Stats first:

HW 427.4 (Jan. 2)

SW: 413 (Feb. 15)

Last week: 365

Today: 365.4

So, up 0.4 since last week and down 47.6 since surgery and 62 overall. (Grrrr.)

I had gained a pound, but now I've lost another 0.6 pounds of that, so I'm "only" up 0.4, which I know could be something as simple as minor digestive delays, but it's still annoying.

Since the weather is warm enough now (finally!) to no longer need long sleeves, I cleaned out my closet and dressers last night and got rid of an entire 55-gallon bag of clothes that are either too large or will be by the time cool weather comes around again. Kept my largest pair of jeans (34s) and my progress photo outfit, but the rest of it is going to Goodwill this weekend (after I do laundry and throw a few more things in the bag). I also went through some of my clothes in the next stages down and fit into a few t-shirts and pairs of capris that had been too tight, so that was a good NSV, and I'm glad I won't have to spend money on capris, at least for a while.

I noticed this week that I have a bit of a sunken-in area on the right side of my stomach, like I lost a bunch of fat in that one spot all of a sudden. Rather amusing.

Highest weight : 405
Surgery weight : 367
Current weight : 327

Goal weight : 250

So I’m down 40 since my surgery and almost 80 since I started the process. I’m slowly going down in shirt and pant sizes, but besides my wife no one else seems to notice. And that bums me out a little. I know I’m doing this for myself but with I guess I want more recognition.

WTG everyone!!! Congrats on another week of butt-busting hard work!!!

Misty, hang in there sweetie! :(

@BradS I think people DO notice, but they may be reticent to say anything to us! Also if you're wearing baggy clothes, it may not show. That's what happened to me. Today I wore leggings to PT and everyone was like, "DAng!!! You've lost SO much weight." But that's the first time they've done it. LOL.

Brads, I can totally relate. Some day I even have a hard time noticing and other days I look like a different person. Yet no one really says anything, btw I work in an office full of women who love to chat.

Also, I finally hit 60 lbs lost overall!!! Hit the goal this morning. I will say I have been pretty hard on myself lately as far as mentally. I look back at pictures and my face is so much fuller and swollen. I kinda get upset with myself that I looked like that. I worry I might continue to feel that way as I progress and the truth is I was very unhappy with my weight and how I felt but I was fairly confident in my looks.

Good morning kiddie troopers! It's Weigh In Wednesday! Let's get ready to rummmmmbbbbbbllllleeee!!!! :) hehe

Post your stats if ya got 'em!!!

HW 287 (May 5)

SW: 222.4 (Feb. 20)

Last week: 191.2

Today: 188.6

So, down 2.6lbs since last week, 33.8 (I don't know where I got my stat on this last week...DERP) since surgery, and 98.4 lbs down from my highest weight. I'm approaching the century mark. Yeeehaw!

This week has been great. Maybe a little less pain the hip, and walking outside in the sunshine has really made me feel good and impatient to be even smaller to see if it will help even more with pain!

Hope you all are well!

2 pounds down this week. I’ve changed things up a bit with diet and wanted to see a bigger loss this week but I think my body is recalibrating. My goal is be under 300 the end of the month!!!

Stats first:

HW 427.4 (Jan. 2)

SW: 413 (Feb. 15)

Last week: 365.4

Today: 359.2

So, down 6.2 since last week, 53.8 since surgery and 68.2 overall.

The good: FINALLY a good week. Makes up for the abysmal week I had last week, I guess. Hopefully I'll continue to have good weeks for the next two weeks, because I see my surgeon for my three-month follow-up two weeks from Thursday and I would REALLY like to be below 350 for that. I'm wearing clothes I haven't fit into for quite some time, and even some of those are already getting to be too big. Going to have to cave and buy a pair or two of capris pretty soon, I think, because I almost had a wardrobe malfunction at work yesterday because the ones I had on are too loose (and only have a fake drawstring that doesn't actually tighten the waistband).

The bad: I think the Hair loss has started. It's kind of hard to tell for sure because I have always been a shedder, but it seems to have increased lately. My hair's already thin, so I hope I don't lose TOO much. I'm on track with Vitamins and Protein (and fluids), so fingers crossed. Not doing as well with exercise as I should, simply because I haaaaaaaate it. Exercise is definitely the hardest part of all this for me, because I loathe it so much. I do it, but I could/should be doing more.

Am I really going to be the last one to post last week and the first one to post this week? Guess so!

Stats first:

HW 427.4 (Jan. 2)

SW: 413 (Feb. 15)

Last week: 359.2

Today: 355.4

So, down 3.8 since last week, 57.6 since surgery and 72 overall.

Another good week, though not as good as last week.

Hair loss has DEFINITELY started in earnest now; I can tell a difference in the amount that comes out in the shower. Thankfully, I haven't noticed a difference on my head yet, though I'm sure I will. Started taking hair/skin/nails Vitamins and bought some Biotin Shampoo and thickening conditioner; hopefully the combination will help keep it under control so it doesn't get TOO bad.

Hit three months out yesterday. Over the last few days I've seen several people (friends/acquaintances and distant relatives) who commented (positively) on my weight loss being noticeable. I still can't see it for the most part, other than in my face.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
