Mom, have I been put on restriction?? I'm no longer on the list!

Tami (down 2 this week)

For the life of me I keep losing you! For some reason you disapeared on me. If you have your weekly weight loss please send it to me again or I can start with your total. I'm sorry. Don't know what happened.

Ok I just checked and your are on my list but just your total. So I'm not sure what happened.

:peep: MOM, sorry for the confusion. I started at 222 pounds on October the 8th/9th. Week #1 after that was 220 (-2), week#2 was 218 (-2), week #3 was 217.5 (-0.5), week #4 was 218 (+0.5), and Monday, start of week #5 was 213 (-5.) Total weight lost since challenge started is 9lbs. Best of all, I had a NSV today...I sat in a lawn chair and didn't walk off with it stuck to my hiney when I got up. I stood up and it stayed on the ground! Silly how these things mean so much. :biggrin1:

Hello all, tomorrow is my first fill. That is if the doc will do it. someone told me that the doc doesn't fill if the patient is losing, considering hunger and a few other things. so who knows. anyone having trouble with dehydration. I am and I now have a bladder infection. I just don't seems to remember to drink. I think I need to tell my students to remind me.

Mom. -3 for this week. thanks.

hi all, today I went in for my first fill... I didn't get it, they said since I have been loosing weight I don't need the band as a tool yet. I really am glad after hearing all the stuff that can happen but I am sure I will need it someday.. I go back in 4 weeks. Interesting don't you think. by the way I fixed my ticker thing and this program went back and put it on those blank replies that I did last night trying to figure it out. I bet if I erased my signature the old ones would erase too... weird.

I have a hard time drinking regular Water, blah, so I drink flavored water. My favorite is Powerade Option, it has 40 calories for 32 ounces, and comes in a few different flavors. I like grape the best, also strawberry. I take 2 to work everyday and get 64 ounces of water in by 3:30 anything after is a bonus. Some may think it's a waste of calories but I'm glad to get all my water in and my doc says it's fine. Also crystal light has some good flavors too with less calories.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
