I finally broke my 15 day plateau. Holy Smokes it has taken 15 days to lose one friggin' pound. But! I am happy as a clam with my results and I ain't letting it get me down. Onward and downard! I still have the darn goal of losing 100lbs. by May 6th but I am thinking at this rate it won't happen but holding on to hope!

Cheers Nymphs!

I just got back from vacation. I thought I gained weight but I've lost half a pound...no clue how that happened! Final exams are done so I have nothing stopping me from going to the gym everyday again.

I had a fill tuesday before setting off into the wild blue yander. Puts me up to 8.5 cc's in APL band. I AM TIGHT, TIGHT, TIGHT!!!

I think this fill will skyrocket my loss even more than it has been in the past 2-3 weeks and I will cruz right past my goal. (at least I hope so.)

Hang tight Nymphs! (excuse the pun)

Ok, shortie here with my usual measly one pound. I think I'd make goal for next week, but I'm leaving on vacation today (with a not tight band) so anything could happen this week. Fill already scheduled for as soon as I get home!

Great job Nymphs!

TXARcher: Did you find a fill Dr. in SC? Sounds like you won't need a fill for awhile anyway.

I'll check in as soon as I return!

Thanks Sades. Just a week. We'll do a lot of walking so that will help, but I'm worried about wine with dinner and at the same time want to enjoy and have fun. I might gain a pound or two, we'll see but I'm not worried like I used to be about getting those gained pounds off.

It would just mean "wasting" time getting the weight off.

I'm still stressing about the dress for the wedding but less so now and I want to start living like a normal person with occassional splurges.

I've been walking now ( three miles) not every day, but at least walking, so that ( and a fill) will help.

How's your fill level?

You're doing fine Shortgal... 40 lbs down, that's great. I'm still struggling to get back on track. I can eat so much. I'm booked for another fill on 14 May so I'm hoping that will hit my sweet spot. I also need to get my headspace back on track. I started going to a support group at the hospital the other night and I think that's going to help. They meet once a month and it's run by the nurse at my drs surgery. Hopefully I will have some positive news for you when you get back from your hols.

Congratulations on the walking, it will help. It's the only thing keeping me sane through all this.

Yay! I finally broke my plateau and got a loss to report. I was in a fancy pants hotel in downtown Denver for 11 days! No scale, eating out three times a day, no exercise (locked in meetings from 7am to 7pm). Thank goodness for the band. I had at least 2 or 3 "reminders" from my little buddy NOT to eat what I was putting in my mouth. They hurt, but they worked. Down 1.5 pounds on the home scale. There's no way I'm making my Cinco De mayo goal, but I'm moving down and that's what counts.

I lost 1 lb this week but not till Sunday. I had gained 5 before my last fill 2.5 weeks ago and quickly lost that 5 plus 2 more in the first week after the fill. Now even though I am eating less than I was before the fill, my weight loss has stopped for the past week. Did I hit a plateau because I ate so little for the week following the fill and then added calories the next week? Did this happen to anyone else?

      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.
