Weight Over 200 Pounds Do U Wanna Check In Daily?



Recommended Posts

Current weight 252 obviously I have more weight to lose. Anyone want to start a private group that will check in daily and not be embarrased to share their struggles and the journey to get below 200?

Nope didn't start the group didn't look. Like there was much interest. I will join if someone starts it. I am 255 with a long way to go and struggling right now. Could use some consistent chats with folks in the same situation

Hi I'm 9 days PO, and just wanted to know if there is any support out here. I'm doing it all alone and needed some encouragement. The lbs are falling off as I'd hope or at the rapid weight as must sleevers in the beginning. Any suggestions?

Hello, I had the sleeve done on Dec 18th and I feel great. I started my journey at 373 over a year and a half ago and just couldn't seem to lose the weight. I got down to 339 and then moved. I started therapy and she suggested looking into weight loss surgery. That was in October 2013. I decided to do it. I quit smoking and saw the Dr. At ky 2 week pre-op on Dec 5 I weighed in at 356. I lost 23lbs pre-op and as of today I weighed in at 309. I did almost nothing the first 2 wks but walk about 20 min a day. At my 3 week check up I was cleared to start doing exercises just not any abdominal yet. I have been in the gym 5-6 days a week. I did my new personal best on the treadmill for the mile yesterday of 19:10. Before sirgery it would take me nearly 30 min and I would have to take breaks. I feel fantastic. I also do about 3 miles on the incumbant bike and do weight training as well. I am so excoted to be startong ky new life. I am 44 and wish I had done this years ago. I did not grow up overweight but have been carrying this weight for over 20 years since having 4 children and a horrible accident after my first 2 were born. I have major issues with my leg from the accident so losing this weigjt is a god send for me. I have had no issues this far with neausia or vomiting. I can swallow my Vitamins with no issues and i shoot for 80-100 grams of Protein and get all my Water intake in. I wish all of you out there doing this a safe, happy and life changing journey.

Ended up finally be dilated due to the narrow from surgery. I need some support having doubts but I look at my son and realize the reason I did this was to be around for my eleven year old. Today I'm currently at 228 pounds at 6 weeks out am I still losing much to soon.....

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
