2006 Christmas Wish List



Recommended Posts

Alright, maybe it is a bit early, but I figured there's no harm in setting an early wish!

I've seen a few folks talking about what they want to be "at" by christmas. Either sizes in clothes or a certain weight.

Well I figured - I will set my goal of what I WISH for Christmas and see if anyone else wants to join me in making that wish come true.

Sort of a commitment thread, sort of a challenge and sort of a "support" thingy.

--------------------------------------------------

Dawg's Christmas Wish:

I Wish I was 204 pounds by Christmas. This will make my total loss (since joining LBT) of 103 pounds, and place me in the "normal" BMI for my height.

it needs to be restarted though because my leaving threw a wrench in keeping the goal and weigh in page up to date.

My christmas goal is 230. I am currently 296.

I wondering if I should lower my goal for Christmas? Since having surgery, I am down to 281, my Christmas goal is 275. I think I will make that by middle/end of Sept. What would be a reasonable goal? 260? 250?

I have no clue how fast/slow this weight is gonna come off.

I think I am going in to the "just got banded" freak out stage.

Scared/hopeful/nervous-- you know, the old "oh dear sweet God, is this thing really gonna help me" phase

I'll jump in....

My Christmas wish (Hanukkah and Kwanzaa too!) is to be 400lbs. That would mean I need to lose 103lbs since 12/06 , or 67 lbs from today.

I think its a lofty goal, but I don't mind a challenge.

I wish to be at my final goal weight (between 189-199) and in size 34 pants. I'm at 217 now, so I bettre step up the exercise... it gets harder to lose at this point, I can tel ya!

I want to be in 34 waist pants, because then when folks ask me how much I lost from my waistline, I can say happily... 2 feet.:)

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
