Weigh in... how much have u lost?



Recommended Posts

I've been missing in action for a few weeks...so I decided to join my May Bandster buddies again. I'm currently down 42 pounds. It's been fluxuating for a few weeks and that's so frustrating to me. I signed up for Water aerobics starting on Monday. Hopefully that will push me through this plateau.

OMG!!!! I went to get dressed for church Sunday evening. Put a pair of elastic knit pants on, fell off my hip. Then a pair of capris that buttoned...fell of my hips. I'm in a hurry, can't find anythign to wear...another pair of capris that buttoned, fell off too. What's going on?? I hopped on my scales...well, my 192 from Weds before is NOW a 187.....so I had to crab a winter pair of 16's pant...running out the door, my daughter laughs..."mom, those are too big too!"

Oh boy, I go on a cruise in December so I need some capris...but what size do I get before the clearance racks disappear??!!!!!

This is actually way too fun!!

That is so exciting. Congratulations.

I love to pull something out of my closet that use to be to small just to see if it might possibly fit now-and its already to BIG!!! I love that feeling-ENJOY that feeling!:embaressed_smile:

I'm stuck...I'm down 41 pounds and haven't lost anything in 3 weeks. I'm pissed. I'm going to aerobics two days a week and my clothes are getting baggier but the weight just isn't coming off. I'm proud of the 41 pounds...but it's so frustrating that it's not coming off even with a strict diet.

Are you measuring your inches? I do mine once a month. I haven't lost much pound wise, but I have lost inches.

I can go 3wks with no change. Don't let it try to bother you so much. take into account some things here...are you around your mensus time? how's your Protein, Water, carb, sugar intake? And more importantly, like Carrie asked, how's the inches? We can lose wgt, but our skin and muscles have to have their time too to play catch-up!!

I think 41lbs is a great accomplishment when compared to 15...20, etc!!! Job WELL DONE!!!

      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!

      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.
