I am down 130 since Jan 7. I have had problems with McDonald's ice cream.. I had to admit to it and haven't had one in a month. Highest weight was 384 and now 250. Soooo happy I did this. My life is sooo much better.

I've felt like poo for eating too much junk, resolved to be better, then the next day lost my will and did the same crap. I seriously need to find my will power again. The last month and a half has been stupid, I haven't lost anything at all and it's my own fault. I've stopped tracking and fallen back on a lot of bad habits. I don't eat much at a time, and I do eat 3 healthy small meals-but it's the junk I eat in between that is doing me in. I know better, and it makes me mad. I had to fight hard for this, I need to quit blaming the Halloween candy and my husband being an enabler and do this the right way like I know I can. I'm so disappointed in myself. I've come so far this time, from a size 20 to a 12...but I know I can do better. I need energy to feel good-and I sure as heck won't find it eating crap and sitting on my ass.

Been there done that. I understand. We need to get back on the horse and buckle down. I'm struggling everyday.

I indulge on McDonald Ice cream once a month, but I ask for an extra cup and Knock off the mountain top. I eat just a little on the top and the cone. Save half the calories!!

Really? It's pretty much like frozen yogurt. It's the only one that does not make me sick, but I'm pretty far out from surgery.

I've tried it twice and yep, it doesn't agree with me at all. Same thing with the ice cream in my town.

Just got an email about the new site and realized its been forever since I've checked in here. How's it going? I miss catching up. I'd forgotten how much this used to be my support system.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had it at our house this year. I ate more than I should, and foods I shouldn't have-but overall much less than I ever have on any of my 39 turkey days. Enjoyed my family tremendously. I actually walked out to grab a guest a drink and caught my 7yo nephew taking a swipe of cool whip directly from an unopened container in the garage fridge! He dropped it and hid in the corner, told me "something fell". Not much else in there was white, and his auntie is a pretty good detective and realized even if "something" did fall from the fridge, it doesn't get all over your face by falling down. ;) Can't say I blame him, and I held no grudges-his new nickname is CW.

Lets see, what else? I just had a birthday, my 39th. Last one before the big 4-OH! I'm at the lowest weight I can recall being at since grade school. Sadly, I haven't technically lost any weight for about 2 1/2 months (unless you count the 5 I've taken off and put back on). Time to get on with it eh.

I'm quite sure it has to do with lack of motivation and restraint. Actually, I think most days my brain is motivated but I can't get it to connect with my lazy body... I can tie it to 5 things I need to correct: I haven't been tracking my food, getting in enough Protein, exercise, or Water, and I've never attended an actual support group. So, I started tracking again yesterday. I'm getting up right now to make a Protein Drink (with water) that I will take with me on the 2 mile walk my HB and I are about to go on. Then when we get back I'll find out what date the monthly support group is on and actually GO!

So enough for me-I have a drink to make and a walk to take. Guess I should get out of my jammies 1st (now that I actually talked myself into moving this body of mine!).

Have an awesome night all, best wishes.

Ok so I am stuck like glue to my weight but in its defense I have not exercised in a while. I am having sweet cravings and unfortunately I don't dump. I just need to start to move more.

I'm right there with you in the needing to move department. I got too complacent.

      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.
