March Bandsters: MASTER THREAD



Recommended Posts

I don't know what a neti pot is either???

Tess415 -- look at the scale once a week and give yourself a break. You know the program-- you will lose those 2 lbs or 5 lbs or whatever it is once this holiday insanity passes so just give yourself a Get Out of Jail Free card now.

Tess---hang in there!! This is a hard time of year. Let's hang in and help each other get through.

Lynn---a bug? I've got SUCH a head cold right now and it just won't quit. Started with blocked ears for a few days. Does that sound like what is going around in your office?

That sounds about what is going around the office here, today 3 out of 5 staff members are out sick :blushing:

So the 2 left are working out A$$ off....

Little time to think about eating, just phones and work...

I do find when I am really busy I do not think about eating, which is bad and good. I do not get in all my Protein and that is not good!!!

I have found a new love --- Kettle Corn. My cousin makes and sells The best darn kettle corn. (That's really the name of it) I am hooked on the cinnamon sugar. She sent my mother several types. I bet I will gain 5 pounds in the morning.

I was wondering whether, to keep ourselves honest, we should all agree to get on the scales on teh same day. Like have an Official March Bandsters weigh-in day, say, every Monday or Friday. And we could bully those who haven't posted that they've climbed onto the Platform of Truth, make them face their truth...

It's a great idea, particularly because *I* shall be exempt until the end of the month...

But seriously, I do think it's a pretty good idea.

Thoughts?

Great idea!! I have avoided the scale for the past few weeks. Last time I was on it I had gained just over 2#. Afraid to see where I am now. I don't think I have gained anymore, and do feel I have lost, but cannot face it!!

HELP!!

I am going to force myself to get onit Friday morning, that is my usual weigh in day..

Neti pots rock! I went in for a fill yesterday and my doctor couldn't hit the port. Waiting for them to make an appointment to do it under flouroscopy.. ugh! It's comforting to know I'm not the only one on a plateau

Hello dear March Bandsters... I have been away from LBT for months now and thought I would stop by to say hello and I hope all of you are doing well.

I have been very happy with my lapband experiences (through all the ups and downs and happy to report mostly ups). I am down 88 lbs and still have a ways to go, but feeling like I have this in the bag (or band!) :smile2:

Wishing you all very happy holidays!

Sheri (aka Lattedah)

Hi Everyone, I thought I would share this little success, since I know that you would understand. I just realized that looking at my BMI I would no longer qualify for surgery under my insurance. :shades_smile:

Fenton: I like your idea of having everyone weigh on the same day. :confused: Great idea.

Now that I have finished the last of the kettlecorn. Friday seems like a good day to post our weights.

BTW Tess - I had to google a neti pot myself.

Neti pot for sinus health

Looks gross to me.

Sugar- thanks for the utube info on the neti pot. OMG! I don't think I could do that... My son had sinus surgery a few years ago and I had to make a saline solution and irrigate his nostrils with a Water pick... I guess this would've been more gentle!!!!

      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.
