I'm expecting to hit 299 in 3 weeks
Our race across the '99 line is still on, then! At the rate I'm going, I might not get there for another four or five weeks, but I'd love to get to the "other side" by May 1. Ready, set. . .

Hey! Where is everybody this week? I lost a half a pound, nothing short of miraculous considering how much chocolate and ice cream I put away last week. Slowly crawling to the 200 mark... Jonathan, how are you doing?

Nothing as drastic as I was hoping, but I'm 2 lbs down -- now at 316.

Oops, that's only down a pound. Guess I'm crawling right along with you =)

I guess to keep myself honest I should post my starting weight as 264. That's what I weighed on my home scale the day I left for Monterrey. But I miraculously weighed less at Dr. Rumbaut's office, and 261 didn't sound nearly as bad, so I used it as my official weight, rationalizing that the doc's scale must be more accurate than my generic model. Now, though, I might as well face reality! So I'm changing my signature as of today. Wish I could honestly state my current weight was lower. :)

(sigh) I lost 1 pound.

I have a confession to make: I have been eating crap for 2 weeks now! Just ate a jumbo *not small* JUMBO hershey bar w/ almonds - then finished Anne's cheetoes.... badbadbad Paula!!!!! :angry

Just for mental abuse, I looked on the hershey wrapper for the calories..... ONLY 410! :dead

Thats a meal.

I lost one pound. One week, one pound. Three weeks, three pounds. I know that I'm right on target, but I sure was hoping to loose faster than one pound a week. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, quick being so hard on myself because I'm right on target!

Slow and stead wins the race. But geeze, can't I be a little more glamourous than a tortus? I wanna be something sleek like a cheeta! Or a leapord! yeah, that's it!

      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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
