Down 2lbs this week, possibly more..... Not in a good way either, I was in the hospital for 2 days, and rigged on IV fluids, and it was my surgeon who admitted me and stuck me on liquids for a week. Completely not band related, but because he is a Laparoscopic surgeon in general (not just WLS) he wanted me free of food in case he had to do emergency surgery. I had an ovarian cyst burst, thought it was my gall bladder, then they thought my kidneys, ruled out appendix immediately.. so thats whats up

Wow Sarah, hope you feel better soon. That's two lbs the hard way.

Finally made my 50lbs goal. My loss is very slow but at least I am still moving in the right direction.

Have a good week everyone.

Thank you John and R... feeling a lot better, weighed myself this morning because my system is finally "back to normal" so the true number is 4lbs. Feeling good about that. And now that I'm back to taking the train to work, I should be losing again (DH is off in the winter months so I drive) Here's to being back on track and R, Congrats on the 50lb mark!!!!!!!! I'm slow at hitting it as well... So we're in this together, I have about 6 or 7 till I hit that mark! WTG!

No loss this week. Thanks to my sweet husband cleaning up after dinner, I have finally worked in a time to start walking on my treadmill. When I lived on Catalina Island I walked 40 min. on my lunch everyday, and it is a big help.

I am hoping to get my metabolism running a little faster.

Good luck to everyone next week!

yay...finally I see a loss on the scale. I have been workingout like a mad women. Between running a couple miles every night and doing strength training I have finally lost 3 pounds this week! I have lost inches and gained a lot of muscle but I was getting discouraged not seeing the scale move! I am just wanting to get close to goal before my Tummy Tuck on may 17th! good luck to all of you this week on losing more weight!

Sarah, glad to hear you are feeling better. How scary!

Rebecca, congrats on hitting the 50 lb. mark!

John, great job w/your Mexico trip!

LOM, keep up the great work! WTG!

Me, I still haven't lost anything ... ping-ponging up and down 1-2 pounds and getting terribly frustrated. Went back to tracking on the Daily Plate yesterday, so I hope that helps. Need to get more exercise in now that the warm weather is finally here!!

scale says 186.5 today but I'm visiting my parents so it's not my normal one. I'm with holding updating the ticker until I can confirm it on my regular one, haha! Needless to say I like this scale a lot more. Might have to steal it, even.

well, I am back to bouncing up and down the same 3 pounds. I feel like I need a little fill but I will wait till after my surgery next month because I hear your stomach can swell after surgery. I will hang in there and keep working out like crazy. I am just frustrated this last 17 pounds is holding on for dear life!!! Oh and for the last couple weeks by early afternoon I have no energy and I mean so bad that I crash for an hour or 2 before I can even function again. I think I need to start taking vitamins....I know I should have been on them from the start. I had my pharmacy order some chewable adult Vitamins and I took my first one today....I REALLY hope it helps! Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Ann yes it is very frustrating! I feel like I am doing everything right but getting very discouraged. I run myself ragged and still the pounds dont want to leave! Well, hopefully we can have a break through and get rid of the last bit of pounds!

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
