    So i got very brave today and purchased a digital bathroom scale to help me better measure my progress and keep me focused .

    I promised myself a week or bi-weekly weigh in so i don't drive myself into a obsessive compulsive tailspin. Fortunately for me i threw caution to the wind and hopped on the scale (Please note this has been my mortal enemy for decades) and to my surprise i am down another 18 lbs! Yipee :D . This puts me ahead of my goal to be in the 200"s for Thanksgiving.

    As of today's glorious date i am down a total of 145 lbs since i started this program 1 year ago

    At this rate i should be ( God willing and the Creek don't rise ) at my goal weight of 180 Lbs by May of 2014.

    Thanks you God for letting me find Dr.Richard Ing and the entire team at The Bryn Mawr Hospitals Bariactric center.

    .

    Hope everyone is have a Beautiful Sunday.

    RJ

    Awesomeness!

    I really wonder what, physiologically, could be happening that several are hungry and feeling big frustration. I keep wondering if it isn't because of the estrogen-fat release depression the doctor told me about. I mean we're burning pounds and fat, hearing good comments but not yet seeing a supermodel in the mirror, feeling better but not yet marathon ready, losing our hair (me), puking occasionally when we eat a bite too much (anyone else occasionally worried we're a shade too close to bulimia), happy weight is coming off while criticizing ourselves for the ugly jiggly fat folds, and we're just so accustomed to failing that we keep waiting for the next shoe to drop and ruin it all. I think therapy, support groups, and time can help but people nature is to want everything perfect now and we've learned to be impatient far longer than we've learned to be patient. As hard as it is, seems to me at this point we just have to give ourselves permission to "be", "settle", and "just accept" where we are in this moment in this vessel. We can and will DO this together!

    Well said! On a side note... I'm sure my cats are tired of cleaning themselves and finding one of my superlong hairs on them!!!

    i'm feeling it too... not sure why or what's up with me but i either want to eat' date=' or sleep or scream... and I'm not hungry... it's just something to do I think?[/quote']

    Maybe so. I know some of my life priorities have changed. Maybe its frustration mixed in too?

    ARGH!! Srsly... ARGH!.. I'm hungry. I've tried to space out my "snacks" so that I'm not continually eating but geeez!. I wonder since I had a hysterectomy back in 06 and have no idea when I'm ovulating, if that could be contributing my my hunger. I know it's mostly mouth hunger and I'm keeping my Snacks to sugar free Jello and sugar free puddin' but with work being a real stress ball and me wanting to move to TX sooner rather than later :throws hands up in the air and walks in a circle: to be with my sweet grandbebe, I am frustrated beyond the max. I can't even get excited about the class I'm taking. :sighs:.. Sorry for the whine dear friends but my cheese has rotted. :'(

    So I stopped and ordered a diet lemonade today on my way home-- so sick of Water and unsweetened tea! Lol they screwed up and gave me regular. Dump city! So angry! I have so much I needed to get done tonight. I kinda want to call up and tell them that they made me really sick by screwing up my order (which I made very specific).

    I would call. What if you had been a diabetic? That would have caused major problems besides dumping!!

    My fiancé finally took my scale away! Haha I was weighing every day and getting frustrated because I have been in a really long "stall"' date=' but somehow lost 2 pants sizes without losing any pounds! He told me I need to start focusing on my NSVs and side by side pics instead of numbers or I'm just going to keep getting bummed out as I build muscle.... I think he's right... :( lol hard words to say! :P

    So I out this together tonight and it helped!

    Ugh!!!!! So frustrating!! I was 180 yesterday morning' date=' tonight I'm back up to 182.6. I know I should be weighing myself at the same time everyday and I do but it's taken me like a month to get out of the 180s and I was so close. =([/quote']

    I was told not to weigh every day because of fluctuations from things like bloating

    I am struggling a little. I feel great with my weight loss so far' date=' and I know I have so much more to lose, but I have been falling back into old habits. I am not dumping. :( I guess that's good and bad. I have found myself eating things like pretzels and crackers instead of my Protein. Protein just doesn't sit as well in my pouch. I also am not exercising as much as I should because I am staying so busy with life.... any suggestions?[/quote']

    Hey! I remind myself how much the surgery costs and remember the last hurl when I start having a week moment. That usually does the trick.

    I have been giving mine away in selective batches by how much I liked to wear them. Nonfavorites were given away first; then successive groupings based on how much I wore them. Come to find out, the last batch had several I really need to toss anyway. lol!

    BTW. Wore my first pair of size 36 jeans in 13 years to the Brushy Mountain Apple Festival this past Saturday. Sweat like a dawg because it was so hot but TOTALLY worth it!

    Hi Junies' date=' I'm struggling and I need to verbalize, lol! Anyone else having trouble wrapping their head around the fact that they have more to lose -- that they aren't done yet? I've lost 71 lbs and have reached uncharted territory about 20 lbs ago. In other words I've never been this weight in my adult life. I still have 50 more lbs to lose till my goal, and it's really hard to believe that I will keep losing. The scale has only moved 4 lbs in 3 weeks and I'm afraid my mental attitude is causing the slowdown.

    Also I have been slacking on the exercise. I went to they gym this week after a 3 week absence and discovered that the workout I was doing is way too easy for me now. I mean, I barely broke a sweat. How does this happen so fast? So the next day I amped it up and lo and behold the scale started moving again.

    Sometimes I just sit in awe of what is happening to my body. It's wild and scary sometimes!

    Thanks for listening. <3[/quote']

    It is a wild ride we are on. Rollercoaster central!

    I interviewed for a new position at my job today (a promotion). It felt incredible to fit all the way in the chair. I was able to focus on the questions instead of wondering if the chair was about to break from under me. I gave a great interview and feel hopeful of the results.

    Preop weight 389 current weight 304...that's 85 lbs lost since RNY 6/11/13

    Fingers crossed!

    How many ounces are you guys eating in a serving? I am still only able to get about 3 maybe 3.5 ounces in during a meal. I measure and weigh all my meals. Is this pretty average to the rest of june surgeries?

    I eat between 2.5 and 3ish.
