Official Weigh Day!

3lbs down from official Weigh day last week.

RSG - I am just SO pleased for you! Your plateau is broken, it wasn't a quirk of the scales, you are doing so good!

Nope, not a tinge of jealousy - you have worked so hard for this.

So away on business and just catching up on things. I did not get my exercise in, so yesterday I did 40 minutes on my treadmill - variable speeds 2 - 4.5, and variable inclines 0 - 7...holy crap, it just about killed me!

So last week I managed to do my usual exercise 3 days, and 3 additional events. Gotta do some more today....

Well, I haven't necessary been the model of healthy eating but I've been so much better than I was during those 3 weeks of struggle. I've taken off all that I put on and am back to my low point. Yay, the ticker is accurate again and I can once again say it's 105 pounds gone.

Good Ezma. You are so calm for everything that has been going on. I hope everything continues that way. Just keep swimming

Tapshoes, how is the exercise going. I've been pretty lazy this week, but I am getting on it as soon as I get off work.

For the first time since I was banded, I ...GAINED weight. AFter all my hard work, I gained. I know I missed some exercise but only 2 days, and I really did try to stick with the band plan even when I was on a business trip. And I gained.

I am just so discouraged.

Tap - It could easily be Water gain. You were eating out more and they love to hide the sodium in food. Bet it comes right off for you. Don't get too discouraged. You've been doing great and just had a short change in your normal routine.

RSG and Ezma - I certainly hope it IS Water. If those pounds don't disappear by next Monday, I will be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO angry/frustrated!

Endured 40 min on the treadmill last night, and 30 minutes of swimming this morning. Have really got to work on the exercise regime this week.

Feeling your pain Tap. I did the two pound bounce this morning and I'm praying it's Water. I'm not sure why it's so hard for me to get back on the right track. I know I'm still eating some wrong things though I am doing right about 80% of the time. Lots of lean Proteins and fresh veggies with very little bread, Pasta or rice. Does anyone gain weight when they catch a cold? I've got one coming on and wondered about that.

Checking in. I'm back down to 214, my lowest weight so far, again. I'm really looking forward to this fill on Friday. I hope it makes a big difference.

      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!!
