Great job! It's so gratifying to see everyone's progress....we are a special month - (08/08 afterall!).

I'm down 4 lbs this week for a total of 24 lbs. I've also been walking Maggie (my labradoodle) daily - between 30 - 60 minutes. More exciting are my before and after pictures and my inches lost! It really is astonishing to SEE :wink2: what a difference 24lbs makes!

I am stuck. Same weight for the past 5 days.We have had a lot of rain so I have not been walking. I guess I have to get the treadmill out and dust it off. Yuck - I hate hamster exercise.

Everyone sounds to be doing good. It is inspiration to get exercising:mellow:

Finally! Movement! After spending the last week gaining and losing the same 2-3 lbs. I'm at a new low, 27 lbs. lost since intake at the end of June. Things certainly seem like they're moving very slowly, tho. Grr arg.

Walked 2-3 miles/day, plus tried the Punch, Kick, Jab DVD. Um, too soon. :wink: Dying to get back to weight training and core work, but my port is still sore (surgery 8.7) and while I've finally managed to eat more than 1000c/day, I think it will be a couple of more weeks before I'm doing situps and back to lifting 60+ lbs. at a pound (other than myself, of course :wink2:).

I started on food this week and have not lost much since. I'm eating about a cup of food per sitting (FAR less than a normal meal in the past.) I am sceduled for my first fill in just under 2 weeks. I can't WAIT for the restriction. I'm hoping it will nix the hunger I am feeling. I am down 19 total pounds from pre-op. 9 prior to surgery and 10 more since 8/6. I know it will be slow until the first fill...I just want to be skinny TODAY! I'm walking 30 minutes daily and just started my 20 minute toning DVD in the mornings! Hopefully that will help too!

Congrats to everyone...we are making it happen one day at a time!:wink2:

I am still sore and just taking small walks. I weighted 211 going into surgery, then was 224 day after surgery due to post op Water and gas I guess. Went down to 205.5 last week, now 204. I am still on semi liquids and into some cottage cheese.

I was always good at losing weight just always put it back on...LOL

Now hope to keep it off.

Take care

Hi All,

Here is my latest:

Since Jan - Down 31 lbs

Since Surgery - Down 20 lbs

Since last Friday - Down 5 lbs

Exercise this week - walked 2 times for about 1.5 miles

Let's hope it keeps going 5 lbs a week! I know I will slow down, but I am enjoying seeing the scale move fast. My clothes still fit. :P. I was hoping at least 1 thing would be too big so I can replace it.

I haven't lost 1 stinkin' pound since last Friday. I have not eaten more than a cup a meal, no snacking, less than 1000 calories a day, and did Turbo Jam videos 5 of the 7 days. I didn't expect to hit a plateau so quickly. I'm frustrated but not giving up.

I know how frustrating it can be when we don't lose weight! I am sure I'll be feeling like that soon too! Just keep telling yourself you'll get there in the long run!

Those exercising and not losing much may be putting back on muscle which weighs more than fat so I wouldn't stress too much, like lellow said your measurements are probably going down you are just starting to tone up which you will want in the long run!

We'll get there peoples!!

I know that I am a day late but I worked from 7 till 7 yesterday and was too tired to post. I did lose 3 pounds this week. Down from 243 to 240. I get to start eating regular foods on Wed. and my apetite has definately come back so I'm hoping I don't gain next week.

Forgot to weigh yesterday, so I did it this morning - so here is my Saturday weight:

Down 4 lbs this week! Need to pick up the exercise, that is a trouble area for me and I go back to work this coming week (teacher).

Congrats to all the losers this week! Stick with it if you maintained or gained!

Lost 6.5 this week on the pre-op liquid diet. Should've been more but my hormones are out of whack now and even though I'm on Depo shots, I'm PMSing and having breakthrough. Bloated like no body's business but haven't GAiNED my normal 2-5lbs! I think it means that I'm still losing liver-wise but with the bloating, just not showing up on the scale! I'm hoping this will end tomorrow b/c I'd like an accurate surgery day weight!!

I'll be banded by next WI too!! WooHoo!!

      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. 💜

      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. 💗

        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. 💜

      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.
