March Bandsters: MASTER THREAD



Recommended Posts

Lynn! I love how you're rocking your band!

I'm sorry about Cobi - I hope the vet can help. In any case, he or she will be able to give you a clearer idea of what to do next.

Fenton - not sure how well I am "rocking my band" will know more after weighing in at DR this afternoon.

Called the vet and my dog and I will visit the vet this Saturday.

Nice work, Kathy! I really do think exercise is key.

And Lynn? You're 3/4 of the way to goal! You're rocking the HECK out of that band!

Sharing a cross link over to a post I added on the Fitness and Exercise forum to some forms I created for tracking workouts if they would help any of the Shrinking Shamrocks!

Trying to kick it into a higher gear with more exercise in 2009 and tracking what I'm doing and VARYING it so I won't get bored and slack off.

Exercise has GOT to be my goal for 2009!

I suspect I'd be almost to goal if I'd been faithfully exercising!

UGH!! weighed in at my DR. today.. gained 5#, but it puts me back at my weight just before Thanksgiving

Also, got 1cc fill.. back to liquids for a day or 2, so that will probably drop some of that 5#

Thanks, Special K - I took a look at the sites you set up for fitness

Fenton can I admit that I can't wait to see how much weight you have lost when you do venture onto a scale? It's oh so true!

I can't believe how cold I am. BRRRrrrr.... My family thinks I am nuts!!!

I have been working on and off trying to accomplish the Couch to 5K program. We bought a treadmill for Christmas so now I need to get serious about it. With some advice from a few C25k buddies I was able to run 10 minutes straight this morning. FINALLY. I plan on running a 5k in 2009.

My DH wants to go white Water rafting this summer. I would never go before because I was afraid the life vest would not fit. So there is another thing I would like to do in 2009.

Christine! Don't get your hopes up!

I've been pretty slack the last couple of weeks - eating more, excercising less. I'll climb onto that sonuvagun on Friday, but I'm just hoping I haven't *gained* now!

But I'm excited for 2009. I think my gym membership is on its way to being worked out, and I'm feeling good about eating less, and I just got three new yoga DVD's - the world is my oyster!

Potentially!

And yay for white Water rafting!

I am excited about 2009 as well.

I am determined to make good things happen in my life.

I love my job, but I am hoping for a position with a little more responsibility. Truly hoping to move in to sales...been sowing some seeds in that regard and hoping the boss has been paying attention!

We have a vacation planned in May.....a cruise with ten of our friends. It will be just an absolute blast. I WILL be at goal by then and I am envisioning myself on the beach in Jamaica wearing a swimsuit!

My daughter is becoming more and more of a wonderful human being. She delights me at every turn and I get excited watching her become a woman. She's very good at it.

Anyway.....I'm bringing good things in to my life....and excusing negative things.....negativity is such a soul sucker.

I am wishing good things and success for all of us!

You guys have become a very important part of my support group. Even if I don't post everyday, I do read every day!

HERE'S TO A WONDERFUL, HEALTHY, HAPPY AND SLENDER 2009!

Wishing you all a Happy, Healthy New Year!!!!

I am at home with my DH and 12 year old DS. We have been eating Snacks (I can't believe how much I have eaten) and playing games. We just took a break to watch "America Funniest Home Videos" I love to hear my DS laugh. I still have buffalo wings and mozzerella cheese sticks to bake. Ughh...

This weigh in will be a bust. Tomorrow is a new day - a new year.

OK, Shamrocks!

TIME TO PAY THE PIPER!!!

We've all been pretty slack in the last couple of weeks I'm sure, maybe with the exception of a couple of praiseworthy individuals, but now it's time to face the reckoning, and see how much damage we've done. I know I've been bad - I desperately want to say, "No! Wait! Let's do this on Monday instead! I'll start watching my intake today, lose the Water weight, and shine on Monday!"

But NO! Today is Friday...

TODAY IS MARCH BANDSTER WEIGH-IN DAY!!!

I'll seeya on the other side...

      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.
