July Butterflies Master Thread



Recommended Posts

When I was making bad food choices it was out of want not need. I would eat even when I wasn't hungry just because I wanted it. It can consume you, and still battle it everyday

I do the same thing as you but no brain surgery for me. I am just going to try to learn how to deal with it. But it has been a battle.

Hi everyone - I just finished my first week of morning exercising. It's hard getting up but I like having it done. Need to keep it up.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Ladies, I have never asked anything from you before but I am asking for your help now. Not for myself but for Orea, she is always there for any and all of us when we need an encouraging word or just a shoulder to cry on. Right now she is very worried about her DH and his job prospects. I was thinking maybe tomarrow at 3 O'clock, being that it's mothers day and all. We could take just one minute out of our own lives to pray for her to who ever you may pray to in hopes that her hubby will get a good job offer. And all will be good for her and her family. We stick togather and we should prey togather. I beleave good things can and will happen. So deal? know matter what your doing tomarrow at 3 O'Clock we bow our heads and send her our prayers and love OK?

:tt2: Hi everybody. It's been quite awhile since I've written. Been having a terrible time updating my tickler, but I think I finally have it. I guess I've been like everyone else about having a sweet tooth. I've tried to only eat the SF stuff but I know that's still not good for you. Maybe it's the weather change or the time of year. It could be we are just getting bored with our eating change. I have decided to start a journal on Monday (Mother's Day is going to blow it). My sweet husband always cooks me steak and lobster. What a guy! I guess I'm like many of you with the bat wings. Thank goodness for three-quarter sleeves.

I wish I could exercise more. I have a vertebrate in my lower back that is sideways. Hurts most of the time, so most exercise is out. I went to physical therapy and it nearly killed me. I see my back surgeon next week. Oh joy!

Well hang in there guys, we've come to far to backout now.

Hope every mom out there has a great day!

I will say my prayer at 3 for Orea. Kimaly, you are a very thoughtful person to initiate this. I have not posted here in quite awhile. I am an original "butterfly" and used to post when we were all first banded. I have done really well. Lately, I feel as though I want to be more part of the band community. Non-bansters just don't understand some of the things we go through. I hope that you wonderful group of woman don't mind if I join back in. Have a great day!

Hi Barb, Yes you can come back. You will always be a butterfly. I am so glad you have done so well. Are you struggling with anything right now? If you are just post it and we will all respond.

No, I am not struggling with anything right now. I am slowly getting used to myself and the attention I get at 120 lbs lighter. I have gotten pretty used to living and eating in the "Bandster" lifestyle. I just want to have better connection to fellow bansters like in Janet's thread. It is nice to feel like you belong and know others who have gone through the same thing and have to eat a certain way. Hope everyone has a great day! :mad2:

AWESOME WEIGHT LOSS! How many calories do you eat in a day? I need a jump start. Just wanted to know what you eat in a typical day.

Donna where have you been? Is everything going well for you? I was used to seeing you often and I had not seen you for a while.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!

      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!
