I gained 1.5 this week...can't seem to figure out what's going on. I think I have to walk with my measuring cup...I'm probably eating more than 1 cup. I've been in the gym everyday and keeping the calories between 1000-1200. Oh well....good luck everyone.

The scale finally moved. I lost 2 pounds. It hadn't moved in 2 weeks but I started working out with a trainer 3 weeks ago so I know I was building muscle. The inches are coming off faster now!

Well, I got a fill this week and I think that I might be at some restriction because I get so darn full fast. Tonight I could only eat a little piece of chicken and a spoonful of broccoli and a few bites of mashed potatoes and I am so full. I did have a snack earlier a couple pieces of swiss cheese as I was hungry and needed some Protein. I hope this it!

You're dong so well Cindy. I hope this is the one for you as well.

The scale is moving again. Had a small fill last week, .5cc, and I'm finally feeling real restriction. It's so hard to eat though. I get stuck all the time no matter how slow I eat. I'm not going to unfill. I'm not in pain so I'm going to suffer through it so the weight comes off.

WoHoo!. I have gone down again... This is the number from last friday. I have had 2 fill appointments with no fill! I think I had restriction for a bit there. I am starting to feel the hunger rear it's ugly head again and I will probably get a fill next week. I have 12 pounds to go and I guess about 20 days to get there. I think this is going to happen. I have been working my tail off in my yard building fences. Privacy and dog run. Just today I sunk 10 posts. Each bag of concrete weighs as much as what I have lost! 80 pounds.:lol: I can't believe I used to carry around a bag of concrete EVERY STEP OF THE WAY! I am beat from unloading 10 bags (800 pounds) and then mixing the concrete and sinking the posts!

UGH... I am going to go fling some arrows now!

Yep... I just updated my ticker too. It sure feels good to see that 80 pounds lost 70 to go! I have often thought of getting my really sturdy army back pack and filling it up with the weight equal to what I have lost and take a walk down the street. Just to remind myself of where I have come from and where I NEVER want to be again!

I've started walking again ( I walked before surgery and then kind of stopped when winter came) and I cannot believe how much easier it is this time.

I thought today when I was walking about your bags of cement and I translated mine to 1 and 1/2 bags of the big 25 pounds of dog food that we buy. That's a lot to carry on my short frame! Feels good to be free of that!

      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. 💗

      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.
