You know, in my head I know I should be happy that I'm going down, but boy I was disappointed that I gained a pound last week. This week it's "Yea, me!!!" I lost 3.6 pounds at weigh-in.!!!:) The big "Yea, me" is that I have lost 30 lbs since October.

there is a "SWEETHEART GOAL" in progress already for Valentines day...if anyone is interested in that then i can give you the link to it.

the goal is to lose 14lbs by Feb 14. we just started 2 days ago so there is plenty of time left to get in on that goal if you'd like. not trying to steal your post, but just thought you'd like to join the one already in progress.

xoxo, christie

ps- we haven't posted stats yet. just a thread where we're supporting each other. we'll check into each others stats once a week or so, but really just using the honor system and supporting each other.

I was so excited to weigh in this morning! Last week I only lost 1/2 pound, but I guess the two days of liquids after my fill really made a difference. I had the lowest weigh loss goal for the challenge of everyone and was still worried I might not be able to achieve it. Maybe I can!

Can't wait to see everyone post today!

I knew something must be good when you were very excited to post your success. Doesn't it help us to have great success. You can do it! How is your restriction? I hope it takes you another week.

Cindy, I was hopeful this fill would give me some restriction, but this morning I was able to eat 1 and 1/2 packets of oatmeal. Hope is fading. I will have to rely on willpower for another two weeks!

The only thing that helps the weight loss seems to be the two days of liquids following the fill! UGH!

Why do we need the magic feeling of being FULL? It's like searching for the holy grail, trying to get restriction.

I have been avoiding social situations so I don't over eat until I get a fill that works (even for a bit) but I cannot continue this forever. My life lately is all about the two weeks until the next fill arrives and I was sore after this last fill so in a way I dread them.

Hope and despair all within a couple hours!!!

I set a big goal and am going the wrong direction. I wish I could understand why. I'm exercising, eating fine... Oh well, we will see, maybe I will get those big numbers next week!

I didn't lose anything this week. I had my TOM and I just felt like I was a non-stop eating machine. I am calling today to schedule my fill. Hope the scale goes down for next week.!

      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!!
