Where are my girls at? I know I've been struggling for a long, long time but finally the fill has done me some good. That and the exercise that I've been doing again. I guess I may have to up my 'To Go' since I'm half way there in just a week...lol Not going to push it though. The goal is to be down 15 more my Thanksgiving. That will put me at my half way point and lower than my extended family has seen me for a very very long time.

Keep it up ladies! (and gents) You're all kicking a## and not taking any prisoners.

:peace:

Hello all,

As of Thursday, I will be BACK ON PLAN!!!

In the meantime.... no, I mustn't do that anymore.

Hope our October folks are doing well...

Let's kick some fat A**

I was wondering where you were. We need you here because I love looking at your gobsmacking ticker.

Don't worry Rain, I'm sure most of us have at least a day or two a month where we turn into pacman.

Carol, I'm picturing you meeting all your relatives at Thanksgiving. There will be whispers "your face looks thinner" comments and hearty congratulations.

I've had two 'your face looks thinner' comments this week. Of course, instead of being happy I think, "What about my arse?"

LilMissBand-Aid - it's very impressive that you've lost all that weight pre-surgery. It's a great way to speed up your way to goal.

I have been going to the gym lately that I thought I'd give myself a night off last night - no walk or anything. I was very surprised to find that I couldn't sleep a wink.

Thanks insub!! However, I have been losing and gaining the last 20 for probably a year now... =( No problem, with surgery looming close, it's time to really jump back on. No better way to do it than here.

Well, I made my goal for this month!! A littlle early and I am glad. I usually tend to make a big drop a week before Woman's Day, then I can gain 5 in a few days and that will stay with me for at least a week. :faint:

Keep up the good work everyone!! :clap2:

Congrats! Outstanding result for the month (so far).

I can relate to the TOM thing. The scales show I'm up but I know I can't be really.

It's so hard to be patient waiting for a loss. Sometimes I wish I could have fills far more often because I always lose straight afterwards.

I'm not super-strict with myself. I give myself a break sometimes. I think I'd snap if I didn't.

</p> <p> </p> <p>Oh, yeah - I know what you mean. I've been fighting some cravings because of TOM already, but it's not too bad... yet. <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/ponder.gif" border="0" alt="" title="rolleyes" smilieid="40" class="inlineimg" /> I just try to get through it without too much damage. I know it will be so much easier after I'm banded and well filled so I can at least keep my portions in check. I don't have too much of a problem with ice-creams and such - I'm more of a "salty" chick.</p>

PS, thanks for the congrats. Sorry, the edit comes out all jumbled... lol.

      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.
