Freedom Fighters Weekly Weigh In



Recommended Posts

I know the idea of a weekly weigh-in has been thrown around a couple times, but I haven't seen an actual thread started on it, sooooo......

What do you think, weekly weigh in?

If so, what day? I'm partial to weekends, just cuz I'm more likely to weigh myself on the weekends, but I'll go with the majority vote.

Thanks for starting this thread! I'm willing to do whatever day works best for everyone else, but I just joined a Labor Day Challenge on the General Thread, and I think we are going to weigh on Mondays, so I thought I'd throw that out there as a suggestion. I can weigh any day though. I don't mind weighing more than once a week and just tracking the different days' weights on different threads.

since there's only a few of us interested so far, and 2 of us don't care what day, let's go with Amy's suggestion of Monday! :wub:

that is fine with me so are we tracking our losses, do we want to do a start weight or should we use the weights in our tickers as our start weight.

I say we go with whatever we weigh this coming Monday as our starting weights.

i'd really like to see % of weight lost, but i know... that means MATH!

but since i'm heavier than a lot of folks, i like the %'s better. it has more meaning for me.

just my opinion. ;-)

Hi I like this thread. I want to join in. I weighed myself today. I didnt weigh myself before my surgery so I dont know how much I lost preop. I do have my starting weight on the day I was banded though, last Thursday. So four days post op and Ive lost a pound and a half. Not bad.

07/20/2009 -1.5

Surgery Weight--270 (07/07/09)

Today's Weight--262 (07/20/09)

Eight pounds in two weeks is great, but I admit I was still disappointed it wasn't more since I was on liquids the whole time. I only expect the average 1-2 pounds a week once I can eat more normally, but I thought it would be more for my high BMI being only on liquids. Does that even make sense? Anyway, it's a loss, and I'll take it.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
