I'm getting REALLY frustrated!

I've been flirting with the same 2-3 lbs I lost 2 weeks ago..the scale wont budge! I'm eating well, drinking my Water and even hit the gym several times in the past 2 weeks! TOM isnt due for another week... I'm wondering if its starting to add the lbs early! UUGHH!!!!

Maureen...yes we will never forget. I was on the australian lapband blog today and they made some really comforting statements about 911.

Sandra - your hubbly...did you tell him where you'll put that foot!

Thank you Weazer.. you're right. My clothes fit much looser.. most of them I dont even need to unbutton to take off.. but you know how it is.. you really dont feel a sense of accomplishment until you see it on the scale. Very frustrating!

That's why i'm scared to get on one! I have a dermatologist appt later today. I will hide my eyes if they put me on a scale! I am still getting compliments each day, but it is always on my cloths. I don't think most people are noticing the weight loss..just that something is different. I unfortunatly suffer from too much pride. I don't like it when people comment on my weight, unless they do it when we are alone. I just don't like explaining to a group of people that I don't know or am not close with how I am losing wght. It is just so personal to me. Maybe I am too sensitive!

I am still to sensitive.

NSV - NSV - Major NSV........

Lastnight, my DH was watching TV. I was in the other room cleaing out my closet, because that morning I was have a real hard time finding something to wear to work. I have been inbetween sizes and some thing too big and some things just a little bit tight. I was trying on clothes, and walking the the living room and asking what did he think. The first few time he said "That looks nice" the next few times "Wow, you look great" well this went on for awile, I then I came in the room with this SIZE 12 sun dress, (it was cut down kinda low in the front), he said "Honey, you look fine........................." No more TV watching for him or trying on clothes for me..... LOL. I just love my band (and my DH)

Weazer- I also do not tell people that I have been banded. Only a select handful of people know... When asked I just tell them that I'm watching what I eat and exercising...which is all true.

Laura- WONDERFUL for you!!

Melissa, I was having the same problem. My scale droped to 224 a few weeks ago and I was beyond excited. Then it crept back up to 227 even though I continued to work out and eat right. A few days ago I dropped down to 222! Just when I thought me and the scale were going to have it out once and for all. I am hoping to get another week or two of continued loss before it does this again. I hate it. But all the while my clothes have been looser and looser so I am happy no matter what the scale says.

Thanks Ragdoll..

I think it may because TOM is nearing. This afternoon I've noticed that twinge of cramping I usually get a couple days before.

Melissa,

Don't you just love the backhanded compliments? My dh will come out with them now and then. I think they honestly don't know any better, they don't think. (or as the saying goes, they speak before they think).

I also think it just doesn't come out right. My dh thinks he's so funny sometimes. Ha! But just know how great you look in your new wedding dress that will have to be taken in!! That will put a smile on your face.

PS I know all about those 2 - 3 pounds. Last Wed I was at 200, but just can't seem to reach onderland. What's up with that? Up 3 pounds, down 2. Geez.

Also, whoever mentioned those ff refried Beans with cheese, I love you!! I just heated some up (in the microwave, as recommended), and they are so yummy. Never had them before, but I definitely will again.

Cindy

      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!!
