Gone for Good Club - May 2006



Recommended Posts

LMAO, Mo...

Me too...soo much Water...so little time. I swear I hear voices beckoning me to the toilet.

Oh MO...the toilet has a name too..

Here are my pet names:

My scale: "Diablo "

has double meaning

1. Diablo means devil in Spanish

2. Diablo also means, "Oh wow, dayuuum!"

My tape measure: "Main Squeeze"

My toilet: "Hello Moto"

Lmao

Greetings folks!

Just checking in to prove that I still live :grouphug:

Things are moving along on the weight loss adventure. I am only a couple of pounds away from losing the office title (self appointed) of "Fat Bastard".

I am actually starting to feel some benefit of the weight loss (finally) and I almost feel ready to...exercise!

I won't be taking part in the competition, but I'll be cheering everyone on and standing by with the sacred tuna to provide an adequate fish slap for anyone who deserves it (and you be careful Ms Captain Crunch - the fish IS on standby).

Dawg's words of wisdom for May:

"Life is a journey, start enjoying the trip before you reach the destination.".

For a while there mine was called "ooh noo.... God help me..." but then I gave up beer and fast food.

Julie-NYC's Gone for Good Club Spring Challenge

Hi all, I'm new to the band and new to the group. This sounds like fun! I was banded on 4/10 by Dr. Fielding at NYU. I'm down 18 lbs and looking to make the most of my first 6 months. I can't think of a better way than through this challenge!

Take care, Julie-NYC

LMAO! I need the diaper too TellyMelly!

I'm in school, struggling to drink my 6 bottles of Water (I have the 100 lb excess too P'Nut) so every 30 min or so, I have to leave class to run to the restroom.

Thank God I sit on the next to last row, but one of my friends sits on the back row and has decided that he needs to set up a toll booth for all the times I run to the bathroom. lol.

:P Kristin

    I just wanted to say thank you! for this Spring Challenge....it is changing my life! My diabetes is SO under control that my numbers are too low! I don't need to take the 2nd additional medicine before my meals since starting the challenge (I cheated and started a day early) :P

    It honestly is nothing short of amazing - in 3 days I have lost 6 lbs and my blood sugar is so low it's almost scary! This is the first time in my LIFE that I have lost more than 2 lbs in a week.

    Just had to share! Big shout out to P'Nut! :clap2: for the Awesome Challenge!

    (had to pick this picture - the bloated belly is from too much water!) :brick:

    Okie Dokie folks.

    I have a SOSV (Sort Of scale Victory) to share.

    I've been described on here by some (after giving advice) as "some morbidly obese unbanded person".

    Well. As of today they can now describe me as "some overweight, but no longer clinically obese, person".

    Yep! my BMI has now hit 29.8 which is below the boundry for class 1 obesity. I am now merely... overweight!

    Can I get a whoop whoop??? :P

        Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

          I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

          That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      • BeanitoDiego

        I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
        I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
        Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

        Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

        Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
