4th of July - WHAT WILL YOU WEIGH???



Recommended Posts

I can't believe it!!! I FRICKIN' MADE MY GOAL!!!! My surgery was 1/29/11 and I have lost 75 lbs since I took the fateful step and weighed myself on 1/15/11. I desparately wanted to believe that I could do it but after failing at losing weight my whole life, I wasn't sure. At this point, I'm still not sure but now feel like I can do it. I believe this surgery has saved my life and am so grateful from the support I have had along the way. Bring on that Labor Day Challenge and I am going for ONEDERLAND!!!:D

I hit 250 yesterday! I'm so happy. If I can hit 249 before the 4th that would be cool. I told myself if I hit 250 for the July 4th challenge, I was going BIG for the Labor Day Challenge! I started this Challenge at 270, so I lost 20lbs, I think I may go for 30lbs the next challenge! Congrats everyone! :)

Hit 200 today on the nose! Goal was to be UNDER 200 , so hopefully I'll check in tomorrow with stinking .1 loss! Either way, this is a HUGE milestone for me b/c this marks 100 lb total loss since I started this journey! It is the craziest feeling in the world to think I'm going to be out of the 300's and 200's forever! !

I'll check in tomorrow or Monday when I am officially in onederland! :)

Sw 235, Cw 179, goal 176, lbs to goal 3!

Almost certainly not making this goal, but damn close! :)

So happy, I am now officially just 1 stone overweight, so I've become one of those people I have envied for so long, the ones who sigh and say "well I could do with losing a few pounds!" wooooo!

Yep, I made my goal of being down by 50 pounds!! I know the weight loss is slowing down now, but I'm excited--even if I never lose another pound, I'm healthier, happier, and wearing REGULAR SIZE CLOTHES that I bought at OLD NAVY--and not the XXL's, either, but XL shirt and size 20 pants--this is down from a 3X shirt and tight size 26's to start. I'm not done, either... slow is fine!!

I'm anxious to start the next challenge, which I am already planning to participate in from the beginning for more accountability. GO Y'ALL--good luck to everyone and congratulations to those who made or surpassed their challenge goals!! :D

I'm going camping tomorrow so I'll give my results today. I had wanted to lose 8 lbs and I lost 5. I'm satisfied with that for now. I know I'm gaining muscle mass -- my upper body is in the best shape that I can remember. A lot of that is just due to good old fashioned yard work! The sleeve helped me to get to the healthiest place I've been to in 30 years. I'm very happy with my results.

      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!!
