Well, I gained more weight over Easter than I care to mention lol. Damn chocolates! So I'm just happy to be below my start weight for this challenge. Hopefully next week I'll have a better number to post.

I think somewhere along the way the cutting and pasting got mixed up. Some people's numbers are off in the current list (ie skinny jill). hmm..

Well, I couldn't take the hunger anymore, so I called and made an appt for Monday!

It's not even Noon and I have had: one Atkins shake, 3/4 c Kashi go lean Cereal with 1/2 c skim milk and one piece of whole grain bread with PB. I never eat that much. My stomach feels like a bottomless pit.

And all that food did not fill me up! I knew I better get to the DR's office ASAP!

I want to get off the next 10lbs. my May 6th so that I hit 100lbs. by my 6 month Bandaversary. Wouldn't that be nice. I go for a fill next week so that should help me out a lot. I haven't reached the sweet spot yet. Like Shortgal I have a bottomless pit sometimes. Really having to keep mind off of eating.

Sheesh, that was confusing!. Ok, this SHOULD be right. If your numbers are off, change them.

Cindy, this is the first time I am feeling so out of control with the food. I've never had great restriction for more than a couple days but have always managed to eat sensibly. I am choosing healthy foods but eating too much of them.

I am nervous about ending up too tight before my vacation, but if I am doing a fill it should be soon so I have a chance to try some solid food to see what works before I go away. And If I don't do something everything I own will be too tight before I leave!

I'll have 2 1/2 weeks after the fill to get it all figured out.

One good thing is that there are great doctors in Mexico should you have problems. LOL! I agree that you don't want to be to tight on vacation. Enjoy!

Hi everyone,

I am just checking in. The scale is not moving. I am tracking every bite I eat and eating around 1000 calories. I am also excercising with a trainer. I know I am losing inches so I am not too frustrated. I know the scale will start going down soon.

I'm down three! Got another fill and that helped. Don;t think it's the sweet spot but it feels different (so far) and feels like I'm a little closer to THE spot. I think another .25 or .5 cc will be right. I'm at 8cc now! Next appt is after vacation, May 5th. I have two weeks until we leave, don't think I'll reach challenge goal but as long as it goes down something, it's all good.

I'm finally in the 170's!!!!!!!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
