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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
