Hey Yall!

I was just thinking about this challenge this morning and wondering who won!

To make it fair - I think we should have 2 groups: those that were banded a week or so before the challenge (new bandsters) AND those that were banded a while before this challenge started (old bandsters). Have 2 winners!

To me, it looks to be Jamie as the NEW bandster winner with a total loss of 28 pounds.

And Big T (Tony) as the OLD bandster winner with a total loss of 19 pounds. Is this correct?

I will be donating something to both winners favorite charity! :)

Paula this challenge was a great idea, it really helped me, can we keep it going through the summer? Just start over from here? I am going to continue to post here becasue I firmly believe it keeps me accountable. It gives me something to strive for.

Can we start a new one - I need a new incentive as I didn't quite do as well as expected and then lost track of where I started. I'm planning a trip to India in early November and I'd like to be able to fit comfortable in a coach class seat!!!

I would be interested in a new challenge. What are the "rules"? It looks like Monday weigh in. Do you only weigh on Monday? Is not weighing yourself the rest of the time part of the challenge? Let me know the details and I am there. Thanks for the "shout out" Jack. :D

I'm definitely in! I'm still puffed up from my steroid injection, but at least I can move again. Hoping the Water weight -- and some fat too -- will fall off soon.

Just bear with me a few days, and the new and imporoved "Before and During" challenge will be and running. In the mean time, feel free to post your progress here if it helps you with accountability =)

The movers come Friday. I plan on having my new house unpacked before I go to bed that night. (Yes, seriously. =) )

Then Saturday I'll make the code updates and start the challenge over. Plan on having it start with weigh-in and picture upload (if you so choose) on Monday.

Not sure about yall, but for me it really worked to try losing 12 pounds in 12 weeks. I could make it my personal goal, but thought it was worth asking if anyone else was interested in doing it too.

12 weeks from now may be right around Labor day.

What do you think?

I am -1 for the week. 183 now.

      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.
