Sissy - I have up my calories big time yesterday and it paid off. I have lost 1.5 lbs. I will definitely have to be careful with my calories from now on.

Thanks again,

Alisa

LOL...yeah, I think most of us count the pre-op diet as well as it's part of this process. 30 pounds is great (good job catching yourself)!!! We all need to learn how to take a compliment too (haven't had enough of these about our weight over the years)!!! I found myself blogging here this morning about finally making it to 'Overweight' and in the same blog making excuses that I lost that one last pound because I was sick last night...like I didn't do all the work to get the other 46 pounds off. I'm so used to putting myself down when it comes to weight loss. We need to be proud of how hard we're working and how far we've come!

Hi Jersey

What's your preband weight so I can add you to the spreadsheet?

Sorry for making trouble. I've been on vacation and out of touch since 6/15. My preband weight was 309.

Yesterday's weight was 277. Not bad -- 4lbs down on 4 week party.

Well JT what did the doctor say?

Well first of all I have to make a couple of points.

1. My Dr is known for his lack of bedside manner

2. I don’t count my weight on surgery day because I had and over night cleans

a. 288 the night before surgery

b. 282, I think, the day of surgery

That being said……..

The nurse said that I’m right on track. I commented how frustrating the 1 pound loss every other week is. For band patients they plan for 3 years to reach goal.

The Dr commented that I’d lost 22lbs in 3 months and a few days, I kind of broke in and commented that I don’t feel surgery date weight is a good one because of the cleans. He then went to my post fill instructions….

In short not upset not ecstatic…….

Now the fill….. I got 2cc the Dr had problems getting in the port finally did but wants to do my next fill under fluoroscope.

What made me happy was I weighed 258 this morning in my sleeping shorts. The Dr's office weighs higher than my home scale but when I got there I weighed 258 that made me happy.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
