Hey everyone, guess what? I have ONE GOOD BAND DAY! Yesterday I ate Band-friendly. Then I binged last night, but this time I binged on a plain cucumber! Rock on! I got me one day, I got me one day! Whoo hoooo!

Lisa-

I want to thank you for starting this thread. For some reason it's really helping me enter into fitday my entire day instead of quitting at dinner because I ate out and it's hard to count...and I'm not sure I want to know. Seeing everyone make good and bad choices and then get on with life is really helping me keep this all in perspective. And, I think I may have broken my plateau but shhhh...I don't want to jinx it if it's true...

Congrats on your bandster day!!! Can you really binge on a cucumber?

Friday

Breakfast 9:30

half a cup of raisin bran crunch with milk

lunch noon

chicken thigh with teriyaki sauce

snack 1:00

half a cup of strawberries with a little sugar on them

No, you can't binge on a cucumber, which is why I'm so pleased with last night! I would be thrilled if I ate raw veggies every night instead of sugar loaded with lard.

Megan, it's easier to write my food here than FitDay (that's just too much work for me.) I'm glad you like the thread. I hope it keeps me eating cucumbers.

Shelly, now I gotta make deviled eggs. That sounds so good right now.

All I gotta do is make it till bed time, that's all I gotta do, no more food. How hard could that be?

I had my decent Breakfast, my decent lunch, and a decent dinner plus too many Bugles and cheese Wiz (the diet police should put me away for life.)

But still, I wasn't stuffed full, so there's still a chance for me.

Wow, this is a great idea!!! I was so hard on myself when I wasn't losing weight. Looking at the posts here, I wasn't really as bad as I thought. My food was healthier probably even, but, my portions were probably too large. I admit, now that I am doing Nutrisystem with the band, I don't have to count calories as much (they do it for me)

Do most of you have to eat at the same time? I do, or I get off track.

I wake up around 8:30am I have to take thyroid medicine, so, I can't eat for 2 hours. I have my Calcium bar (90 calories) around 10:30am

11:30 today, I had my Cranberry granola bar-120 calories

2:30p I had lunch chicken salad and melba toast-approx 170 calories

4:30p Lite yogurt-110 calories-no fat

6:30p I have a salad with just lettuce and parmesan cheese and low fat dressing-approx 170 calories? I don't know the calorie content of lettuce. It was a small tupperware type bowl.

8:30p I had vegetarian lasagne (210 calories)

10:30p I have soy sour cream and onion chips (110 calories)

If I counted right, 980 calories. I eat basically every two hours. I feel like I am constantly eating, but, since I started this, it jumpstarted my weightloss again. I have lost 15 pounds in less than a month. Before this, I had plateaued for about 8 months. I haven't even started back excercising yet. I had been really lazy in that dept. I know with the lapband, you are suppose to only have 3 meals, but, I found I was hungrier and would eat more when I did eat.

Very interesting:

7:30-2 cups of coffee with creamora and spenda and cap of liquid Vitamins between cups

12:30-bowl of chili, (I was busy with appts Fri am), met dh for lunch

3:00-zone bar (breakfast)

7:00-1-regular, not jumbo, margurita, nachos (too many, didn't have any idea they'd go down so easy) with salsa

9:00-order of refried Beans (to go, lol)

I sure can eat more after the sun goes down than I can eat during the day

ps-Michelle, do you get hungry, you are soooo dang disciplined.

Am I the only one that still gets hungry?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
