September 2009 Band Date

[juststarting 0]

welcome to Sexy Septembers! I think you are losing pretty much that same as me. What type of exercising are you doing?

Thanks Dee,

Good point, I have not started my exercise yet. I was pretty sick after surgery and stayed in the hospital 2 nights. Then I came home and we had 2 deaths in the family. Enough excuses! It's time to get moving with some physical activity.

Sad to say I can eat an entire slice of pizza with zero problems...the only problem is that I LOVE pizza :thumbup: and I really need to steer clear....But with 4 kids, I have to learn to live with it being around pretty often. If I can actually limit it to 1 slice every time that would be amazing.

Wow, I thought I read a lot before my surgery but now I feel like I know nothing. What are the "foamies" and this "slimming" thing people talk about. I am 4 weeks out and had 1 slice of pizza one night this week for dinner and felt fine. Maybe it is becasue I have not had a fill yet. I feel like I eat MUCH MUCH less than pre-band days and fill up quickly but I ahve had no trouble with any kind of food. Maybe I am getting over-confident. Are things different after the fill? I am losing 2 pounds per week, sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less.

just adding myself to the September band list :thumbup:

Dee - my clothes are very loose on me and before they were very tight because I refused to get more heavier clothes. Some of this weight came on very recently in April when my young horse died (I delivered him as I own his mother); and raised him from birth. I'm single no kids so that was like my baby. Very heartbreaking for me. And he was young not even 4. There is one suit i can def be rid of. The rest of the things I own are riding pants which i've been squeezing into... and jeans which are falling on me but my next size down is 2 sizes that I own :thumbup: Still not buying clothes yet. Maybe I should though. I did only buy myself 2 pairs of riding pants and I ordered them smaller because they are very expensive at over 200 each.

Yea just be careful especially with rice. I have been ravenous lately and yesterday there is this famous 'food cart' chicken, lamb and rice and i decided to try it. First of all no great shakes... but I took 3 fast bites cuz i was starving didn't eat much all day.. and I get the stuck thing going on - and almost had the saliva coming up.. but it went down. I think if I took smaller bites and did not eat fast this would not have happened but when we get fills this can happen jst with those types of foods from what I read.

I just got a call from personal trainer confirming appt for tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to it because I hate exercising. I have not lost anything since starting mushies on thurs. I keep gong u ad down with the same 2 lbs. The same thing happened with the last 2 lbs. Anyone else have this problem?

I think it really helps to keep a food log. I even kept one when I was all liquids. It is a pain, but it works. There are many online but I have had more success with the little book you carry with you. Calorie King makes a great little one that they sell at Barnes and Nobel. It is the perfect size.

YES i think we ALL had that problem. But add the exercise it helps. keep writing down the weight and then go back to 2 weeks ago after you have started food and hopefully then you wil have lost 2-4 lbs (we are supposed to be losing 1-2 lbs a week). Anyway same thing here. But people keep telling me I lost more weight and its been very marginal up and down the same two lbs. But I may be 3-5 lbs lower than when I started mushies (ps I did gain 2.5 lbs when I went to mushies). So that did become the new starting point because realistically something was going to come on in just Water weight after that liquid craziness.

Go exercise you will feel great after - your outlook will be better, your head will be better. It helps so many things! I am so happy to be back in the gym again.. and I walk a lot now too.

thank you, glad to hear that it's ok and I am not alone. Eating so little and not losing is not any fun!!!! Still hungry after I eat. Then have to wait to drink to try to fill the void.

I'd love to see everyone on one list! Who can do this? Combine all lists so all names are on one list.

This list seems to have everyone up to this date, then other lists that are shorter are added to at later dates...

[nawlinzlady 1]

Please use this list to add names, it seems to be the most updated one we have. If someone has a better idea on how to do this, let us know. If anyone has been left out, please copy & paste this list and add yourself, thanks!
