Scales are bullshit. Want to throw mine out the window. Southbeach all week, walked 3x. Gained .8 lbs. Yay. No wonder I need #wls #vent

5 weeks out down 30lbs since surgery, and 45 total! :-)

This could be the week I enter ONEderland!!!!

1 week follow up with my surgeon this morning! I'm down 24.5 pounds!!!

Starting my 2 week pre op diet tomorrow. A lil scared, but mostly excited to get started on my journey!

Question about exercising? This is my second week back at the gym and I feel my stomach hurting. LIke a cut when you pour water on it. Is this normal anyone else feel the same?

Well, I believe I may have it my first stall. Haven't loss any weight in 3 weeks and acutally gained a pound last week. Still holding on to it to. This is an awful feeling. So scared because I have so much more to go and I fear this may be the end of the fantasy phase. Terrified!!

Two weeks completed and starting my third week. This week I started running! For years I have just walked and a little voice said, "Run"...and my journey began. Who knew?

on the Biggest Loser they lose 70 pounds in 3 weeks. It took me 3 months.

6.9 pounds to goal... these last 10 are the hardest ever! I am low carbin it this week. Lots of water and protein to try to jump start this!

I'm doing better. I'm feeling good enough to start being grouchy. hahaha. I'm have a Picc line for intravenous antibiotics for the next 2 weeks. Yuck. BUT I have lost 30 pounds. sigh. hahahaha

I hope you guys are doing good! One week and you are gonna love it!

Hi MeMeMee - How are you doing this week? I'm having trouble getting all of my protein in. I can't go to bed until like 10pm because I have to stay up and drink some Unjury Chicken soup broth for the rest of my protein for today. Vitamins are sucking too. I'm only getting in 3 of the 5 I'm supposed to be taking. Let me know how you are doing so I don't feel so friggin alone.

I want to meet Hector! Sally is about 9 weeks old now a real spitfire she's a Manx? Tailless. No one claimed her so much to my husband's horror we now have 5 cats!

Well by the end of last week I lost those two pounds. I think I may stall or lose slow over the nest couple of weeks before my secret weapon arrives. Also, my PCP doc is having me come in for some testing. I may have low T. If so she may prescribe a topical treatment. That will hyper-accelerate fat loss but preserve all of my lbm. I'll wait on that because I don't really want 240lb of lean mass.

I hit my three-week stall. Actually gained two pounds. Not even discouraged. I may lose those by weeks end. No pun intended but I'm looking at the big picture. In time I'll be right where I need to be.

I'm okay... tired!! Been working too many extra hours at work for the last 3 weeks... I need to go eat!!!

Oh I do! Do you know why they make this 6 week liquids

Did ya bust through your stall? I figure if there ever is a stall revert to a full liquid diet for a couple of days and see if that kick-starts some more losing! Keep up turning your Wishes into Reality!!!

Hey cass! my psych eval isn't until october 18, lk a week after my 5 month appt, im sure it'll be here before i knw it. after my psych appt i only have one more appt left and then i send everything in. im so excited!!!! the dctr im going to c is Janelle Coughlin, she's at Bayview. so it's like 5 minutes from my house. ashley told me about the nightmare of them not sending in your paperwork late!

1 week....just take it slow and like you said ease into...which protein shake? Iam looking for something new for after surgery..

Hi Hopeful. Well it is all starting to come fast now. Yesterday, I was shocked to realize I had one week until pre-op liquids. I have been very busy lately also. My sister had her lower leg amputated on Thursday (diabetes) and I am the only family in the area so I have been at the hospital a lot. My son may be up at Harvard for a debate tournament in Feb so maybe we can meet!

Hi Tabbi! I got my referral in April, and had surgery in August. I think you can make the process go a little faster, if you are aggressive and make all your appointments back to back. I was driving down to Ft. Carson (45 min!) twice a week in June to try to get everything done. As soon as they start putting referrals in the system, you can schedule them: wellness (2x), psych (3x), nutrition (3x)

How are you doing?

I am feeling so much better. Today is one week for me! I had my drain removed today and I have lost 5 more lbs!

I saw you post about a 3 to 5 week stall. thats me right now. freaking out... glad to hear its normal though. Can you tell me about how many calories you intake a day? I am trying to make sure I am doing everything right. : ) thanks.
