Feb Bandsters July Challenge



Recommended Posts

My dd and I walked 2 miles again yesterday at our park. I'm glad my kids are getting into the exercise thing w/ me. My 17 y/o/ is a cheerleader and has to run a few miles and swim for an hour before practice every day , but she is only 130 lbs ( sickening, I know ) so that's no problem for her. Hoping to walk again today before picking up my 12y/o at camp - goodbye peace ! lol ! Like I said we're going hiking tomorrow. I found 3 state parks we can stop at w/ trails, waterfalls , etc. Sunday is our 18th wedding anniv., so not sure what we'll be doing then. I've finally lost another lb. this week . probably from all of the walking.

I got another day of exercising, I pulled out the old Billy Banks Basic training DVD. It kicks my butt. Since the scale doesn't seem to be moving I gotta get myself moving.

I'm sorry I don't have time to really read or write at the moment, but had to touch base! (This is our month of COMPANY!) I've felt so adrift without y'all, but I have been getting in the exercise... up to 11 of 20 now! And I'm trying hard to watch what I eat, too!

3 birthday parties & 2 reunions down. Four more parties & one week-long reunion still to come! I love this kind of summer, filled with friends & family, but it can be hard on the waistline. Thank goodness for the LapBand or I know this would be a serious GAIN month...

I have a nutrition consult on Thursday & will record my official 5-month weigh-in then! That's right, 5 months Banded! Wahoo!!! It doesn't feel like it's really been all that long!!!

:whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo:

How's everybody else doing?!?!?

hello, looks like I found this tread just in time.

I am going to commit to level 2/moderate. Which means I will have to get in my workout every day for the rest of the month. It is a good time for me to start as my youngest DD is traveling with my parents and my 16 yo DD is working at camp, so no great excuses about not having time to workout.

I am 2 lbs from Onederland and I have been here for about 3 weeks, I know what I need to do, and I am happy I found a thread to report my progress on.

So far, I am down from a size 18/20 in woman's to a size 16 in the misses departments. It is so nice to be able to shop in the normal size stores again.

My primary focus right now is to get under 200, then it is to fit in my wedding gown atleast get it zipped through the waist (the bust won't ever fit, because I have gotten implants since the wedding)

We were married 5 years ago, and I had gained 50 pounds....ouch.

Anyway, hope you all don't mind me joining in the middle of the month!

      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.
