Weighed in this AM @ 234 lbs. Down 2 lbs since last week. Went to the Doc last night, did not tighten the band as I still have restirction. He didn't want to mess with it...If it's not broke, don't fix it.

My goal of 223 lbs is in sight. :biggrin::w00t: When I hit goal, the Doc will open the band just a little so not to lose anymore....THAT MAKES ME NERVOUS.......I am afraid that I will start to gain back the weight. Will have to watch it closely.......

Awesome job John! You are such an inspiration!

Last Friday- 237.5

today- 237.5

No loss. i'm so bummed. This hasn't happened since surgery. I've lost one pound in two weeks. I have an appt with surgeon next monday for another fill. But also, I started new birth control pills and that's when this all started. So upset right now.

Down 1.6 this week to 178.6. A little at a time. I can't wait until my second fill on Mon. I hope they do 3cc's like last time. That would make me two thirds full. I am eating too much, too fast again. I have to keep a handle on that.

John, what is opening the band? An unfill? That would make me nervous too.

Congrats. to everyone this week. Hope next week is great!

I actually gained 2 lbs this week and I'm not upset about it at all. I was told when I was unfilled that I would probably gain something or stay the same since I was technically in starvation mode (for all that don't know- I was a few days away from being hospitalized for dehydration and malnutrition) and not getting the proper nutritiants because of how tight my band was. So I'm embracing the 2 lbs, because I know now, That I will lose them and more, and It's just my bodies way of saying thank you (for the moment)

rguay - I will probably get an unfill at my next appt. We'll see. I've been training myself to eat less and the idea of an unfill makes me nervous. You are doing great.....keep up the good work.

Carrie - Thanks for your praise. Losing one pound is still losing one pound. Keep it up......:biggrin:

Sarahbellzz14-4 - Well put.....Well put... Your body is saying thanks you and you are right, your reward will be losing at least two lbs this week.:biggrin:

In the last week couple of weeks I had gained 3 pounds because of getting off of 1 of my blood pressure meds (a diuretic) and 1/2 of the other one. Well, finally I took those 3 back off plus 1 more pound. Yahoo! (when I started taking bp meds several years ago I lost 8 pounds in 1 week), so I am just pleased that I had only gained 3 from stopping them. I had expected that, but I'm past the hump now. GB

Weighed in this morning @ 232 lbs. Down 2 more lbs. Total 105 lbs. Can't believe that the last fill on 8/25/09 is still giving me good restriction.

My goal is 223, my Doc wants me to try and get to 220. We'll see. Watching muscle mass as I'm starting to lose some and I really don't want to. All in all, a great experience. :scared2:

John you are simply amazing! Good job! I'm sure you'll have no problem getting to 220!

As for me:

Last Friday 237.5

Today 234.5

Finally after a couple of weeks, I'm seeing some progress! I finally hit 60 pounds! I'm excited!

Congratulations, John and Carrie! Woohoo! :scared2:

I didn't weigh in last week (traveling) so in the last two weeks, I lost 3.5 lbs, for a total of 69.5. :)

John, try not to worry too much about those extra 3 lbs. the doc wants you to lose. Think of it as a good buffer. ;-)

      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!!
