Well, I've Decided To Hang It Up . . .

Lets hope that you find a new fun and exciting hobby to fill your time! You deserve it! -
I lost 18 pounds in the Memorial Day challenge so I am aiming for a 20 pound loss in this one. Here are my stats: HW: 358 SW: 335 CW: 302 GW: 282
-
Darn, I was so close. Didn't make the goal but still losing 18 pounds is okay by me. I'll do better on the 4th of July challenge. HW: 358 SW: 335 CW: 302 GW: 300 (okay I'd like 299 even more)

Food network was one I watched too. Man vs food just grossed me out now but I couldn't turn away.

bratvp63 replied to Gbaby17's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
Are you of the age where you could be stopping? I only had 3 periods last year and haven't had one since Jan and my sugery was in March. I hope that I'm done, it's been way too long. -

Oregondaisey - we are at the coast all the time there in Lincoln City. Wouldn't be to far to go if we met half way in between.

Not Enough Weight Loss! Scary
bratvp63 replied to simplyQuel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I lost slowly the first five weeks but now it's picking up. Was losing about half a pound a day until this week where I'm already down 6 and I have two more days left till I weigh in. Hang in there it will get better. -
Hey guys! Checking in finally. Down 29 pounds since surgery and 52 overall. I have dropped three pant sizes and am finally feeling like I am really going to be successful at this.
-
So I bought two pair of pants when I went back to work three weeks ago and they were two sizes smaller then before and they are already too big. Had a long stall and once it broke the weight is finally falling off. I should invest in suspenders to keep my pants up or get some new ones. This is crazy but I am loving every minute of it! Thank you sleevie!
-
Checking in...Down a couple more this week, hoping next week is still better. Gots to start movin and grovin here. I really want to make my first challenge. HW: 358 SW: 335 CW: 309 GW: 300

Guess I've Hit The Dreaded Stall Already
bratvp63 replied to CHELL's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Don't let him get to you. I had only lost 15 pounds at my one month check in. They told me that was half a pound a day average which was a good safe way to lose. I don't want super saggy hanging skin all over so I'll take my half a pound a day and celebrate that those are pounds I won't ever see again! -
Surgeon Doesn't Do A Leak Test...deal Breaker?
bratvp63 replied to BKMama's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon does not do a leak test either. And no tubes to deal with afterwards. I feel blessed that everything has been working out great so far. -
Down a few more this week, hoping next week is better. Really want to make my first challenge. HW: 358 SW: 355 CW: 311 GW: 300

I'm a card carrying member!!! Never have had to use it, I usually pick something on the "lean healthy" side and when I don't eat it all they never question, they just bring me a box. Or my husband and I split a dinner, that works the best of all. I got my card at my one month visit.

ChaCha - we have so many similarities that it's almost scary.

These were taken the morning of the surgery
