so....for today, I used:

2 - caramel Latte Protein powder

1 - 1/2 C ff Milk

0 - coffee, black

1 - sm carb free Isopure

3 - 1 scrambled egg [only ate about 1/3, but rounding it up to the whole point value]

2 - 1TBL hollendaise sauce [to get egg down]

2 - 1/4 C ricotta cheese

0 - 1 Tbl of marinara

so my day worked out to 11 points consumed. I am allotted 23.....I guess I'll have another Protein shake before bed, as I'm lite on Protein too.

No exercise today, except got dressed and went to work for the 1st time since banding. UGH!

I need to track my H2O as well..so much to do.....:thumbdown:

I have looked for rubys show but never found it. What channel does it come on? I love biggest loser, I record it and watch it while I use the treadmill. It is actually a motivating show for me. I've never had the steak and mac one, I'll have to try it. I have done great the past two days staying within my points. Of course the food wasn't all that healthy but as long as i stay within my points thats ok. I sure hope I don't blow it saturday though. For my daughters birthday me and my sister and motherinlaw are taking my daughter and ten of her freinds to a motel. we are swimming playing games having cake, baskin robbins ice cream, pizza and chips for supper.I will work out though at the motel plus swim with the girls before I go to bed. I'm going to try to be strong and not give in to food that looks so yummy.

KARLZMOM sounds like you are doing good keeping track of your points. I noticed you have already lost 20 some pounds that is good. Did you lose that pre band or during the last two weeks. Your on the right track keep up the good work.

China you still lost so I say you did good for the week. I got up this morning and did a very bad thing, the kids wanted mcdonalds. I gave in and had biscuit gravy and hashbrown bad choice already. The hashbrown was 3 points biscuit was 5 points not sure how much the gravy was I have no listing for it in my book. So I'll say 5 points 13 ponits already boy I will have to be real carefull the rest of the day. Why is it we do so good then seem to blow it in one minute? Guess thats why we are overweight and have problems losing. I have to wait four more weeks till I get my next fill but I so need it already. My band had 4cc and before my unfill it had 5.5cc.China I think you are doing great wihout any in your band I wish I was that stong and had resticion with nothing in mine. I will plan my meal before i go saturday just hope I can be stronge and not give in sometimes I plan exactley what I'll have but the voice talks me into something different. LOL! Yes summer is almost here and I would love to lose some more weight and look good. I exercise all day which keeps me from gaining thats a good thiing. So as long as I don't gain I'm ok

hey skinnygirl hows it going. me im doing ok. go luck it up on mcdonalds web page and it will tell you or next time look on the back of the wrapper and it will tell you and you just convert it into points i do that all the time.

well i got on the scale and it said i was donw 3lbs i know why though i eat some chix and it got stuck and pb and havent been able to eat much lately. but, i hope it gets better in a day or to. so all the junk food 4 me nah just playing. and then there is work i have been working alot and not really having much time to eat das how the chix got stuck rushing. damn sure wont do that again. the stupid lady at work gone say are u pregnant hun. i just looked at her. but, thats a whole nother story. i think you should plan out every thing your gonna eat that day and if you want to eat more at the party eat less durning the day. and as long as you dont eat over your points you should be fine. and working out is a great thing i have to work on drinking more Water. i would like to get up to 80ozs of Water a day. so that will come in time. why dont you try the 5day test and that will let you know if you need a fill or not. well talk with ya 2morow have a great wk end.

happy moters day

I did not do so good over the weekend. China what is the five day pouch test? I have never heard of it? Tell me about it and I may give it a try. That sucks about the chix but you lost weight though. LOL! I have gained two pounds but Haven't worked out since Friday. After I work out at the gym MOnday it should go back down. I tend to gain Water weight if I don't work out So I'm not going to sweat it. We ahd a great time this weekend. YOu guys would not belive what we did. THIS BUS OF CHURCH PEOPLES WAS ON FIRE WE HELPED THEM OUT OF THE VAN. THEN MY SISTER IN LAW BLOCKED TRAFFIC AND I USED FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO TRY HELP GET THE FIRE OUT. IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP SO WE BACKED OFF AND A TRUCK DRIVER PULLED UP AND TOOK OVER TILL THE FIRE TRUCK FINALLY CAME. ALL THE PEOPLE WAS OK BUT THEY DID LOSE ALL THERE EQUIPMENT. WE WAS ON THE WAY TO MR GATTIS WITH TWO CAR LOADS OF GIRLS AND NO ONE WOULD STOP AND HELP THE POOR PEOPLE. SURE DID MAKE US FEEL GOOD TO HELP OF COUSE WE PARKED OUR CARS AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE ON FIRE TO ENSURE ALL THE GIRLS WERE SAFE.

