Personal challenge between HP and D!!!



Recommended Posts

I'll work on an official 12-step program for Scale-addict Anonymous members. In the meantime, perhaps anyone needing the daily trip to a scale could enlist the help of a creative middle-schooler to draw a scale on cardboard that you can step on every morning. It might be a good idea to have the message "Lookin' Good" as the "weight" that the arrow is pointing toward.

This is one of the funniest things ever!!! It is such a good idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay....so I have only looked at the scale 10 times today...only stood on it 2 times...and thats all for today...I promise.

I have to find some kid who will draw me a scale that say looking good..lol too bad we cant make it have different phrases so it was a different thing every time i step on it!

Could make one with an opening where the number reads and then make a circle with different sayings on it and attach that on the back so the saying show through the hole where the number should be and you can rotate it to say what you want....like....

Lookin' Good Hot Stuff!!

My,You Are SOOOO Light!!

Wow!! Look Who IS Skinny NOW!!

You Don't Even Hit The Radar!!

Try Again, I Didn't Feel a Thing!!

You are cracking me up....I am going to have to make a home made scale.

Ok....since it has been a rainy day today....I did 3.2 miles on the stationary bike, 50 crunches on my upper, lower and both oblique abs, 10 minutes on the gazelle, 2 sets of 20 on all arm muscles and then 10 minutes of hitting the heavy bag....man I was sweating something sick...lol Of course when you are doing all of this in a garage that in the garage which felt like 100 degrees that sweat can be expected.

I know its late and I am trying not to eat past 7:15pm but I got out of work 2 hours late so I am off schedule today.

Sorry you had a sucky day HP, tomorrow will be better! sleep well!

Okay...so I am slowly breaking away from my scale...its tough...

I think I may need another fill...I think I can eat more than I should before I get full. I go back for another follow up on Monday.. hopefully he will agree with me and give me my second fill!

I have been good with the eating healthy..that part hasn't been a problem and I have done really well with exercise this week..between biking, doing a little extra cardio and doing some light weight lifting, I am pretty proud of how much I have done this week! ((pats herself on the back)) I use to find every excuse in the book to avoid exercising and now I am working out between 1-2 hours a day!

When you all go on these 20-30 mile long rides, how long does it usually take you to cover that ground?

A lot of the girls at work are really supportive of my exercise efforts and have told me they would ride with me on the trail down the street from my house, my husband rides with me every time so it is nice to have more people be so supportive!

D~ are you having your gallbladder check out tomorrow?? I hope it goes well, I have see a lot of people who have lost a lot of weight and then theirs goes bad..

HP~ What results are you waiting for?? I hope you get good news!

tigerlili....I do say I think you are picking up the slack for me this week as far as the exercise is concerned....You keep working as hard as you are......you are doing great.....

I think I could use a fill.....but I dont go back until Sept.

Well....since we are all friends here...

I had a breast biopsy

They were supposed to have my results today...went and took off work, husband took off work to go with me..get there, and they dont have them back yet.

So..she said....can you come in tommorow...Well...HELLO!!!!!

I am leaving for florida, and they want me to just schedule a visit with the surgeon next week to get them. Hello again...NO...I am going to be out of town..

So...I am going back tommorow....and HOPEFULLY GETTING GOOD NEWS.

My mom had breast cancer....so it is nothing for me to play around with..I hated the fact that it is interupting my life...I am working so hard to get healthy.....and I suppose this is one more way of doing that.

I just DONT LIKE NOT BEING IN CONTROL......And this is just odd.

so...that is the results I am waiting on..sorry...didnt mean to unload....

      Hey everyone!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      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. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
