Watching this list grow day by day has brought a smile to my face on a frequent basis and It has crossed my mind that it would be a very comforting and encouraging list for those that are pre-banding. I have felt zero pressure... only joy to see so many having such great success with their bands!

Me too...we have all achieved so much - I don't think anyone was starving themselves in order to make up the last few pounds or lying awake at night trying to cope with the stress!!! So amazing to see all our weight loss together - wonder what weighs 4000lbs? A truck? 5 elephants? I'm useless with weights........!!!!

Hey wade for some reason you did not copy the entire list. Might want to edit your post to reflect that. Or better yet just wait cause I think there will be a NEW post started in a day or two.

I just changed it. I did not have the list from the second page. It is correct now!

Thanks,

My PT Cruiser (Chrysler) weighs 3300 lbs., so I would guess a typical American SUV would be about 4000. I think of it as 100 giant dog food bags @ 40 lbs. each!

Penni, will you lock this thread on the 1st and start a new list? This way there will always be a month-to-month comparsion. Either that, or you'll have to send each and every person on the list regular reminders to update their numbers. Or something like that?!?

Not a problem. I will lock this thread on the 1st and record the initial loss from the previous month. Is that OK with everyone?

The only reason to lock this thread is so people won't get confused as to which one to post their weight loss on. We don't want to have two lists going in one month. IT is hard enough to keep things accurate on one post.

Did I explain that well enough? Sometimes this late at night I get myself confused. LOL!!!

I am planning to start a thread with the month in it, for example Weight Loss thread for the month of March. Hopefully that won't cause any problems in the future.

      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!!
