November Nymphs Summer Kick-Off Weight Loss Challenge



Recommended Posts

Thanks Holly.

Also my fills cost $350.00 each. So if I can do this without having to get too many fills then thats more money in the pot for a Tummy Tuck down the road. :-D Lord knows I am gonna need one and maybe a Breast Lift. My poor girls are sure deflating and heading down, down down.

Hi All, Just checking in. I have no weight loss to report. I am one of those that also cannot understand how I can eat this much with 8.4 cc's in my band. Have another fill scheduled for Weds a.m.. Since I get so tight right after, I think I am going to have to go often and do very small fills until I hit the right spot. chicken, beef, you name it, it goes down.

I am in Rhode Island until Tues a.m. Cleaning, Cleaning, cleaning. I think the work I'm doing makes me believe I "deserve" the treats I'm eating, but I know I'm not doing that much work. Too many of those 100 calorie snack packs ( and no scale here). I won't be buying those packs anymore. I thought I was back on track after vacation but I am off my old routine.

And the wedding looms large!

Hopefully after my fill, I'll lose a few.

Hi everyone,

Hope all is going well in band land!

I went to my DR yesterday (5-15-08) and found out that I lost 10.5 pounds since my last visit on April 14, 2008!!!!!

I thought that I was not doing so well-- but then I always think that :w00t:

I have been exercising more, riding my bike and walking.

I did ask for another fill. A week before my visit I always feel like I can eat more than I should. Now it is never as much as I used to could eat,, but it worries me. I ate a piece of cake on Mothers Day and I don't think I should have been able to eat that !! LOL

He put 1/2 cc in me. I think I have 7 cc's and my band is a 10cc but I'm not sure.

My DR recommends clear liquid the day after a fill and so far I haven't even wanted food. I love the super full feeling I'm getting with just Water and Soup (OK, so now you all know that I'm crazy LOL)

Ok so when I accepted this challenge I was at 246 my current weight is 238!!! total of 8 Pounds lost.

It's funny but I'm omly anal about certain things and messy in others.

I am so glad to be reporting new weight loss. I had been sabotaging myself for too long and I hope that I will be able to get past that as I try to lose more.

I hope you continue to lose Cindy, you're probably at a bit of a plateau... you've got to hit that 100 lbs soon!! :woot::Banane20:

WTG on the losses, guys. I've been doing too much stress eating. It's been a hobby that sadly I have picked back up. :thumbdown: I am working on it this weekend because I know I've gained a couple lbs back and I do NOT like it. Back to basics, as they say. I don't see how I'll make 159 by June 21st, but the unexpected is always possible, I suppose.

It's so easy to do Steph but you've achieved so much so far that no doubt you'll get back on track.

Well, I finally lost 1lb. I have been on this plateau for weeks. The Water aerobics and the fill seem to be kicking in. Here is hoping to a whole bunch more soon.

Keep up the great work everyone.

I have no weight gain or loss to report on this challenge yet. Got a fill this a.m .3cc, think I need more but have decided to go a little at a time.

Driving back to RI now, just came home to Ct for the appt.

Don;t have much time for the forum lately. things will calm down soon and I'll check in on all the great weight losses I'm sure you're all posting!!!

      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.
