OK, I guess I spoke too soon last week. I am up 1.5 lbs this week, and I don't really know why....ok, yes I do. I haven't eaten great volumes of food, but I have let sugar slip back in (sneaky sneaky), and I have not been getting my Protein or my Water in.

LW - 196

Current 197.5 :thumbup:

I hear you Mary....Good for you for getting back on track! Thats the key! I'll admit, part of me was just gonna blow by today's weigh in....but here i am. I'm eating solid, but just too much i guess..tho I'm staying with good high protein foods..so i dont get it. Sigh...

surgery wt: 244.7

last week: 225.6

this week: 226.0

I have been going up and down for so long now! I go in to the Dr. again on Wednesday. Im thinking he might do a slight fill - I dont anticipate any huge amount because I already have 7cc's in my 11 cc band..maybe just a slight amount will do the trick!

Good luck all!

195 last week, 192 this week. Surprised me because I haven't changed much. Go for my third fill today so we'll see what next week looks like!

I haven't eaten great volumes of food, but I have let sugar slip back in (sneaky sneaky), and I have not been getting my Protein or my Water in. So, in the past I would not have posted, waited till I was down some more and then come back, but I am pressing the restart button right now. I got up at 6AM and got my walk in (was getting slack on that too), had a Protein Shake for Breakfast, and I am back on track. Just like that. So, I am not going to change my ticker, but I will next week, no matter what. Even though I have to go public with my failures, I will give myself that little bit of grace. :cursing:

I hope everyone else has GOOD news to report. I will next week!

LW - 196

Current 197.5 :scared2:

That is awesome that you posted, Mary. I, too, am trying to change my bad habits. That is why I post so much... to 'stay in the game'. Not slink away and go back to my old ways. I am sure you will get that pesky pound to go away quickly!

Ok..after a month of struggling had a slight fill on wednesday - and I can finally post a loss again...

surgery wt: 244.7

last week: 226.0

this week: 223.4

My doctor did a 1.5cc fill, but couldnt swallow Water, so he took out the .5 and i ended up with 1cc. This is now a total of 8cc's in my 11cc band. He told me to amp up the exercise (urgh)....

We'll see..this is an all time low for me - I'm soooo wanting to get below 220 and then the goal will be to be under 200#'s..that almost seems impossible to me...but baby steps..I'll work towards under 220 first!

ok, so I have been avoiding the weekly weigh in because I felt like I wasn't doing that great. It is up and down all week but by the end of the week its down a bit.

7/6/09 251

10/26/09 209.5

I have only lost about 5 pounds in 6 weeks which is frustrating because I was losing about 3 pounds a week. Oh well a loss is a loss.

I'm new to this thread hope you all don't mind if I join. I had surgery July 7th. Starting weight was 308lbs. I'm now down to 277lbs. So I'm at 31 down. I have had a doctor visit once a month since surgery and had two fills. I have 4cc in band. I need to get back on track with eating more healthy. This year has been extremely tough though. I have lost my Mom to breast Cancer and my husband farms so this time of the year during harvest I feel depressed and think I turn to the wrong things. Not all the time but enough to get frustrated. I usally don't eat a whole lot but know I choose the wrong things. :( I'm hoping being on here will give me the will power I need to get started on the right track again.

      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!!
