Hi I'm New to the forums, but I've read some of the posts and love the support given! I have my date set for June 15th and I started my 2 wk pre-op eating plan today. So far so good!

I'm going on a date tonight (dinner & movie) and I plan to stick with it! Even if it's just sipping on broth! Lol!

I do wish to find a few good people that share the same date sho we can encourage each other on the life long journey. Please share and let me know what your date is!

Thanks!

Glad everyone is doing good!! I am eating puree, drinking well but not getting my protein in. I am doing ok with my vitamins, but I need to figure out a plan, right now everyday is different and it's hard. I am able to sleep on my right side, I put an ice pack on the large scar every night when I go to bed to help with swelling and it seems to help. I have been weighing everyday and have hit a stall with weight but, I know I am still on track. My clothes are getting bigger everyday. I have an outfit hanging up I wore to Disney world about 8 years ago, which I would love to be able to wear again!!! I also have the motivation of my one year old grandson:) I started out at 260 lbs at my first weigh in Feb. 2015, surgery day I weighed (June 15) 240lbs. Today 229. I have lots more to go as my goal is 160-165.

Please tell us your story!!

Grandma,

I know you are very determined to win, with that said weighing your self everyday could be quite depressing, even without wls. Most people I have heard from and I have chose to believe say once a week on the same scale at the same time of day. That's the best way to get the most consistent results. Wls journey is hard enough without the disappointment of a daily reminder. Your weight can and will fluctuate hang in there you'll get there. Brian

???? I knew you'd live!! Lol!

How far is everyone walking? I made it almost to a mile yesterday, but now my right side hurts. Anyone?

I'm not walking until my incisions are completely healed. Still have derma glue on them. Take it easy. I have an abdominal binder from previous surgery that I will probably use to walk with at first.

I don't walk but around the corner, or when shopping, but I ride my bike for 15 - 30 min (1.3 - 2 miles. I try daily.

Congrats Grandma on being able to walk a mile already.. I have been aiming for time..I've been trying to walk at least 30 min a day at least.

So I hope everyone is doing good!! Tonight was such a beautiful night we went shopping, then for a walk after we went to Chick-Fil-a for dinner. We went for a walk and talked to a few neighbors. Hope everyone else had a good day:)

grandma what did you beat at Chicfila?? I'm jealous lol

I ate the grilled chicken nuggets and some of the fruit cup:) I was a kids meal and I had about half left!

Looks like it has been a while since the June 15 folks checked in...how is everyone doing?

Starting weight- Jan 7, 2015 260

Survey weight-June 15. 240

Today's weight 197.8

I am at onerland and so excited!!! I have not weighed in the hundreds since high school (21 years ago) I did a happy dance and got a message the weekend I hit onerland!!! If was a rough few weeks in a stall at 200.4 so it was a very exciting day when the scales hit that 1 number in the front. I have not really had but a few bad days and I am getting use to the idea some foods are just not for me anymore. I have the support of my family in this, so it makes it easier!! Getting ready to Celebrate my 20 year anniversary 35 lbs lighter than when we married!!!

Hope every one else is having a good journey also!

Congrats grandmaofone!

I was a June 16ther --- going well - I was 280 @ surgery time, and 232 now. Looking forward to onederland someday!

Otherwise, I've really had no complications, and can eat most anything, though fats and sugars in excess make me feel crummy - but that's a good thing

This was my fb post for today:

I am sooooo excited!!!! I finally got out of bed at 6:10 after a really bad nights sleep and followed my morning routine. Went to bathroom, then I jumped on the scales, I can't believe the number!!!! So I weighed myself three other times, and still the same!!! Sleepless night is no match for being so excited!!!! I am DOWN 76 pounds!!!! I have been really watching what I eat and drink the last week because of the holidays coming up and didn't want to be set back. I guess it is working and the scale numbers are dropping to prove it is working!!!! I celebrated by giving the girls money to stop and get a drink and a donut or something. Figured they could celebrate for me!!!! I am only about 20 pounds away from my goal!!!!!
