Awesome! You should put something like "Christmas Goal" on top of it, so people don't harass you and say "Sheesh... getting the lapband for a measley 12 pounds!?!" :thankyou: Or else put up your total lost ticker too... I love seein' it!

Thanks Argon,

Thanks,

Dawn

You know... it doesn't make sense that your ticker doesn't work when you're at home... tickerfactory tickers are just URL's, and not something that's saved on your computer... I use a computer at work (right now) and at home, and my ticker shows up all the time. Hmmm... weird.

I had picked a Christmas goal before I saw this thread (picked it a couple days ago), but am gonna join in. I'm really hoping Santa can take 20 pounds from me.:grouphug:

And by then I'm gonna make it a goal to get in 3 hours of exercise a week.:)

Hi guys,

I am reporting how I am doing on my goal (see the ticker...) and wondering if this is the place to ask about this. I am dizzy... has anyone else felt this way? I am wondering if my blood pressure is low. I was going to get a fill in two weeks and then I thought... no I am doing okay with no problems so I won't muck around with it yet. But, this week I notice that I am full really quickly (i.e. 1/2 an English muffin is too much today).

Anyone have any ideas about the dizziness?? I would love to hear your thoughts!!!

I would ask this in a new thread, OR maybe even in the 'general' area, so anyone (not just canadians) sees it and answers.

I get dizzy too, every now and then. Why not go get your BP checked, even at one of those drugstore BP machines?

Are you losing consistantly every week, or have you lplateaued?

(or even do a search for "dizzy", and you'll find probably 100 people who asked the same thing! :rolleyes: )

Gosh, I finally got the extra 5 pounds of McFlurry fat off I put on before my fill. So now I'm back to 277. But alas, all the craft and bake sales of Christmas. I've been realy good, no going crazy, but goodies everywhere!!! Think I better add more extra-cirricular activity:eyebrows: .

I too broke down at the pressure of the bake sale... we had one at work to raise money for the 'social committee". 2 separate days, I bought: Peanut Butter fudge, and a little plate with a piece of peanut butter marshmallow square, homemade Reese's PB cup, a brownie, and a shortbread cookie. Someone slap my hand!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
