March Bandsters: MASTER THREAD



Recommended Posts

Cathy, this is GREAT! You're entering a whole new phase of your life, where you'll be more energetic, feel happier and healthier than you have in YEARS! This is a fantastic opportunity for you to have a look at your life and really embrace the changes that you've been making, all of them things that will just keep you getting better and better.

If you have to feel sorry for yourself today, go for it, but you're going to look and feel better at 50 than you looked or felt at 40, which is a HUGE thing!

So yeah, wallow if you must, but tomorrow, get back on the scale and get your head back in the game...!!!

And...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I bought the greek yogurt today. Tastes a bit like ricotta cheese to me. Hard to eat alone. Any suggestions on what tastes good in this yogurt. Thanks

I really like the chart you put up. I;m finding it so hard to reach the sweet spot.

At the past 2 doctor visits I've asked them to tweak my band. I feel I need an amount inbetween .25 and 0, like .10 and they keep sayiing they can't do it. I feel so up against a wall because I know I'm too restricted but if they take out the whole .25 I'm too loose. Very frustrated about this. Thinking maybe another practice of doctors can help.

I have to say that when I read that Fenton said he has learned so much in the last year, I was jokingly thinking he meant all the girls talk we have on here about Victorias Secret push ups, and many other funny girls room only (usually) info. But seriously, I think he also meant learning a lot of great stuff about nutrition, exercise, friendship, support, and all that other mushy stuff we have been there for each other.

So here's to more learning and growing every day!

Cathy - Happy Birthday, enjoy

Fenton - you never know what a bunch of women will talk about. We have all learned so much from each other..

Weigh in today - yuck I am dreading it. No exercise this week, eating out, still no repair for my refrigerator...

I will get on the scale... hesitantly!!!

Happy Valentine's Day

a day early!!!!

Ha! I was just coming to post about your new ink here, having just seen it on Facebook.

It's beautiful!

And of course it stung a bit more because of the lack of padding!

I was going to get another tat when I hit the 100 lb mark, but my then-gf suggested I wait until I'm closer to where I'm going - I've still got another 170 or so to go. Although now I'm thinking I'm going to go down by about another 150, and let the PS take care of the rest.

In other news, I have a new personal trainer. She's brutal, and ruinously expensive, but I think she'll be great for me. She's really, really good, and though she kind of makes mincemeat out of me, I feel really lucky to have her.

      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.