Skinny - what an adventure! Isn't it sad how many people won't help someone truly in need? I guess thats why we have video of a guy dieing on the sidewalk and people only stop long enough to snap a phone pic.

A bit about me, I started cutting portions on my own when I started the process of geting approved for my surgery. I was at a high of 265 when the whole this started the 1st week of 2010. I count my "start" weight as 260, as that is what the surgeon got me at on my 1st consult in February. During the run up to surgery, including my 10 day liquid fast I got down to 247. Surgery was on the 19th of April and as of yesterday I was 231.2..so I've lost about 16lbs since my operation.

I'm not sure I'll get back to post the whole day, but here are the post lunch stats: I am allotted 28 points [not the previously anticipated 23] per gender/age/ht/wt.

1 believe caramel latte in black coffee [protein shake] = 2

2Tbl Hummus = 2

1 crab cake [baked] = 4

1Tbl cocktail sauce = 0!

1C FF choc milk = 3

so, at 1:30p I'm at 11 points or less than half the days allotment....I should do ok today unless I mainline a Jack-n-the-box Oreo cookie shake before bed :confused:

The hardest part of all this is getting "ALL" of the band rules put together and still having something to eat LOL! by the time its soft, easily digestible - but not a carb, or sugar, or fried..gets me my 80-100g of Protein for the day and still get in my 64oz of Water....gee its exhausting just listing it, let alone trying to cook and eat it!!! KWIM?

Anyway, I may check in later, but if not I hope the weekend was good for ya'll and will check in later this week.

My surgeon's nutritionist mentioned to me that if I wanted to continue the weight watchers that she would modify the points for me. Right now I'd be allowed 27 points. Did anyone else have to modify your points level? TIA

Glad your test is over you can stop stressing. Barns and noble book store has a journal called diet minder it cost about 12 dollars it las t maybe six months and has lots of room to right point calories Protein etc. The book has alot of other interesting stuff in it I recomend it iver the weight watcher journal. I have the old scale you just set stuff on and it moves plus the digital ww scale. the digital is worth your momey it even stores past food in the memory. The food companion and dinning out is a life savedr for me. To be successful at ww your need those simple tools. I did great all week but Saturday I had about one plate food one tabelspoon of about six foods and 4 meat balls and nacho cheese dip with chips. about four hours later I had the same thing agian. I did pass on the cake and had a bite of my daughters so after al the bad choices I did make one good one. For supper taco 4 point chips 4 points. I did walk for thirty minutes around the neighborhood at my mother in laws but other than that I did no exercise the whole weekend. I exersice everyday like three or four times but today I thought I would skip it. I may not lose no more but the one pound but hey I can dill with that.

so how did the rest of you guys do? Hope everyone did good this past week.

Last night Me and the kids got to watch chicken eggs hatching it was so cool you could hear churping before the egg craked and see the egg shaking like crazy. In the next 3 days we might have 20 baby chicks. All kids should watch eggs hatch in enquibater it was such a nice experience. I guess anything amazes me LOL!

omg im so happy for you. keep up the good work well i have been kinda off track with this test and all. we i took it and passed it so now im getting back on track starting monday. but, i will eat healthy over the wkend. i didnt weight this wk but, will do so tuesday and see what damage i have done. well what ever it is i will work it off. monday is the start of a new me in more than one way. so i will keep everyone updated on how that is going. im going to ww 2morow and buy that 3month journal i think that will really help me and the dinning out book. i saw they had a packet for 25. i think im gonna treat myself and get it. i really would luv to get that ww digital food scale. i mite gotta work on that one. so how is everyone doing this wk. well lets keep up with the posting as it is very important. skinnygirl let me know how you made out.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
