I had to look back when I started, and it was June 19th

Starting weight 146.8lbs

Current Weight 144.0 lbs

Lost 2.8lbs

I had dropped down to 140.6 lbs and stayed there for a few days, but whenever I am mid-cycle, I start to bounce around A LOT!! Was down at 142.8 yesterday, up to 144 this morning. So that is where I am right now! Hopefully it will keep going down.

Everyone is doing so amazing, congratulations!

Down 7 lbs[/quote']

Okay, I'm actually having trouble figuring out my weight because I can't find my weights in the old thread and I didn't record my weight every day on MFP. I eventually started putting it in the notes daily and logging it every Sunday but didn't at first. I thought I was down eight pounds in four weeks but I think I'm down eight pounds in just under five weeks.

So best guess for me is that I started on 23 June and am down 8 pounds.

But what I'll put here now (so I can remember) is that I am currently 141 pounds and back into my maintenance window (albeit at the top end) and have six more pounds to goal.

OK, so this is a kinda rough idea... I think I started around the same time as Laura and FYE so...

Start date: 11 June 13

Start weight: 168

weight as of this morning 163 (offical weigh day is always a Saturday even though I do admit to weighing daily) is 163

so, that is a 5lb loss so far! Not to shoddy for the slowest loser in town...lol

FYE, I really hope so 'cos I am finding really easy to follow and stick with! Even if it comes off really slowly, as long as it comes off and I can see progress, I will be happy.

And, I have to say, it is working for you TOO! In fact, all of us are rocking this right now! Loves it!

I thought I was in my eighth week, but I guess I was mis-counting (I have a hell of a time tracking anything...!). So I started 10 June I believe, and I was around 72kg at the time. I'm still in the 71kg range, and have bounced all over the place (even saw a 69.something on one day), but I don't track it so I am not too sure. Let's say I've lost a kilo in seven weeks maybe. *shrug* But I like doing it, so I'm still not too fussed about the speed of losing -- and to be entirely fair, my life has been very caloric this summer, I hope the social stuff dies down for a bit at some point.

      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!

      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.
