I want in too!!

My surgery day and beginning stats are in my signature, but I'll do the weekly weigh-in starting now too. Monday works for me, except I won't be here next Monday so I'll do my weigh-in on Tuesday if you don't mind?

7-20-09 239.5

We could always come back next week and edit this post and add the next week's weight under this one. Has anyone tried that yet?

Hi there -

starting weight - 270

pre-surgery- 251

current weight- 234

Lost 36 pounds altogether and 17 pounds since my surgery on July 3rd. I am eating mushy food and can see that the weight loss has really slowed but as long as I don't go up I am not going to worry about it. I know that I can't eat like I used to and that the weight will come off eventually.

Is anybody exercising? That is my next goal. It is really a challenge for me to get off my ass.

Surgery Weight--270 (07/07/09)

Today's Weight--258 (07/27/09)

Last week I was at 262, so that's 4 pounds for me this week! I couldn't be happier. I expected a smaller amount since I went from liquids to pureed foods, but I guess this is what my body needs right now. Good luck to all!

Ugh, I didnt lose anything since last Monday. But I started mushies on Thursday and weighed myself then. I had lost another pound and a half. I gained that back since starting mushies. Im exactly where I was last Monday now. Im not going to be too hard on myself though. I honestly expected it because we put our bodies into starvation mode on this liquid diet. I think my body will stop freakin in the next few weeks. This was honestly to be expected. Its really not good to go down to like a five hundred calories a day which is about what I was doing on the liquid sugar free diet I was on for two weeks. Because as soon as you start feeding yourself again, your body treats 1200 calories like its 3000 because its hanging onto every single calorie afraid that your still starving. I think once my body is back on track in the next few weeks, I will have a good weight loss again. Gonna stay positive!! :crying:

Surg Date 7/16/2009

7/20/2009 -1.5 lbs total loss 1.5 lbs

7/23/2009 -1.5 lbs total loss 3.0 lbs

7/27/2009 +1.5 lbs total loss 1.5 lbs

hi everyone

Surgery weight 226.50

Last week weight 217.00

Today's weight 215.00

That is down 2 for me. I guess that isn't too bad since I am on 'regular' food. The goal is 1-2 lbs a week. So, there you go!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
