Be My Valentine Challenge



Recommended Posts

Agnes checking in at 172 this morning. I am not the doing so hot this month. I started this thing at 171 and here I am one week away from the finish of the challenge up a pound. Well I have been awful with my eating this month, so it is no surprize, but the last couple of days I have been getting myself back on track so I will try my best to end the thing with at least being down a pound and not up. I hope everyone else is doing better than me. Well I will see yall at the finish line!!

I dont remember where my weight was the last time I checked in because I havent weighed since then either but today I am at 266. I think I only lost 2 or 4 lbs this month and that pisses me off!! I have discovered that I have lost 5 inches on my waist since January though so I guess I shouldnt be to mad. Oh well a fill appt on Tuesday so hopefully I will hit the sweet spot this time. Im also going to start counseling and see if that doesnt heltp me with my issues....

Well I got back in time to update the schedule but after staying up until 3AM for three nights in a row playing music and drinking Irish Whiskey I ended up taking a nap and slept all afternoon. I promise to get it updated by this weekend. The good news is that even though I drank a lot calories over the weekend I didn't snack at all so I still ended up loosing 1/2 pound for the weekend.

Be sure to join up for next months March Pre-Spring Challenge

Agnes here...

Last check in for this challenge. Weighing in today at 168. I didnt meet my goal of 165 but I sure did redeem myself this week and even though I didnt meet my monthly goal I still lost so I am moving in the right direction. I started out rough this month but think I have got myself on the right track now. I am soooo ready for the March challenge.

As for my personal goal, I got that FAFSA filled out for my daughters college and we have applied for tons of scholarships so I can check that one off as complete. I have somewhat gotten my snacking under control this last week also.

Larry as usual thank you so much for managing these challenges. They really do keep me motivated!

Final weigh in at 235, made my goal but just barely. It is starting to get warm so I need to clean up my bike and get ready for spring, only problem is that they are predicting snow this weekend. Come on spring!!!!

Be sure to join in on the March Pre-Spring Challenge.

Final check in at 205! I aimed a little high this month, so I'm not surprised I didn't meet my goal of 200. I still lost 10 pounds so I'm extremely, extremely happy with that!

I lost 3.5 lbs this past week, bringing my grand total for the month of 7- no fills yet, just banded on 1/26- I had hoped for more, but that's okay. I set my sights a little more realistically for March, and I get my first fill on Monday, so hopefully that will up the lbs lost!! I averaged 1.75 lbs a week, which I hope to increase next month. I've added in exercise this past week, so that will help!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
