  1. Down another three pounds and had my one-month post-surgery follow-up (although its actually be 7 weeks tomorrow, their scheduling sucks). The nurse practitioner was pleased with my weight loss (36 pounds in 7 weeks) and told me I was cleared to go back to water aerobics and whatever else I would like to pursue exercise wise. Now to find a new pair of tennis shoes :)

      36 pounds - that's awesome! Congrats!

  2. Hour cardio.....full 30 minute weight routine.....and still no real hunger....one month post op today....a little whey protein afterwards and some Gatorade.....

    #NotBad

  3. Me and the Scale have been having a staring contest this morning cause i want to weigh so bad it hurts but i know its a bad idea so i am trying to hold out.  I get this way every time i am at a threshold. in this case the 179/180 crossover. based on last weeks weight i should cross over to the 170's this week.

    I have  only weighed 170 anything for 2 years of my adult life. oct 1984 till sometime in 1986 when i crossed back into the 180's

    well i got the windows and doors open wide and the birds are singing. It is a California Classic today - for those poor souls that have never enjoyed one it is mid 70's to mid 80's and a slight breeze that just begs you to spend the day in the sun.

    Now come August when its on its 27 day of 105+ i will be bitchin and moaning to no end :) 

  4. Bouncing around 243-245 and can't seem to break this stall. Since the month after surgery I haven't lost more than a few pounds. I am tracking my food and getting enough protein (I weigh everything), I have increased my workouts and I am now doing cardio and elliptical for a min of 40 minutes/day as well as weight lifting. I am drinking about 55 - 65  oz of water. I am staying at the 600 - 800 calories as recommended by my surgeon. What is the magic required to drop these pounds? On the positive side, I have energy and am able to move around a whole lot better. I feel good and that says a lot.  This week I had 2 people at work notice and told me I am melting away.  So things are moving, just can't get that scale to budge!!!

  5. Brain dump and rambling...Here I am 7.5 weeks post op and I am stuck at the same 25lb weight loss that I have had for the last 3.5 weeks. I am feeling down, dejected and frustrated with lack of movement on the scale. I am able to get into a lot of clothes and shoes that were troublesome before so I have had some non-weight related wins, but I am ready to scream about the lack of weight loss. I have upped my calories, lowered my calories, increased my exercising and I am hitting all my numbers for protein. I am still having issues with bathroom visits and vitamins making me feel sick to my stomach. On another note, nothing I eat makes me feel sick other than the aforementioned vitamins, no nausea at all from any foods.  I seriously keep asking if I even had the surgery completed because I feel the same. I feel hungry and I FEEL THE SAME as before surgery. I am afraid I am going to be stuck here at 245lbs and not make any more progress. Did I choose the wrong surgery? Should I have done bypass instead of sleeve? Time will tell. Sigh - not a good day for me.

  6. So my daughter reminded my she had a snap shot on her phone of me from about 3 months before i started this journey so pretty close to my max weight. I have had it for few days now and had to work thru my emotions before i could clearly decide if i wanted to post this or not. So the beard hides my 3 chins pretty well but well you can see for yourself. loose skin and all5af22ea94792e_afteredit.thumb.jpg.0ea9e2bb6c2ad3d5993563ef2e870ab6.jpg

  7. My tailbone is not happy with my weight loss. I have to reposition SO OFTEN at my work desk because it starts hurting if I sit one way for too long. This has never been a problem for me before!

      It's a good sign! I have the same thing. Means that you're winning the game.

      I have the same problem. Soaking in a tub has become uncomfortable because I no longer have the cushion.

  8. Yesterday marks 1 year of my weight loss journey. My first weigh in after deciding to get bariatric surgery I was 259.4 lbs. Today I am 215 lbs. So happy where I'm at!

    80 pounds gone

    2/3 of my excess weight is gone, another 40 pounds to go. God I used to have gorgeous hair but oh well, it will grow back! :) Love the new, younger looking me!
  14. Well this is my first post. I decided to get weight loss surgery about 4 months ago. I was going thru alot with my health. Shortness of breathe, pain in all my joints, and having problems walking. Well this journey actually started back in 2011 when I fell at work. Since then I have had 5 surgeries and one more that is being scheduled after weightloss surgery. I also had gained about 50 lbs and my health kept deteriorating . I had gone to several doctors for all my issues and had all the necessary test and had followed several different diets.Everything needed for surgery without actually knowing I had already meet all the criterias. So when I went to Brookdale Hospital for a my Gastric sleeve appointment i already had almost everythng I needed except physic , nutrionist, and sleep apnea test. Well as of the middle of May all paperwork was in and papers were submitted to Insurance Company and as of May 26 I have been approved for surgery. Surgery date is June 13, 2016 and I am now into my second week of pre-op diet . I started this journey with a weight of 230 I am 5'4" and now weigh 215. I have studied everything from pre-op diets, post-op diets and the journey afterwards. Well Im one week away from surgery and I am becoming more and more anxious with less and less energy. Doing everything correct following diet and taking all my vitamins and using all my protein powders yet finding it harder and harder to function as a normal person. Well I guess thats it for now Ill post again as time goes by.

  15. I officially weight less than my husband. Only by 1 lb, but I'll take it!!!!

      @Christinamo7 he was almost upset about it. I'm not sure why though. I would think a man would want his woman to weigh less.

    2. Christinamo7

      Christinamo7

      maybe he's just competitive! David wanted to loose 10 pounds but I said, hold on there and let me get a little further ahead of you. :-) or else don't tell me.

      Of course you'll take it...or leave it. Your name should be on a sparkling marquee.

  16. My stress-induced weight loss seems to be slowing. Two mornings in a row now with no loss, which is a big relief!

    1. Margie122

      Margie122

      That's good! I hope the stress in your life is getting better. I went through a period of about a year where my work stress was killing me. I was able to find a new job, thank goodness, and was so much happier.

      Jamie, I hope this means things at home - are better?

  17. I have broken the 3rd stall since surgery and am down 8 more pounds for a total of 47 since surgery 15 weeks ago. 230 pounds gone from my highest weight. That new scale I got on Monday was kind of not liking either my body or maybe where I placed it as it wouldn't register for me. The number after the . wouldn't stop moving and the scale never beeped like it did for my roommate when he got on it. Yesterday the scale finally registered a weight for me. I moved it and got on it naked where as before I had clothing on.

      jane13

      to update your current weight the easiest way is to scroll down to the bottom of this page and where it reads together we have lost...otherwise the little tool next to your name - look for tickers!

       

      Welcome!

  19. My weight loss tip of the day: Eat your meals while standing in front of a mirror naked. The restaurant will certainly kick you out before you can overeat!

  22. Been one heck of a week. Trip to ER. Kidney stone surgery. Stent put in. Inpatient hospital stay. Acute Renal Failure. Gained 30 lbs water weight in 7 days. Trips to Urologist, Cardiologist, and Gastric Sleeve surgeon. Lost 25 lbs water weight in the last 48 hours. Thank God things seem to be looking up again.

  23. I hit 1 year on Sunday and haven't lost any weight for several months. I still have 30 lbs to go. In my head I know that losing over 100 lbs is good, but I get so mad at myself for sneaking into old habits and losing focus. It's time to kick it in gear!

  24. FINALLY seeing the difference in my weight now! Only took 7 months!
