where are all the January people??



Recommended Posts

I'm working late tonight so I have some spare time to go over some old posts. Just wanted to say hello. Where is everyone? How is everyone doing now that we are so close to our one year Bandiversary? What are your holiday plans and strategies to stay focused??

All of my family is local so will do the visitation to both my mom and dad's sides of family. That means food a plenty which is my family's specialty. And Curves has the nerve to be closed Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas along with Christmas day. I was bagging up some old clothes on Saturday to take to Goodwill and caused me to think on all the good stuff that has happened in 2007 thanks to my band. I am definitely looking forward to 2008 and celebrating by 40th birthday on August 14. I feel as if I will be 30 or 25 and not 40.:whoo:

Hi Chrishell!

We are here! We all tend to post on the same thread (the one titled "Anyone Here") even though we have a whole board to ourselves.

I have to admit I wish I had lost a little more this year, but I have no one (and no-THING) to blame but myself. There is still time though. My strategy for the holidays is just to stick to what works, watch my portions, be careful with Desserts, and keep exercising.

Glad you checked in!

Maria

      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.
