Well, I'm not really excited about starting this today, but here goes.

Last week: 222.8

This week: 223.8

Gained 1 pound.

Not really sure why. I did eat out twice this week, but my net calorie count was about the same as the past few weeks. My muscles are a bit sore from making some changes to my workout this week, and I remember being told once that that can make you weigh more. lol Grasping at straws here! I also haven't been getting enough sleep this week due to crazy work hours....there's that link between poor sleep and weight, right???

Anyway, not going to let it worry me. My goal is to be at 80 pounds lost on my surgeon's scale on my appt August 5 - 1 day after my bandiversary. I'm already there on my scale, but that's naked. Not gonna get nakey at the dr's office!

I lost .5lbs in 2 weeks. I can not complain. Sitting in meetings and snacking on goodies will do that. Have a great weekend everyone.:scared2:

Hey y'all!

Gained .2 this week. I ate trail mix right before bed last night, so except for that, probably would've stayed the same or down the .1 I was yesterday.

I'm really okay with this. I have a fill appt next Thursday for a fill I really needed last month and had to cancel so the fact that I've lost a little and am now staying pretty much the same, I'm happy with. Before surgery? Would never have happened like this!

Have a great week everyone!!

Hi!

I'm figuring you were talking to me. If you'll re-read my post you'll see that I am fine with this very slight gain. It's only .2. Nothing to have a fit over certainly! I'm pretty wide open right now b/c I do need a fill and I feel I'm doing great in spite of it.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Congratulations on your loss! Best wishes to you in your journey!

      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!!
