Hey Turner, welcome to the road! This is the best message board, everyone is so friendly and even when you are having a bummer day they will pick you up and help you out. We are all going through this together so it helps to have a place to talk it out. I am a baby at the band compared to you. I was banded April 9th. I have lost 30 lbs but wish I would lose so much more. I am not in twoterville yet, but I am SOOOOO close. I can taste it!!! LOL not a good pun. I also worry about getting there because I will feel so terrible when I creep back to the 3s.

Welcome, and I hope we can help in your efforts to lose what was so easy to get!

KT

Well, since this is a monthly challenge, I went to the Dr's on the last day of the month to weigh in. I did this because I was sure I'd reached Twoterville. I weighed in at 136.3 kilograms which is 300 pounds exactly. I was quite disappointed and wanted to be 299.9 or something. I weighed once more but it came up the same! The nurse couldn't understand why I was disappointed and I didn't bother explaining. If only I hadn't had that cup of coffee beforehand! I decided to find it funny rather than disappointing. I have done well this month and lost a lot of weight. I'll have something to look forward to this week anyway.

Also, I joined a gym yesterday. I really think this thread has helped me a lot so far. I know I should be picking a goal for this month but I want to record this first. We are weight twins at the moment Jonathan, though I wouldn't dare compete with a male.

Well, after a month full of travel and little else I ended up 2 lbs up from the last weigh in but I can live with that. Would love to hit the mid-century weight mark though this month. I haven't had a fill in probably 4 months so I'm getting one on the 12th. Hopefully it can help with this month's goal.

Hey everyone I am so glad I found this group. So I had my surgery on July 18th and have lost a total of 33 pounds to date. I am trying to lose another 18 pounds to be under 300 by October. My birthday is in November and I'd like to be down to 275 by then. I don't know if that is an unreasonable goal, but I sure hope it isn't and I am going to do every thing I can to get there. I have had a set back with exercising as I over did my activity too soon after surgery and popped a deep stitch that worked its way to the surface and now I have a hole in my stomach about an inch deep. I have been to the doctor and he is monitoring it and says it is healing nicely. It was about the size of a nickel but now about down to a pea. I have to be carefully not to rip it any larger. It was pretty painful as the bare nerves were exposed, but it is getting better as it shrinks. So all I can really do for now is walk. I was doing Water aerobics and I can't wait to get back to that.

Well I can't wait to get to know all of you and share this journey. Good luck to everyone and I will be joining you in the September challenge.

      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!!
