Howdy Shamrocks!

I'm not going to repost the list because I didn't loose this week. I am going to be happy that I didn't gain. I did stick to the plan, so it is slightly frustrating, but that is ok. I had to get on the doctor's scale twice this week and I was down from the last time I had been to see them both times. My goal for 3/25 is to hit between 65 and 75 pounds lost. I even know the goal after that! I know I shouldn't get ahead of myself, but at that point I will be real close to oneunderland.

So, moving myself is the goal for the next week. It has been tough. My involuntary exercise is ok, but I need to get back with the program. Walking a few city blocks here and there isn't going to cut it.

Congrats Harley on getting back on track. Scrappy, you are an inspriration. Everyone has a tough time at some time. I'm guessin you will be at or very close to your goal by your one year anniversary.

Teri - great NSV. I think the NSV's are better than the SV sometimes!

Well... I again stayed the same, holding on for Tuesday when I get my desperately needed fill!!!!!

Glad to see so many of my shamrock friends on track!!! You guys rock!!!!!

Other news... had to cancel a big 90th get together for my grandma this weekend due to the forecast of up to 10 inches of snow by tomorrow evening. Holy Cow... we have seen a lot of snow this year!!! So far the first wave brought about 2 inches this evening, just planning on staying inside and warm this weekend:)

Down one this week. Not sure how that happened with all the munching I have been doing on all the wrong foods. Anyway, back on track tomorrow.

I have started doing stretches with my 8 yr old DS every evening. This week we found out he has a part of one of his vertebrae that never fused. I took him to the doctor because for years he's been having back pain and it's not getting better. So he has "spina bifida occulta". Thank God it's a very mild case, but I was very freaked out to see his spine was "broken" on the x-ray. His flexibility is limited since his spine does not curve normally and doing the stretches might help/can't hurt. So while I'm on the floor I'm throwing in some abdominal work....imagine that.

So, feeling blessed to have my three beautiful healthy children (I was very scared for a few days while the spinal surgeon and the ortho guys were consulting), and so glad I am getting healthy and thin.

Harley! You stole back my five pound weight loss this week! So I'm updating again.

Good loss to those who've lost, way to maintain to those who maintained, and chin up to those who had a little bump! and Yay to Scrappy, who was feeling blue, but powered through.

Christine, that must have been v. scary indeed - I'm glad your lad is fine!

I now repost the CORRECT data!

No body answered the Body Bugg question. Are you still using it? Why did you stop? It sounds interesting but I guess not realistic to use all the time.

I don't know WHAT you copied! I was down 5 lbs but in one week - the thing you have there has never before existed!

I'm being coy about my start and current weights. When it gets to something more palatable, I'll put it up. Indeed, when I began pushing for this idea, I think I specified that people don't have to put their weights down!

Ok guys, I can't figure out what it is that you're doing with the weights. Is it a weekly weigh in? Or what is it? I am clueless since I wasn't checking in here for a few weeks and now I would like to join too.

yes, weekly....we've been setting Friday as a weigh-in day!

I am just so surprised at what difference it made in how my band feels by doing that little five day program. I made some whole wheat Pasta and marinara with ground beef for dinner last night and seriously felt very full with about 15 penne Pasta noodles and some sauce....sure hope this lasts!!

I propose that each week we start a new list with just the pounds lost/gained that week. Fresh week, fresh list. How about that? With no current weight.

I tried to make it as current as possible. Sorry if i missed anyone.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
