Late June Sleeve Buddies?



Recommended Posts

Waffling between 254-256 for the past few days. I don't know if these are stalls or if this is just the weight loss pattern to expect..?

Stalled between 236-238. Back and forth. Very frustrating.

Hi all! Sounds like we're all stuck in about the same place. I've lost 39 pounds. Or 39.5, or 38.5, or 39 again. But my body is like 'I'll never let you see 40 pounds lost!!!!'. I'm traveling now, so I don't have a scale, and food is complicated in a hotel. I do have a mini-fridge and a microwave but this was easier at home. BUT, I'm using the gym and the pool, so we'll see what that damned scale has to say in a week! Have a great weekend, everyone! I'm moving my baby into his dorm for sophomore year today, say a little prayer for this mom's heart <3

ROFL as that is so true about being stuck. I am doing the same dance and so want to get to 40 pounds lost. Closest I've gotten is 39! I am sure it is harder while traveling, but i have no doubt you will do well. Have fun with the move. A bit sad and exciting at the same time I am sure.

I just traveling on vaca and forgot my cups to help measure with no scale. I think I did ok and broke a week long stall with about 5 lbs lost. I didn't feel as deprived as lobster is my main food goal on vaca and it is diet approved. It just took more than one meal to eat one but saved money as well! Lobster hot for dinner lobster salad for lunch on beach!

@@chycky We've spent many summer vacations in Maine, and I ate lobster every. single. day. I haven't had any since my surgery, but I may try some soon! I hope your vacation was wonderful :)

@@ShelterDog64 thank you! If you get a chance it is well worth it. Lobster is not as cheap here as it was up in RI but I will be looking to have again before season ends.

@@KristenLe I shudder to think I could become allergic I could eat it every meal!

Really struggling with Water the last two days being somewhat off normal schedule due to vaca has been challenging. I put priority on the Protein shakes! I even made some of the chicken broth protein but had one snafu when water was too hot had to dump the hockey puck "biscuit" that formed and start over!

Sounds like most of us are in a stall. I lost like crazy last week but this week has been hovering between 247-249. That's fine. I know it will come off eventually. I've gotten to the gym twice this week and I'm watching what I eat. I've been struggling with remembering my Vitamins with the new work schedule but i set an alarm and that's helping.

After 14 days of up down up down, do I dare trust the brand new 1/2 lb loss my scale showed this morning? Think I am going to see if it is real on tomorrow's episode of "Days in our lives of weight loss...."

@@magoosmom - glad you had that ride last week. I bet you feel great!

@@suzzzzz take the loss :). I consider the lowest weight recorded to be my weight until the next lowest weight! Really eating less than 800 calories and working out I ignored the back and forth 1/2 lb that happened. I know that will change and will eventually need to watch climbs but at this point I am sticking to LW that I get even if takes a week to come down again!

Thanks. I like that idea. I get having a stall, just didn't expect to do that dance for 2 weeks solid. And, I am happy to report another 1/2 down which takes me to 40 lbs lost in 2 mths. I am happy with my progress and so grateful that I don't feel deprived. I need some of that lobster to celebrate!

My stall has ended too!!!! I'm -43 lbs since 21 June :-) I agree about not feeling deprived, I've had meatballs, beet and feta salad, quinoa, spinach, steak and oatmeal in just the past few days. Plus, the fridge in my hotel room has a tiny little freezer space so I got a box of my beloved sugar-free tropical Popsicles. Happy Sunday, losers!!

      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!!
