ME! I ate a Lyle bite of everything, finished up with 2oz of turkey w/ gravy and LOST 1lb! Best of all I felt great after eating while everyone else looked miserably stuffed. I can honestly say I don't miss that! I was a little bad and did partake in the family tradition of crown shots but I only had two, diluted with Water. All in all it was a very successful night!

Thanksgiving morning I was 161. Today I was 160. I absolutely LOVE not having that grossly stuff feeling anymore!!!! When everybody else is sitting around moaning and groaning about eating too much, I feel nothing but very comfortably satisfied!!!!

I lost 2 pounds. I weighed this morning and then tonight and I weigh the same. So fingers crossed I lost more today. Fells so good to lose during the holidays when everyone else is gaining. I am leaving for NYC in a month and hoping I will down my first 50 pounds. Down 43 so far.

How in the world can you tell if you lost or not? Your weight can shift daily.

I weigh every Sunday to see if I lost, but went early today as I was anxious about Thanksgiving and as long as it's the same tomorrow, I'm down 3 this week, woohoo! Passed the 60lb mark and 1lb from being out of the 200s!

I weigh myself twice daily. It's important for me to SEE how my daily eating habits affect my weight loss. Not for everyone, but it works for me. I'm not much of a food tracker. I have always had a hard time tracking anything.

I also weigh myself 2x every day and I tracked everything I put in my mouth up until I was 3/4 of the way to goal...then dr wanted me to becom less dependent on tracking....but I read that people who track their calories when losing are twice as likely to succeed that those who don't. I am not saying you won't be successful.... I just wanted to put it out there for those who are struggling.

Believe me, I wish I was a tracker, I am just not hard wired like that. For example I have prob only tracked 3-5 mens cycles in my life (I'm 30). I don't know y but it is the hardest thing for me to remember. It's been an issue all my life, my mother is a public health nurse who tracks everything and has always tried to get me to track to no avail. Now that I am SAT with two year old twins tracking is just way beyond my scattered mom brain and lifestyle. I hope to one day be a tracker, it would prob help in many areas of my life...

I use my fitness pal to track. I do better w it during the week. The weekends I seem to forget. I use it mostly just to see how many calories something is.

      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!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
