. I have not felt this free and strong in well over a year.

Thank you all for your prayers and support. You were with me and it made a big difference.

@@JustWatchMe - I'm so thankful that things went well for you on Monday. I thought about you all day.

@@2babutterfly - chicks hatching, how cool! I watch an eagle's nest online and loved watching their eggs hatch. There's now two eaglets that are almost ready to fledge. I love the process each year!

My plan:

B - 8 oz shake w/fiber

Good morning and TGIF!!!

I've got meals planned and am ready to roll. I'm headed to Sam's this morning to stock up for May. I plan meals for the month and do my major shopping at the beginning of the month. Then, each week all I have to get is fresh produce, milk, bread, and fill-in items. It works for me.

Today's plan:

B - 8 oz shake w/fiber

L - Quest bar

S - 8 oz shake w/fiber

D - homemade pizza

803c, 87p, 38nc

72 oz Water & 45 min walk with my husband this evening

I hope all of you have a wonderful day. I sure miss hearing from you. Take care of you.

@s_suther...what is on you staple list for SAMs?

ground beef (freeze in 1# bags)

chicken breasts (freeze individually)

beef filet

pork loin

frozen chicken wings (separated into family serving sizes)

butter

eggs

chicken base

*We do A LOT of grilling, so it makes it easy when I have this stuff- frozen in serving sizes - planned & on hand.

*I like to pre-marinade, prep, etc so each freezer bag is ready to roll once thawed.

*My first of the month is busy with this, but it's super easy for the rest of it!

Happy Friday! I'm walking stairs at work today and had a Protein Breakfast. lunch will be errands and probably a bowl of Soup from Subway. dinner is Red Lobster with a friend. No cocktails, no biscuits. Caesar salad and lobster and shrimp and green Beans.

I'm trying to watch sodium because I notice Water retention day to day with the rings I wear. When my rings are tight, I don't fret over a small scale gain. But sodium is bad for my blood pressure, so it's good for me to be aware of it now.

Saturday I will have a day all to myself. I may buy some shoes.

Sunday is my outing with my BFF, her mom and my mom for Mother's Day. Brunch at a hotel. I'll post before I go that day.

      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.
