We are a GREAT bunch of LOSERS!

I can't seem to talk myself into feeling like the weight loss right now is a bonus! I should take my own advice, huh? I was doing so well, but now I'm just stuck. WHY???? I need to somehow kick it back into gear, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong or different.

I lost three more pounds this week for a total of 18.5 since pre-op (first week in April)! I'll take that. While it's not a ton of weight, I'm actually loosing a lot of inches which is all I really care about anyway. I've lost a total of 6.5 inches (boobs, waist, and hips)! I actually have clothes that fit!! Congrats to all you other loosers! We're doing great!

I'm stuck. I haven't lost or gained anything in a week and a half. At least I haven't gained. Moved up to soft foods - fill is less than a week away - and I can't wait to see how this thing works.

L2L: Ummmm, I think your body is probably in shock because you've lost SO MUCH WEIGHT!!!! You are a rock star! Let your body catch up and you'll be losing again in no time.

Hey, you need to let me catch up to you. I thought we were band buddies! You can't lose more than me sooner than me! LOL

Turler - you know you will catch up with me. You lucky dog! You got your fill early...I'm still so jealous! <see - green with envy> I have six more days - I am getting to love these little count downs. It gives me something to look forward to. I'm on soft foods now - so I think I've confused it again...lol...hopefully I'll have a drop any day now. My scale is like a yo-yo right now...and YES, I am still addicted to my scale!

Yeah...maybe we have 'Transfer Addiction' to our scales! LOLOLOL I just crack myself up! But really, I knew I couldn't stay away from the scale, but it's really not hurting me so far. I actually think looking at it every day keeps me in line. I am a 'gotta know' kinda girl.

You are so far ahead of me already in the pounds lost department! I am so proud of you! I'll bet you look great!

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
