September Was Your Progress?



Recommended Posts

Okay. so here is the wildest thing. I went to my doctor on October 25 (4 weeks post op) had not lost any weight in 2 weeks. Sooooo disappointed. Went home and continued to walk (2 miles with 5 intervals of slooooow jogging) and watch Water and Protein. This Monday, November 5th, I weighed before working out (now working out about 1 hour before work 30 mins cardio and 20 minutes weights) was down from 313 to 296! I didn't believe it. Got off scales and got back on same results. I asked if scale was right and lady said they weighed her right, maybe even a little heavy. Not sure what happened but am going with it. Sleeved 9/24 and now down total of 49lbs, 27 lbs since surgery. Sooooo happy but still don't know what the heck happened. lol

Congratulations!! You have made it to "TWOTERVILLE"

Sleeved 9/11 starting weight 272.8. Current weight 249.2. I've been fluctuating between 23lbs and 24lbs lost for the past two weeks. I've been struggling to stay positive until I came across this forum. What I've noticed is that we're all different and will lose at different paces. I'm coping much better.

After a 2 week stall I lost 1.5 lbs and now three days later I've gained 3. No reason for that to have happened. Go figure. That's an example of why you shouldn't weigh every day or obsess over numbers.

Lol I do it every morning I don't get to upset. I'm trying to see if there's a pattern to my weight loss :)

Mine is just nuts. I have been recording but lately there seems to be an anti-pattern. I weighed this morning and those same 3 lbs gained are sticking. I did try to throw things off yesterday by upping my calories from 500 to 800 but that wasn't the magic trick. I'm not crying or throwing things, but I wonder what's up. Could be that I haven't had but two poos in 6 weeks.

I'm just starting my 7th week, so maybe there are somewhat predictable stalls like the 2 week stall, we just haven't all tracked the dates. Someone should work up a spreadsheet!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
