Nothing for me this week, :), but I am also 3 pounds from the lowest I have been in 16 years so I am not complaining.

Down 1 this week to 165. I have been up and down from 164-166, so I guess I need to move my a$$ this week. It's really starting to slow down now, but what the heck do I have to complain about? 66 lbs isn't too shabby LOL

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Did you gain or lose 7.5 the first week of the challenge? If that's supposed to be a 7.5lb loss then there needs to be a minus sign in front of the 7.5 :unsure:

Up a half pound on my scale.. down a half on my work scale LOL.. for the purpose of this challenge I will go by my scale :unsure: I am definitely in bandster hell right now plus its that Water retaining time of the month so I won't get upset about my gain (or tiny loss). Hopefully my return to the gym (first time this am since surgery) and my (fingers crossed) fill on Thursday will result in some scale movement in the right direction next week.

Should be fine--formula in cell was deleted

That is happening alot. To everyone, just a reminder, just enter your weight with a plus or minus to indicate gain or loss. Do not enter anything in the cells that are not highlighted in yellow--ie, you do not have to enter total weight loss or ending weight. Once you enter your weight, those will be calculated automatically!

Who knew that Bandster Hell would be so hard. I hear and see stories on this website so often, thinking that is not going to happen to me. Up and down the same 3 lbs since I started eating Solid foods. Just got my 1st fill yesterday, so now I have 3 cc's in a 10cc band. I have a little more restriction but not much. Next fill not for another 5 weeks, Hope I can still accomplish my goal!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
