Friday Weigh Ins



Recommended Posts

I was thinking just that about my weight I've got 7 to make my goal for the challange. Makes me reconsider if I want to commit to future challenges.

JayTee! You are a big part of what keeps me on track! We're almost neck-and-neck throughout (although you're always just a bit ahead). :biggrin: You're highest was 328, mine was 327. We both lost about 30 lbs before surgery and are currently just two pounds apart. A challenge helps give us a short-term goal to work toward, because too often the big goal gets blurry throughout the ups and downs. Please don't be discouraged, but congratulate yourself that you've done this great so far! Remember that others may be seeing your progress as encouragement to keep pushing!

HI everyone! I have been MIA from the site. Had a couple of business trips to make and that always gets me messed up. My wwight as of this friday 6/19 is 229 even. I think that is down about a pound. I actually had a 2 pound gain after my fill (2 weeks ago). Shoot fire fuzzy, I can eat more after the fill than I could before! I had been hungry for so long that I over did it for a few days. Still gotta watch myself. I am an afternoon / early evening eater.

Thanks Kaner I will strive to continue my progress so that you are challenged........lol

This morning I was thinking I commited to the band instead of bypass even though I knew the loss was slower and now I'm getting frustrated at the rate. I'm trying to remind my self slow and steady wins the race and already have noticeable difference.

I'm suppose to go to 1 year of support group but I really get more support here than I get there you all know me so much better.

Thanks to everyone for the encouragement and support.

Hey there, JT, I'm not going to be able to make my goal either, right now I'm going to have to lose 10 pds. also, and that's just not going to happen!!! But, like you, that's why I chose the LB, to lose this weight slowly. It's the best way and the safest way ! We didn't get this way over night and it's not coming off that way ! I just set my goal too high, but what I am doing, is ENJOYING the losses that I have !!! Not to mention all the cloths that I've hidden back, that I can wear now !! Hang in there and on the next challenge, lets be realistic !!!

Hi guys. Didn't want to post because I didn't lose any weight. Oh well....having tons of sweets that the family reunion had nothing to do with that I'm sure! Back on target....

Oh and I decided not to do a weight loss challenge this early out. I am already down on myself now and I don't want to add another reason to it....Keep up the good work everyone!

KMCD: Keep your chin up - we are all going to have "family reunions" or other events, incidents, etc that are going to cause us to get off track for a day, a few days.....but don't give up. Get back on track tomorrow!

A few weeks ago, I had a Saturday night when I went to TGIFriday's for dinner and ate 2 cheeseburger sliders and then later, went to Coldstone Creamery for ice cream. I gained 2 lbs that weekend, and I was so mad at myself. The ice cream was not worth the 2 lbs.

This journey is all about baby-steps and the more steps we take, the easier it will get. Sometime soon, you will go to an event and the sweets will not control you. Tomorrow is a new day, so hang in there! :)

FRIDAY WEIGH INS

26 JUNE 09

********************

Hey all

Weighed in today with a gain 125.8kg.

Up 900g.

Feeling VERY angry with myself but trying to be really insightful and real with myself - as you can't change what you don't acknowledge. I guess I have been expecting the band to do more than it has. I guess I poopooed the "the band is a tool" comments on here thinking it was a magic cure. But I think I have clicked.

The band just makes me "normal" in terms of metabolism etc. If I want to lose weight - I will still have to do this bit myself! eg. diet & exercise. Which is okay and I shouldn't be surprised, but I guess I am scared - because I have been in the "you need to diet & exercise" role for my whole life - and that obviously didn't work - so it scares me that I can't do this. Anyway, rant over!!

LAST WEEK'S WINNER WAS KANER!!!!!! WITH 6LB!@!!! You go girl!!

Look forward to hearing your weigh ins today!

I've gained 0.4 lbs this week. I am beginning to not like my scale much :-( I got my 2nd fill last week too and it was good for a couple of days. The only difference is that I get stuck more often I guess from eating too fast and not chew enough but I can still eat a lot for a lap band person. I currently have 5.6 cc in my band.

Have a great weekend guys,

Alisa

Weighed in today at 223. Had my third fill this week and still gained. I found out I have a 10cc band and have a whopping 2.8 cc's in it. Ready to get this ball rolling and get closer to restriction!!!! This slow process is really starting to get old- gotta work today on changing my mindset. We will all get there- maybe not by tonight but it will happen.

Still hovering around 196. Today, I was 196.8 (I guess that's up .6?), that's up, but at least it's not way up. Had a tragic week. My ex-husband is dying and my daughter is beside herself. Cancer sucks! Ate too many sweets this week and didn't work out at all. Just felt sad and worried about my daughter. Next week will be better.... I'm thinking about going in for another adjustment. Was looking at a pair of pants (size 10's) and just dreaming about fitting into them. I give myself a year and I hope and pray I will be there...

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
