Hey Steph, I think the last couple of people didn't realise it is a Nov 07 group. I guess whatever helps them get to goal! :rolleyes:

Yeah, I know they weren't paying attention. I guess what gets me is if you're going to be unconscious, at least TRY to notice that there are other people around besides yourself. I guess the "world revolves around me" attitude runs rampant where I work and it gets old. Not to jump on anyone. I just wish more people would pay attention to what they're doing.

I guess I should have said "November Nymphs Weight Loss Challenge" when I started the thread. Do the threads show up anywhere else on the site other than under our group month? I don't understand how others would find this challenge unless they were looking under November 2007. Oh well, the more the merrier I guess.

Yeehaw! I'm in the 160's...FINALLY. Just about 5.5 more pounds (164) and I'll be at a lower weight than I've been in probably 10 years. I lost a ton of weight in HS, but gained it back throughout my senior year and then some after I graduated. I then proceeded to struggle with my weight after that. I was able to maintain about 165-175 when I was about 22.

Well, I'm pretty sure that they click on the link for viewing ALL new posts, which shows the entire bulletin board regardless of where stuff is posted. I'm not annoyed that they're joining the challenge. I'm annoyed when they start cutting people out of the list because they're paying so little attention - that's just inconsiderate.

I have always looked in on November Nymph's as I had my surgery in December... which iby the way is only a couple weeks after many of you.

How sad that anyone would even make a pathetic remark about people being in the wrong spot!?!?!?!?

I thought we were all here for one reason?? I wont' be back to this particular thread!

There's no need to be overly sensitive. I said that I didn't mind that you guys joined the challenge. What bothered me was people getting cut out of the challenge because someone wasn't paying attention. I think THAT is rude and very inconsiderate to the people in the group. Think I'm rude if you wish - not a big deal. I'm not going to lose any sleep.

But I will point out - she cut you out of the list as well, MrsKryz. If i had a problem with you being in "the wrong spot" (I NEVER SAID THAT), then I wouldn't have added your name in the list on my post right after yours.

I thought that this challenge would happen for me but it seems I am wrong. I am at 5cc but still able to eat a fair amount of food. I have another fill appointment this Wednesday, so I'm hoping that another 1cc might do the trick. Hopefully I will be able to post a weight loss soon.

Of course it doesn't help that I keep grazing!!

Good grief. This seems to be a "skinny person's" challenge. I'm jumping in to add some heft to the group! When did you all get so darn little?:)

Well, Foofy - if it makes you feel any better, I keep gaining and losing the same pounds. It's starting to tick me off. I'm 3 pounds above ticker. :wub: I'm even being good and I gain. It's really frustrating. Hopefully by next weigh-in (next Monday), I'm down something, or it'll be hard not to run the damn scale over with the car.

Lets see if putting out 5lbs to lose will kick start my weight loss. Been on a wicked plateau...but ok with it.

Speaking of plateaus, I've been up and down the same 5 pounds for 3 months! I'm seeing the nurse practitioner on Friday. Time to cave and get another fill. If I can only lose by choking down liquids, so be it. I'm getting a bit panicky!

      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. 💗

      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. 💜

      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.
