I gained 3 pounds (bummer)...I went for a fill today, but the doctor didn't think it was necessary...I still have restriction and have had 4 PB's since my last fil 3 weeks ago. I'm scheduled to return to him in 3 weeks.

Good luck everyone.

Okay, there it is in writing....Its about time I got off the pot and take this more seriously! I am going to have my 2nd fill today. I currently have 4ccs so far. I know I can eat way to much at one time, ie: a plate of food. My choices need to be better, and need to get moving......is everyone going to move more too? How about it?

Thanks for the challenge.....the goal is: feeling better than I do now

LETS GO NOVEMBER NYMPHS--------------WHOOOOHOOO:thumbup:

Just got back from my cruise to Alaska. I didn't gain any weight!!!! I am very pleased because they had so much food there. I couldn't eat much and didn't feel deprived because I ate a small bit of my favorites a couple times and that worked. Not sure I can do 10 pounds but I'm going to try!! I'm going in for a small fill tomorrow morning...maybe .1 or .2 if I can.

Well, I started off the challenge by GAINING 4 POUNDS IN ONE WEEK and I didn't even go anywhere or eat anything fun!

I am quite certain that this is Water weight. I came down with pink eye and a terrible cold this week. Also, I am an emotional mess because I had to put my 15-year old Border collie (Dave) down yesterday. Sigh.

There is no way that I am going to record this weight. I can only hope that next week will be kinder.

oooh foofy I am so sorry about your baby......I too have been in your shoes, it sucks, it hurts, and most ppl don't understand the truley deep love you felt for him, and him for you.....just know I do :thumbup: Just last night I spent the whole night wondering if powder (my cat of 12 yrs) was going to make it....she mysteriously was hiding, slinking to the floor, odd meows almost like she was hurt. It tore me up, we went to the vet today and got labs done (waiting for results) and other tests.....doc not sure what to make of her behaviour, so he wants to chk results....she got antiobotic/anti-inflam shot, as well as blood drawn. So now I wait and worry.....also my sister is in for a 6 hr back operation today....omg anymore worries today?! She is far away from me too.....she lives in Ontario. Well thats enough rambling from me...

So pick yourself up and get busy, time will help you with your heart and the bonus will be your wt-loss...

hugs, Debbie

Thanks Kuchie. Dave was wonderful, but it was his time to go. They can't cure old age. I also lost my 18-year old cat last month. I will wish the best for your powder. Twelve is the prime of life for a kitty - much too young to go.

I wanted to go for the gusto and say my goal was 199 but I realize that 35 pounds in less than 2 months is a bit unrealistic, so 15 - I think I can manage that.

I am struggling with an older pet with problem, too. My 15 y/o golden retreiver just had a lump on his leg removed. It was sent for biopsy as it could be cancerous. He has no appetite since the surgery, hope he's not in pain, seems lethargic. We'll have the results in a couple days.

He's the last of four pets we had at one time. Two dogs and two cats. The first dog ( small breed) lived past 17.5 years and the cats were at least 18 years old. It's so hard bringing them to the vet that last time and having to make that decision. I think this will be our last pet and that's hard to accept also. Don't know if I can start all over with another puppy.

They are such a big part of the family, I'm sorry when anyone has to go through that process.

I feel your pain, both of you. I've lost two of my babies in the two years. Sweetie, my kitty who was nearly 19 when she passed while I was away at my son's high school graduation ceremony and Buddy, my other sweet little kitty who just passed two months ago at the age of 15. Now all I do is worry about my dog, Cocoa, as she is quite old as well.

I hope your kitty is okay Kuchie. Foofy, I have no doubt that your babies are now hanging out together waiting for you to show up.

Foofy - I am so sorry about Dave. It is so hard. I had to put my 13 yr old Toy Poodle down last year in April. It was so hard. I still miss him so much.

Debbie - I hope Powder is okay. That is so scary. Let us know what happens.

Shortgal - I hope you get good results on your golden. Let us know the results.

Holly - I hope your Cocoa stays healthy and I am so sorry about the 2 you lost.

Big hugs to all of you.

I got another puppy in August. She is a Cockapoo and turned one on April 22. She was born the same day that I had to put Cody (Toy Poodle) down. I knew it was fate and she was supposed to be mine when I saw that she was born that day. Animals are the best.

Thank you all for your kind words, and support....i have been not stop crying with worry....over protective mother i guess....the vet did a full body look over, mouth etc....nothing outstanding, full bladder though. They gave her a shot of antibiotic, and also anti-inflam, drew blood and sent her home....she has had Water and a little food so far....i cleaned the litter box to watch for voiding.....but she did it in her carrying case instead as she keeps hiding in her litter box.....so strange....i should get the results from the blood work tomorrow. I will let you all know.....

hugs to all of you for your losses....muwah

      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.
