I lost 1 pound, which puts me right at the half-way mark.

I have my first fill in just a few days.

Thanks!! :)

Hi there, was hoping you could guide me through the weight ticker process.....I had one....forgot my password....made a new one....but can seem to add it to my signature??? what am I doing wrong?? where do I put the copy and paste??? If you can help me out, I would love to update my weight loss.

Thanks, had a new refill, getting closer to 199 lb. Hope all is going good with your weight loss.

pvtash, if you go up to you login name in the right-hand corner of this page, right below it is a button that says "Quick Links." Click on that once, and a drop-down menu will appear. Near the bottom is "Edit Signature." Click on that, and it will take you to where you need to paste the code that you copied from the ticker factory.

You need to be sure you have carefully copied all characters in that long string of code or it won't show up correctly. There is a preview button underneath the edit signature box so you can make sure you got it right.

Good luck! :smile2:

Down only 1lb this week. Slowing down just as I thought it would.

Scheduled 1st fill for 7/27/09, YAY!. That will be my two month mark. I am more than ready.

As always, it's great to read all of your posts.

Well this wasn't the greatest week, but at least I didn't gain or stay the same, and I'm finally out of the 260's!

July 3rd- 260

July 10th- 259.5

I'm going to attribute this to it being that time of the month and I'm really bloated....

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE WEIGHING IN TODAY!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
