Road to "TWOterville"



Recommended Posts

I am on the road to Twoterville as well.

I have debated the surgeries and the issues that come along with it and I guess I am not ready to accept that I cannot beat this issue with my mind. It's all a head game....and I refuse to lose......so I guess I will be flying solo to see how I can do.

331 was my heaviest...weighed in at 321 today after about a week of dieting.

So -10lbs in the first week is not too bad I guess....21 more to go and I will weigh Two Something instead of Three something...that will feel good.

:(

Yay, everyone is getting so close :grouphug:

I was very bad yesterday and had potato salad, sigh. I however walked away from the chocolate cake :eek: Not getting on the scale for a few days, I am afraid to. But alas, today marks a fresh start and Monday will be my next fill. Did anyone else wonder if they were ever gonna get good restriction?

waterlilly...I thought "restriction" was this magical thing that I was destined to never feel!!! But, after my first fill I felt it but now I'm losing it again. I think I need another little fill.

Geez guys...having company and the holiday was ROUGH!!! I didn't do bad but I didn't do great either. Hopefully, I can get back on track. I know I won't be moving into Twoterville by the 14th (my next appointment) which is a bummer. But...I've got 13 lbs to go so I think I can do it this month.

Keep up the good work!

15lbs here.....upped my excercise dramatically in the last 2 days including weights and cardio.

Minus 16 lbs in a little over 2 weeks.......trying to avoid the first plateau until after I am in Twoterville.

Yikes everyone! I made my first HUGE mistake at dinner. My sister and I went out to a local restaurant...fried chicken strips and beer battered onion rings. I know, I know...it was a tough day, TOM and my eating schedule was all messed up today because of a busy day at work. Darn it...now I feel so guilty. UGH. I guess that's why we have to plan ahead and keep on a schedule so that we don't make dumb mistakes.

I hope everyone else had a better day!! I've got to go out of town for work for a couple days so hang in there everyone! Wish me luck...I'll be at a hotel with 5 restaurants. YIKES!!

Take care and safe travels,

Going for a fill on Monday, here's hoping I can last that long. Trying to be good. Between school and the 4th and being tired all the time because of my crazy life, I am doing the best I can, right now I really need the restriction to keep me good. I went from being a stay at home wife and step mom to being gone to school/work 12 hrs/day and on my feet most of that. It has been a big change in my life and it is just a lot all at once. I feel like I am swimming in the deep end and my doggy paddle is is starting to poop out.

I know I have under 20 pounds to go till I cross the border. Do I need to do a currency exchange?

I am fast approaching, and hopefully the liquid diet and the surgery will help kick my butt over the line. It will be so exciting to be in the 200's again. I have a friend who used to talk about how fat she was. Made me insane, cause she was in the low 200's. Maybe someday I too can piss off a 300 pound person by talking about how fat I feel in the 200's. LOL joking of course.

I have a friend that says this all the time, she flautents from 180-205 and keep saying how horrible and gross she is, I tell her that 200 is my goal weight:rolleyes: . I tell her to be thankful that she doesn't have a 160 lbs to lose to get to 200.:faint:

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
