March Bandsters: MASTER THREAD

Of course, I realize that A-Dub will now spend the rest of the day googling various combos of "Wii, controller, johnson"...

If only I had the time! :rolleyes2: :) :biggrin:

but I did go to a Water aerobics class last night, "Deep Water Workout". I am feeling it in parts of my body this morning, but will go back for the next class. It was a hoot.

Deep water workout, sounds great! I used to do "Water Running" (that is literally exactly how it sounds -- "running", neck deep in water, without touching the bottom of the pool) and I loved it. I should actually get back into it! When it's not so cold.

Hey Fenton,

A quick "Protein shake clarification" - do you peel your bananas BEFORE you freeze them? I didn't quite think it through yesterday when I chucked my bananas in the freezer, then spent a good 10 minutes trying to peel the goddamn frozen banana for my shake this morning! Not for the faint-hearted!

Or I may just be a wimp. It's highly possible.

Haha! Not that you're NOT a wimp, but I quickly discovered that a frozen banana is almost impossible to peel - you really learn a lot about the structure of a banana that way.

I buy bananas a half dozen at a time - in the US, at least where I shop, they're always unripe, so I leave them to ripen (almost to overripeness, actually), then peel them and freeze them.

Don't mind me. I've been writing papers all day, i'm cold, I know i should go and go some exercise before I go to bed but i'm putting it off.

Right, that's it!

I'm putting on the iPod and getting on the Wii Fit!

(wow... i should be in marketing... or just stop being so influenced by it...)

Hi Everyone.

I am glad to hear that everyone is doing well. I haven't been writing, but I have been reading. I, too, am doing well. I have managed to lose a total of about 30 pounds since March 25, and that includes weekends in both New York and New Orleans. I have no restriction, but I am trying to hold off on a first fill until I stop losing weight on my own. Am I the only one who hasn't gotten a fill yet? I keep going back and forth and would love to hear from others who have yet to be filled!

Anyway, summer is in full swing, kids are in camp, and I am getting into a new excercise routine...no wii fit for me either,but I am tempted!

Keep up all the good and hard work!

Erika

By the way,

I also wanted to share that I have found the ABSOLUTE best tasting Protein Powder on the planet. I am very picky and promise you that it is awesome tasting. I get mine at GNC and it is called Max Protein, but not all GNCs carry it. I guess each store is individually owned and operated,but ask your local store and if they don't carry it, they can make arrangements to get it. The have chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. I am all about the chocolate and make a shake every morning. If you want/need more info. I'd be happy to share. I don't endorse many things, but this is in a class all by itself!

Geez, I've been gone a long time! When I logged in it showed my last log in as 4-25, so almost 2 months! I'm really happy to hear everyone is doing well, and I need to get caught up on my reading. I've just been skimming today.

So far I've had 4 fills, up to 6.5 cc's and have lost 33 pounds so far. My last fill was the one that did the trick. Hadn't been losing much up until then, but I got the last one on Wednesday of last week and in 6 days I lost 9 lbs.! (Whoo-Hoo!) But I'm starting to notice that I've lost some restriction but I'm scheduled to go back on July 7th so we'll see where I'm at then.

Just have to say that I LOVE "having" to buy new pants because my old (size 24, gasp!) are falling off and I don't even have to unbutton them to get them on and off anymore! (Lucky Hubby, tho! Which in that I've noticed a big difference too! I feel a lot sexier and I am now lighter than when we first started dating.)

Anyhoo, sorry this is long but I've missed all you guys!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
