March Bandsters: MASTER THREAD



Recommended Posts

I thought we could just do it here.

I don't think posting of weights or progress is necessary, just so long as we know that everyone has faced the scale!

What do you guys think?

Hi Shamrocks!

Thanks for the information about the PB I described. It was pretty nasty and I was hoping that was as bad as it gets. I have no desire to repeat it!

I admit, I fell off the wagon and rolled in the hay. Then I got on the scale.....nasty thing. I don't really believe I gained 10 pounds, but that sure is disheartening! I think some of it Water weight and I'll drop that quickly. I'm sure the rest will be hard fought pounds to loose. UGH!

Netti pot - I saw them being used on Oprah a few years ago. People swear by those things. I don't have sinus issues, so I can't say that I have ever bothered.

Kettle corn - that stuff is sooo good! My doc doesn't want us to have pop corn of any kind, so I haven't eaten any since surgery.

Tess - moonshine! That stuff will take the paint off your car. Be sure not to gulp that stuff down!

Friday weigh ins - sounds good to me. I'm hoping that a few of the salt pounds have come off! (Please don't really be 10 pounds that I gained!)

About the neti pot- don't knock it until you've tried it. I too thought it was gross but it is amazing how clear you breath with a little rinse.

I like the weight in idea, BUT Jonathan is not immune. Im sure in all of France he can find a scales. So what if it will be different from the one back here. It's about accountability. So hop on that scale and shout out the numbers. (here that is).

hi all... i read this thread far more frequently than i post to it, but wanted to say that i love the idea of a group weigh-in on fridays. count me in.

i've definitely made some poor food decisions in the last couple of weeks and this jut might be the to snap me back to reality.

i'm (kinda) looking forward to firing up the scale tomorrow.

Well, SB, you know what you've got to do - get back up on that horse! You'll be in onederland in no time...

And I so AM immune while I'm here, Amanda! What do you think, I'm going to go traipsing around the neighbourhood, knocking on doors and saying, "Do you have an extra-large scale I can stand on, completely unclothed?"

Because I'm not going to do that!

This was the format a group of us used in posting our Labor Day to Hallow-Lean Challenge progress. What do you think about using this format for our tracking.

The way it works is you copy the WHOLE list from the last person who posted an update, update or insert your own line (alphabetical order by your username) by copying another person's line, then post the WHOLE updated list for the next person to update. Please be sure you follow this instruction or else we'll find we accidentally drop someone off. I'll try to keep an eye on things to be sure we're okay. Also, adjust the spacing on your line with the .... so the numbers stay lined up if you can.

Starting Weight is where you are now at December 2008 not where you started :biggrin: originally.

      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.
