December 3rd Check In



Recommended Posts

Hey August All Stars! Let's keep the updates going! It is great to see how everyone is doing and kind of gives me a gauge as to whether I am on track or not.

This week was flat for me - no loss. It was funny though because everyone seemed to start noticing my weight loss this week - people I work with, parents of my children's friends, people at church. Everyone is asking me about it... maybe I lost some inches this week.

I finally had to break down and buy some new pants. All of mine, even the ones that were tight at the beginning are hanging off of me. I could still wear them with a belt or safety pin but decided to treat myself. Fashion Bug had a huge after Thanksgiving sale so I bought some nice yoga style pants that have an elastic waist but still will look decent enough with a nice shirt to wear to work.

I hope everyone had a great week! Here's to meeting our Christmas Challenges!! :)

Checking in!

I got out of the hospital Tuesday - yay! Hoping I stay out! Home with the feeding tube but hey, home none the less!!

Down 5.8 lbs since last weigh in a few weeks ago. Glad to still be losing with everything that has been going on. I'm more than half way to goal since surgery and nearly 80 lbs lost total since March. Ready to feel better.

Hello. I am down 2 pounds this week. I've been super busy- unexpected company. I haven't had a 2 pound loss in one week in forever....

maybe they should pop in more often..the stress appears to be helpful.

This week was flat for me too... no loss. I haven't been exercising like I should either. I'm going to step up my Protein and my exercise this week. Looking forward to posting a good number next Saturday. I'm glad everyone had a good week and that Libbe is home :)

Love y'all!

I keep forgetting to check in here! I lost two pounds this week after a stall for a week. I only have one more pound and I will have lost 50! I have 50 left to go, so I am half way to goal and it will be 4 months for me on the 8th. I see that most of us are around the same as far as weight lost so far goes. I am glad to see that. I stall every other week and when I do loose, its a pound or two. Happy to see this seems to be the norm. I want to see a big drop again soon but I wont hold my breath. As long as I am still loosing, I am happy with that. See you next week!

I agree Forensikchick - I'm glad to see that everyone is about the same. That gives me hope that we'll soon be like the others that had earlier surgery and are in the 80-90 lb weight loss category. I have similar stats to you - I have lost just under 50 lbs and I have 50 to go & my surgery was on August 15th. Hoping we all have a great month and meet our goals!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
