This will be my first challenge ever! And one of the few times posting on the site... I've always been a lurker, just getting encouragement and ideas, never joining in... But, I had surgery 12/26/11, and although I've gotten so far, I'm just not satisfied. I've been holding the same weight for nearly 3 months now, and I'm happy with my size, except yesterday I weighed in and gained 3LBS!!!

Pre DOS Weight: 211,

Holding weight: 146-147

CW: 150

I went from a size tight 14, loose 16 to now wearing a 4/6... I am happy with my clothing size (although I still have a hard time realizing what I really am). But 3 lbs really terrified me. I know that I've fallen off the bandwagon with soo many things, and some bad habits are totally creeping back in. So, this challenge has perfect timing and is great for me to gain some accountability, and in addition to the weight, I plan to give my self a non-scale goal each week. First, getting in my Water like I am supposed to.

I don't want to get sickly skinny looking, but I would like to lose enough to have a cushion and not risk freaking out like I did yesterday when I saw the scale. I haven't even been reading the site like I used to, so hopefully this keeps me in tune

NY Goal: 135.

Great idea...

HW : 11/01/12. 300 lbs

DOS : 11/14/12. 297 lbs

12/01/12. 284 lbs

New years...250#

I am new and shy to this site..but I have to say anyone who goes through with this surgery is a winner. Don't get discouraged, from what I have read everyone is on the right track...don't beat yourself up over things..remember we did this to live longer and enjoy life....so remember to smile at yourself and keep chugging...

I think I'm going to change my goal weight to 165.0! I need to keep myself on my toes during the upcoming holiday temptations! I still think it is doable. I'm on vacation all week really looking forward to getting in some nice walk/jogs outside in the beautiful fall Texas weather! I'm also trying out a crossfit class both Monday and Wednesday. Wish me luck! Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

      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!!

      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
