Posted: Mon Nov 18, 2002 5:54 am Post subject: I named my weight loss Obie City, and you....?

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

When I belonged to Weight Watchers, some of us decided to "name" our weight loss because it's always the weight of another person, from babies weighing a few pounds to toddlers, teens, and adults weighing all kinds of pounds. Some "losers" referred to it as a cyber baby, but everyone thought up a clever name.

I decided on Obie City. After I'm banded, I will start adding weight to Obie City until he's a big feller, ready to go out in the world to fend for himself. Or maybe we could send them all to a special place called Fat City. One condition: he can't come back. He can email and he can call, but he can't come back.

Some other names could be: Ima Gedden Thinner, Bustine Out, Thurgood

Tobie Lighter, or Hips Ahoy. Well, you get the idea. Thought it might be fun to watch each others' little critters grow and grow, the bigger the better. What do you think?

I read this on another forum and thought it was hilarious. Kind of reminded me of this thread and something Lisa/ Delarla said about somebody gaining our weight that we have lost. Otherwise this was a DEAD website. BORING, I left a couple of posts for people aiming them towards this sight. It was basically a few posts from a few people researching the band or on their way for a band and didn't seem to know much about it. Not very active AT ALL. Teresa

Boy, I am late naming my baby. Now at 46 lbs it must be about what 4 years old? LOL. Hopefully I at least remembered to potty train it. Teresa

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
