Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot



Recommended Posts

My grandson is expected to make his entrance into this world at around 3 am.

DD did so well in labor. It hurt me so much to see her in so much pain. They finally gave her an epidural at around 11pm. She is probably going to be able to get a little bit of sleep. Not me! I have insomnia

anyway, so there is no way I could fall asleep now. I came home to

let my dog out and give them some time alone before she has to start pushing.

Playful - I was a total slug bug - couch potato - HATED exercise of any kind (I think alot of us in our age bracket didn't have PE until like 7th or 8 th grade - plus those ugly gym suits - these are the reasons I give for not wanting to exercise)

But you do have to carve out sometime for excercise - you really do - get up 1/2 hr earlier - walk in place as you are watching tv - get some hand weights and use them as you watch t.v. too - I know you don't paint your nails EVERY night - or the mask - get your daughter involved - go for walks on the weekends - you can fit it it - you just have to start.. Once you do - you won't hate it as much - I can't say I am a gym rat by any means - but I do now go 3-4 days a week sometimes 5 - and if I don't go i sort of miss it - but I still have fights with myself to make me go...

You know, the part of my brain that actually controls THINKING, knows you are right. I could do more and I should do more. I will try harder, I promise!

Denise - I woke up this morning - wonder if you were a Grandma yet...

I bet by now your are :confused: CONGRATULATIONS

Let us know all the info - time - weight - length etc

Can't wait to hear :biggrin2:

I have had my second fill today I now have 7ml how do you know when you hit the sweet spot ? E]E]

It's very individual - Some have restriction with no fill - some on 1 or 2 some at 10 - It depends on your body.

It can take a day or 2 for the fill to settle in - sometime 2 weeks :wink:

The band is a very fickle items - it's diff for all of us.. No Pat answers

Sorry :)

Playful

Power of positive thinking - that the word TRY OUT of your vocabulary and insert the word WILL - If you think you can you will if you think you can't you won't.. :thumbup: This is my motto :biggrin2:

Hi,

Good question...

like Janet says, no pat answer,

but general guidelines...

you're not "grazing" for food between meals,

satisfied with a "bandster" portion,

losing weight consistently.

My doctor's recommendation...

if you haven't lost anything for several weeks,

hungry between meals,

eating too much,

then you're probably not "tight" enough yet.

Congratulations! Enjoy this child, and this time of your life.

My DH has decided that when/if his daughters produce off-spring he will NOT be grampa or any such a thing. He will be Dad the sequel. Vanity, thy name is...

Congrats on the grandbaby. I have to say that I'm a grandma to my step-daughter's little girl who is now 3 years old and I love it. The only thing better that could happen would be for my son and his wife of 6 years to have one of their own, but regardless I love em all to death. Enjoy being a grandmother, it's awesome!!

      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.
