"Shrinko De Mayo" Weight Loss Challenge



Recommended Posts

You are ALL so motivating!! This morning, after the scale hasn't moved much for the last 6 weeks, I lost 2 more lbs, making a total of 4lbs this week! I'm hoping NOW that my body has figured out it doesn't need all this fat and loves my band as much as I do. I'm SO excited to finally be losing again!!

So far we have committed to a total weight loss of 194lbs! The full weight of ONE obese person, We can do this!!

Anyone else is welcome to join at ANY time!

Count me in! I just want to be out of the 190s and into the 180s by Shrinko de Mayo! I'd like to lose 10 lbs by then, though I'll be happy as long as I lose at least 7!

Count me in too!!!!! I'd like to lose 35lbs by Cinco de mayo. I am so recently banded I'm losing pretty fast and I hope that continues. By that time I should have had my first fill and I will be able to restart my normal workouts. I am currently just walking on the treadmill for 45 min 3-4 times a week.

YAY I'm excited to have a smaller goal to look forward to!

Wow, this is a great idea. by May, 5 I would like to have dropped 15 pounds. I was just banded on the 19th of March and lost about 10 pounds already. So an extra 18 pounds would feel really good!!!! I am so excited:biggrin:

Anybody else wanna join? I'm also thinking of submitting our group into the "Biggest Loser-pound for pound challenge". For every pound you lose, they will donate 10cents to food bank centers of America (which equals 1lb of food). Anyone interested?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
