    Just updated my goal weight now that I am getting close to my original goal!!

    1. Jim1967

      Jim1967

      I've done that a few times myself. My Surgeon never gave me a goal weight. He left that all on me to decide. Maybe he didn't want to pressure me at the time with numbers. Congratulations to hitting your first goal weight or close to it. :)

    The good news is. the longer you are in the WLS community, the easier it is to ignore inflammatory posts and people.

    1. Jim1967

      Jim1967

      Yea but for a lot that usually means being less active and helping others who come after you. I am guilty of it but try to pop in least once a day if only for a few minutes.

    I love reading posts from ppl who tell others they shouldn't get lapband because they have a high BMI...joke

    1. Jim1967

      Jim1967

      In my opinion Doctor's have become so biased themselves because of patient non compliance. They want the quick in and out surgeries that make them money and not get chained down with after care.

    My two year anniversary today!! Hard to believe how far I've come at times. Sometimes I think I must be dreaming...

    1. Jim1967

      Jim1967

      Thank you both very much. Jamllyne I am still struggling with my self image. I look in the mirror all I see is the big unhealthy fat man. Only when I look at the side by side pics do I fully appreciate how far I've come. I hope some day that will change.

      My BM have never been the same since surgery. I used to be a once a day to every 3 now even with extra fiber :(

    I am 3 months post surgery and have been in a two week stall. I am getting a little frustrate but not freaking out....yet. Eating less id not break me out of it, eating more did not break it, and it started when I started hitting the gym more frequently. I know the numbers don't lie and I will lose. I guess I just got spoiled by losing 4-5 week for so long. I hope this doesn't last much longer.

    1. Jim1967

      Jim1967

      Hi Bob, Hang in there the scale will get moving again. I know it can be frustrating but slow and steady is the name of the game. Look for those NSV's to get you through. Looser clothes, extra hole on the belt. All the little things add up :)

    So tired of these pissing contests. Band/Bypass/Sleeve who cares..Whatever works. No wonder so many leave and not come back.

      Sharing an experience is one thing but down right telling someone they shouldn't do something because they will fail is just wrong even if it is based on their own experience. No two people are the same and the experience will vary.

    Stalling at 2wks post op! Is this normal?!?!

    1. Jim1967

      Jim1967

      You shouldn't expect weight loss this soon out of surgery. First month is healing. Scale could go up and down right now.

  16. Jim1967

    Well I hit my goal that I set back in 2011. Time to book that Disney trip :)

      I am with you on that one. Supposed to be mid 50's with rain this weekend. I'll take that. At least I can thaw a bit.

  18. Patiently Awaiting

    Shouldnt I be losing more weight?? Surgery date 7/31/2013 275 12/30/13 245

    1. Jim1967

      Jim1967

      You're averaging about 1.5lbs a week which is what is expected. 1-2 lbs a week. Sounds like you are on track. Congratulations!!

    Sometimes you just need to be patient and let the process work. I am still learning that but I am getting better!!

    260lbs gone....8lbs to a goal I set in 2011. I am pondering changing my goal.

    1. Jim1967

      Jim1967

      Thank you :-) I am pondering changing my goal from 220 to 199. Can't decide if I should or not. Technically I am still considered obese.

    if you eat more calories than you burn off, you will gain weight...regardless of WLS or not...

    1. Jim1967

      Jim1967

      Exactly. I choose the good stuff over the bad cause I can only eat a little as it is.
