I was 287 and am now 145

I'll be 7 months post op next week. I'm down 106 pounds. I'm proud of my progress but I am still having issues with seeing myself as a smaller me.

Thanks for hosting

I was 295 pre-op. I am currently between 145-150. Had surgery 10/22/15 so just made my anniversary.

I don't remember if I had a catheter but when I asked my surgeon I remember him saying they don't put it in till after you are sleep. So if I had one I don't even know about it lol. It was taken out before I woke up.

No. That's the beginning of an eating disorder. And I say that with concern. I am three and a half years out and I still throw up once or twice a week. There is really no rhyme or reason, it just happens. I don't MAKE it happen, though, no matter how badly I want it to at times. I could and it would be a relief, but I am afraid that it would trigger the desire to do something every time I am uncomfortable instead of figuring out the root of the problem.
You need to figure out the root of the problem. Mine is usually one bite too many, or one bite not chewed well enough. I don't tolerate rice, Pasta or potatoes, but I try once in awhile for no good reason. I also don't tolerate plain Water at times and I occasionally I try to chug it anyways which is stupid. I keep hoping but...
Talk to your surgeon and possibly a counselor. Don't make throwing up a habit.

Thanks

You look amazing. congrats

I would suggest the preop diet of 3 premier protien shakes, 2 green salads, 1 serving of 6-8oz protien,,, keeps carbs and sugar low, protien high. I lost 23# in 14 days in this diet

My one year anniversary is on the 22nd. I can't believe it's been a year already. I'm down 146 pounds. Hope everyone is doing well.

What is your starting weight? This has a factor on how fast you lose also.

This challenge will run from 10-3-2016 through 10-31-16. This will give us a total of 5 weigh ins. I will do my best to post to the spreadsheet within 1 - 2 day of receiving your weight. Please note that I recalculate the figures over the weekend following the Monday weigh in - so your weight percentages may be a little off...

This challenge is for everyone. If you are pre op, post op, in maintenance or looking for some accountability; this challenge is for you! The rules and link to the spreadsheet are below!

Procedures:
Please Post Your Starting Weight (Weight on or around 10/3) and your Goal Weight (what you would like to weigh at the end of the challenge) at the start of the challenge on 10/3 or before. If no goal weight is posted I will put down 10 pound loss as the goal.

You can cut/paste this below and fill it in on your post -

Goal Weight:
Current Weight:
Today's Date:

Rules:
1. Post your weight on this thread every Monday. Specifically 10/3, 10/10, 10/17, 10/24, 10/31
2. If you change your screen name please let me know.
3. If you miss 2 or more weigh ins, I will assume you no longer want to participate and your name will be removed from the spreadsheet.
4. If you miss a weigh in on Monday, no problem. Just post it asap.
5. We are all here to support each other, if you post a question anyone can answer.
6. You will know your weight is updated on the spreadsheet once I've liked your post!

The link to the spreadsheet is below! Have fun, and good luck with this challenge!!!

If you would like to take over and run the next one (probably for Halloween) please let me know and I will send you the spreadsheet all set up and explain how to update it – It is fairly straight forward.

On with the stats!

We have 56 participating –
5 have been removed for not logging weight since the start of the challenge
We have only 1missing weight for the week so the weight is carried over

Monthly update!
I've gone from 293 to now 210. I can feel ONEderland right on the horizon! Long term goal of 185, 25 lbs til goal.
I had to do some better food logging management after almost a month long stall, and then I started dropping again like crazy. 5 months out and on 800 calories/day as my plan allows.
I have three weeks to make my first goal of 199 lbs (it's when I meet the boyfriend's parents..eek!). Again.. so close!
And I feel GREAT!
I love being able to shop anywhere now. I just slipped into size 16 jeans comfortably and I can shop in the XL/L section at stores. It's so liberating and overwhelming all at once. I can shop for style now instead of necessity!

Good luck!
