How low can you go in 09 weightloss challenge#1



Recommended Posts

I'm down 2 lbs, but it has been a real struggle. I had my first fill and I don't think it's enough restriction. I'm hungry for the first time since surgery. I'm back to craving ice cream and bad foods. It's been a struggle. My next fill appointment isn't until February. I am trying to stay motivated until the next fill. Any motivational words are appreciated. Let me know what works for you. Thanks.

hang in there doxie things will get better. maybe you have to up your calories some so you wont get hungry as much. i ended up calling my dr to see if i could come in early as im able to eat more alot more. so they have me coming in on tuesday. i fell ok with that as i wasn't to come in for another month. maybe try freezing your yogurt i saw that on here before. if things dont get better soon maybe you should call your dr back and let them know that you might need another fill.

great job pete

So far, I lost 2 lbs. the first week, 1 lb. last week, and 2 lbs. this week - for a grand total of 5 this month.

Not great, but I'm certainly pleased. I went to the doctor on the 19th, which was supposed to be for my first fill, but they apparently scheduled me too early. They said they like to wait 8 weeks. I'll get my first fill February 12th. I'm looking forward to it. I get fairly hungry.

I am down 3 pounds this week. I've worked hard at tracking my food daily and it helps me be aware of what goes in the mouth. I also joined the Y and my goal is to get into the habit of walking a min of 3 x a week.

Keep up the good work everyone!

I am down none!! I would say what my scale says, but it kept fluctuating, and changed every time I got on it. Got on it like 6 times in a row and it changed everytime. It is an expensive digital one, and should give me the same reading if I get on it 5 seconds after I get off it!! But the average is the same. 265.

:drool:This sucks. I have been eating the same things for over a week, and have to keep eating them until Feb 2. Then I get a fill, and switch to solids. I feel myself wanting to slip. I really want something sweet. Not breads really, but a big chocolate candy bar with toffee...sorry. It probably doesn't help you either...I am a reinforcement motivated person though, and with no weight loss (I went from losing 3-5 lbs a week to 0) I am feeling like I did everything this happened with a diet.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
