Be My Valentine Challenge



Recommended Posts

Checking in today at 149, down 4 lbs from last week.

I had a fill on Friday that ended up WAYYY too tight. Let me tell you, up all night choking on your own spit is not fun! My Dr. fixed it on Monday, but I'm still down 4 lbs so that's at least something. Hope to still hit my goal of 145 ish for the month and my ultimate goal of 138 in March.

Keep on keeping on!

I failed to check in last week. That was probably a sub conscious decision because I know I was not good. Oh well today i weighed in at 170 so 1 pound down from the beginning of the challenge. Oh well at least it was a loss and not a gain. I will try to do better this week. I really want to get this last 20 pounds off, but I know that it gets harder the smaller you get. I will keep on chipping away 1 pound at a time!

I have been MIA for a couple of weeks, its been crazy busy but here are my stats;

Feb 1 - 242

Feb 8 - 241

Feb 15- 237.6

Hope to exceed my goal this month. Fingers crossed. As far as bad habits go, i still put food on my plate like I did pre-banding knowing fully well there is no way I can finish it. Seriously need to work on that.

Laura down 1 lb - very discouraged. Had the stomach flu Sunday, and gained a lb. after not eating for two days. I weighed myself Sunday morning, then got sick, and weighed again this am. Can anyone please explain this?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
