Gone for Good Club - July 2006



Recommended Posts

Amy, did you see my post? I've lost it. LOL I posted it somewhere, oh well, it's getting close to surgery and my mind is wondering. I was asking you would it be okay even it the July wasn't a regular GFG contest could I still donate a 25.00 gift certificate to the biggest loser? If not just let me know. I just wanted to do it because I'm getting banded Monday with you and wanted to really get into things. Just let me know.

Sherri

See ya in a couple of days!!!!!!!!

I am having just the worst time with LBT tonight. It keeps kicking me out! Congrats to all the loosers on here...wish I was one of them this week. I don' t get a visit from Aunt Flo anymore (yea) but I think I still cycle. I had a terrible week, had a fight with Hershey's and lost!!! I did join a gym this week tho and have gone 2 times already. I cycled there too, but I think maybe that it was more productive. I plan on going back tomorrow and I am getting my first fill tomorrow. I sooo hope that will help with my fights with Hershey... maybe I'll start to win that one too. At least once in a while!!

Mistjin, Way to go on joining a gym!!! You will find that with increased workouts and staying away from the evil chocolate that your body really starts to crave it less and less. There has been ice cream sitting in my freezer forever now, and honestly, I do not even like the looks of it. Pnut once told me that her tastes have changed since she has been losing. I think the same is happening to me.

Tess, congratz on the loss! So glad you are happy with it and feeling better. :grouphug:

Sherri, I think that is a really nice gesture. One thing I would say though is that some have just taken a break from LBT and are not checking in because the challenge is not going on. I would not want anyone to feel left out because of that. Lets wait for the challenge, and you sticky that money somewhere where you can see it to remind yourself for your weight loss. And GREAT job on that 5 pounds! That preop diet is working girl!!! Surgery is getting close! I can't wait to meet you in Mexico!

I have not lost anything. I am still at 189, but I haven't gained either. I have cut down on the carbs and have started going back to the gym this week. I feel good about next week. I am hoping that my changes will show on the scale and in my clothing.

Ok stats are updated as of now. If you posted before this please take a look back on the first page and see your name there. If there is someone I missed, or if there is a correction to be made, please let me know ASAP.

Lot of maintainers today. And some gainers. I am sorry to you all for the frustration you are feeling. I know how it feels. We all do. So lets pull ourselves up by our bootstraps and get back on the wagon. Lets make next week a killer one!! Tons of Water, work out till you just can't move no more, and stay away from that sugar!!! We can do this! Or I will tell Pnut he needs to get dawg in here and he'll start whackin people with fish.

Easy! Just give us your stats, tell us a little about yourself, and commit to yourself that you will try to drink as much Water as possible, workout as often as possible, and eat no sugar. And above all else, that you will be true to yourself and your weight loss journey. :) I will get you added to the boards, and we will be really happy to have you aboard!!

I have made a decision. I am not going to be here tomorrow. this was tough, but I have to push away officially tonight because of all the stuff i need to get done. My husband, bless his heart, tried to help. He cleaned the house, did a great job, but then did all the laundry, and made dinner. Problem is he left a ton of dishes in the sink and a messy kitchen, and didn't fold any of the laundry. :) He tried, but now I mus clean up his cleaning up. I also still have not packed, and i have to go out tomorrow and stop the mail, buy a carryon, get cash out of the bank and into travellers checks, and make sure that everything is in order. We plan on getting to the airport at about 2pm, but now i am thinking i want to be there at 1:30. Our flight leaves at 4:40. Which means boarding at 4, and the lines for security are always insane at Tampa. Sucky.

I really hope that you guys understand. I will be on and off tonight, but tomorrow i am officially off. Any weigh ins that come in tomorrow will have to be added to next week. But please post them so everyone can see.

Pray for me, my surgery is on the 10th. I will be thinking of you all, knowing that you all did this, and I can too. Mysherrijo and i are getting banded the same day, by the same doc, so pray for her too. It will be good to have a GFG'er there at the guest house!

I love you all. I will be keeping in contact with pnut, via cell phone, and you will all be updated.

Bye! :wave:

FunnyDunnies, good luck Monday. I'll be sending good thoughts your way.

I joined the exercise challenge, since I hadn't been exercising with the Gone for Good Club the past two months. It is kicking up my weight loss.

I lost 2 lbs in the past week.:clap2:

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.
