November 26th Check In :)



Recommended Posts

Ok August All Stars - How is everyone doing this week? I'm down 4 pounds from last week. I can't believe it. I've been working pretty hard this week and I love the results. Thanksgiving day was not bad for me and I'm glad I got through it under my calorie goal and ate tons of Protein. Yesterday.... well that's a different story. Every once in while I have a day where I'm just hungry all day long. I ate around 1700 calories yesterday. That's very high for me since I ususally stick to around 1000/day. I guess I'll be doing some heavy activity today to pay for that :)

Hope you all had a great week and a totally wonderful Thanksgiving. We have 3 1/2 weeks until Christmas and I know we all have goals we want to reach before then.

Love you guys!

I checked back to my last check-in and I'm down 2 lbs i the last two weeks :( The weight is just coming off soooo sloooowwwlllyyyy.

But I had a very nice NSV yesterday. I bought some pants at Coscto, which was an NSV in itself (they don't sell plus sizes!). But I didn't just need the 18's, the 16's fit. So, I decide to head back later in the day with my mom, and decided to get a pair of 14's, to use as a next set of goal pants. Brought then home and tried them on to see how far before I could get them fastened, and THEY FIT!! I WAS ABLE TO FASTEN THEM!! Without even laying down on the bed!! I fit in a size 14. What's ridiculous is that I've been wearing some of the same brand in 18's. Yeah, they are a bit loose, but I guess I need to pay more attention to how loose!

So, even though the scale is being a b***h, the inches are still coming off. Going to take measurements this weekend too.

Still in the hospital here. Guessing I haven't lost or gained. They have me on about 1000 calories in the feeding tube plus the IV fluids. Thanksgiving was a breeze, being NPO :ihih:

I'm down 58 plus pounds since I started my pre-op diet. Have only lost about 8 pounds in November. I shouldn't say only, because that's still darn good! :)

I'm down 2 pants sizes since the beginning of the month. So, instead of 26/28, I'm in a 20/22. Also, my shirts are getting way too big. I'm working on a closet purge this weekend.

Libbe, Here's hoping that you get out of that darn hospital soon! Are you at least losing weight since you're on IV food? That would be some kind of bonus, I guess.

WE ROCK!! Look how well we're doing with losing weight and being more active! I'm proud of us all! :)

Hi everyone! I am down 35 pounds since surgery and 80 pounds all together. I need to lose about 30 more to reach my goal of 130. I weighed in this morning at 161.4. I am so excited to be able to wear smaller clothes and feel good in them. This journey is so amazing, I am floating on a cloud. I am averaging about 10 lbs a month and that is just perfect for me. I feel healthy and strong!

Well, take care everyone and God Bless!

Hugs,

Shell

I am down 2.4 lbs this week to 191.8 - just 2 ounces shy of my Thanksgiving goal. I hope to get into the 180's by next week - haven't been there in about 13 years! I had a great NSV yesterday. I am a singer and do a lot of gigs every Nov/December with people that I only really see during that time of year. I sang with one of the women last night and she asked me if I had lost some weight. I told her that I had lost 50 lbs and she said that when had I arrived at the gig she didn't even recognize me. That made me feel great! :)

I lost nothing last week. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. Nothing. The past little bit I have slowed down to a snails pace. I feel much better now. I am still 47lbs down since surgery....I just hoped I wouldn't slow down so much this early in the game.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
