Okay, so today was my weekly weigh in day ....scale did NOT move. Big Surprise there (damn turtle).

This was also my once monthly measurement day. So far, since Apr I have lost 31.5 inches (total of all inches lost in chest, waist, hips, right thigh, right calf and right bicep). Most notably...10 inches of that has been from my waist and 7.5 inches from hips. Also...to Mr Yoda's dismay...6 inches from my chest!

Yet, as good as I know that is, I STILL want to see my scale move!!!! Are we sick or what?!!!

Yoda,

Congratulations on your inches lost:clap2: :clap2: That's fantastic!!! Tell Mr Yoda congratulations as well. 6 inches lost in the chest is better than 6 inches lost somewhere else !#*!$#*#$:omg:

Cloe, now you get it :)

Yoda, that's awesome!

I haven't done my measurements in so long (maybe 3 months ago) ... I never enjoyed doing measurements, since there was never very much difference at all. Maybe doing it this time around, and being such a long time since, i'll see more of a change. I'll do them on the 29th, cause that will be my 6 month anniversary!

oh yeah... again Cloe :peep:

I'm sure you'll notice a big difference in the numbers Mandi; be sure to let us know.

Also...I would just like to state Mr Yoda's stats....because I am so dang proud of him. He is not banded but has voluntarily (& gladly) altered his lifestyle (specificially his eating lifestyle!) to coincide with mine. As a result, he has lost 25 lbs and 17.5 inches since my surgery. Yay him!

:clap2: :clap2:

(oh...and don't worry....the 17.5 inches lost does not include any "key" areas!!!) *chuckles*

:) :evil: :humble:

I wish Mr. Mandi or.... Dandi would alter his eating as well. He says he will, and tries for a little while, but it ain't sticking. Apparently he's joining a gym when I do, so that should help.

I feel bad for him, cause his parents give him a hard time when they see him (worrying that he's killing himself, etc, etc), and if he hasn't lost any weight by Christmas, it's gonna happen again.

Mandi, sorry but, "holy shit" look at your ticker!!!!

Yeah, I know, that's exactly what I say every time I see it. It's still not registering. I don't see it. Some of my jeans are too big (for the first time EVER) and my neck feels less 'thick'.

Hey Yoda... you've been around more often lately... is this for good, or are you just teasing us!?

      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? 🤷‍♀️
