July Butterflies Master Thread



Recommended Posts

I haven't posted any pics in while, because I am not near my goal. I don't even have a REAL before.

The one I have here is 1 month post op and I had already lost 20lbs. THAT tells you why I don't have a before...Jeez. In the "before" I am wearing size 6T blue LB right fit jeans. In the "during" I have the same style jeans, but they are a 1T which is the smallest LB makes. The shirt in the before is a 3X and the "during" is an Old Navy Large. I can't believe I am posting this... It seems I am having the same problem kimaly is having...my boobs aren't going anywhere!!!

Girl, you look great! I think July Butterflies have good reason to be proud.

My weight is stuck. I go to the dr for a fill on thursday, but I am not sure if I need one. We will see.

I am also going to Dr Davis' support group on Tues night. I finally have someone to go with me. Last month there were about 25 in the group. All of them were bypass except for me. I think one had her band removed and one had a revision to a bypass because her port was infected. The diet is the same.

I am in the middle of a killer plateau. I just MUST get off my behind and MOVE. I joined the gym, but right now the dang thing is so busy when I can go that I hate to wait for the machines. I am certain, however, that most people will quit going by March. That is what the lady at the gym says happens every year...so until then, I wait or don't go.:smile: I may also go in for a tiny fill. I don't want a lot, maybe just .25ccs. I am extremely afraid of becoming too tight, but I find I can eat a little more than I want.

I know what you mean about being too tight. It is a miserable feeling. I like tweaks......like.25 at a time. My doctor likes doing it that way. I know self pay probably would like to have bigger fills and fewer of them. My insurance has been paying except I have to pay a small amount. I just don't think I have ever reached a sweet spot. Right now, I am in a maintenance spot. I don't get full......I just eat by the calorie amount.

No, change here.......I haven't weighed......I just feel it. I did make a cherry cobbler and of course ate some. Okay, another week . I don't have any food events this week so maybe I will lose a lb.

My weight fluctuates up and down one pound, so I never change the ticker. Until I decide to exercise regularly it isn't going to drop. Luckily, I guess I don't overindulge toooooo much to make it go up. But believe me, I do indulge. Do Reeses Peanut Butter pumpkins, trees, hearts, eggs, ring anyone's bell? They are the work of the devil!!! When I walk down the isles they whisper to me "buy me, I am soooo good":scared2:

My Tuesday weigh in: 2lbs lost this week. I'm really happy with that and please don't get me wrong when I say I just don't understand it. Last week I did everthing I should and lost nothing, This week I ate a whole box of chocolate covered cherries and drank 3 skinny cosmos.:) Sometimes this band just fustrates me:cursing: I just can't seem to figure it out. But a loss is a loss and I'll take it.

      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.
