Count me in, this is so out of this world, God willing I will be at goal by Sep 5th. Not only my weight goal but I will be getting ready for my first ever 5K in NY. Such exiting times for me, I never thought I would be training for a 5K.

We have almost the same stats!

I missed your post the other day but saw it as I was going to post today. This has been a rough week and has made me realize the food demons are alive and kicking and I am really going to have to fight them. Yesterday was probably the worst eating day I have had since having surgery. I was going to skip posting today but realized that's what the old me would have done, the old "if it's not written down, it didn't happen or it's not true." The new me is going to own this gain, document it and move forward. I need to look at what caused the demons to come out of hiding and what I am going to do to fight them. Yesterday, I had a bad day of eating while at a training and once I got home, even though I felt like crap, I continued eating. No purpose, not hungry and even felt somewhat sick. I will do some soul searching and move on. My word for the upcoming week will be refocus.

Weight has been coming off a bit faster this week... don't know why but I will take it. Only 7.8 to go for labor day goal and 11.8 to my final goal of 155. I am just 6 months (and 2 days) past my surgery date - NEVER thought I would be this close this fast! Wow! tea.gif

Yahoo! I'm slightly ahead of my goal of 2 lbs. per week! I'm at 193.7 today. I'll be checking in each Friday. I weigh every day, but I only log on Fridays to keep myself sane. Just 3.6 lbs. to my first mini goal: A weight that starts with 18. Last time I saw that it was the year 2000, and I got there with hypnosis. I made it down to about 185 or so.

Oh and in interest of full disclosure -- I am actually 179 today because I had plastic surgery (Water retention) -- but my last weigh in before surgery was the weight posted, so I"m going with that weight. And I know that my goal is not huge, but it's doable for me considering my body just doesn't want to lose very much right now. :)

I did not meet my July 4th goal. I missed it by three pounds. We went on vacation and I had fun. I didn't gain, but I didn't lose either. I stayed at 178 the entire time. I am actually pretty impressed with that considering I didn't count a calorie or carb the entire time on vacation. I love these challenges to get me back into the game!!!

      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.
