TURKEY DAY Challenge 2009



Recommended Posts

I finally hit 75 pounds! Just yesterday, and today, another pound. The scales seem to have caught up with what I'm doing, and I think I finally hit my sweet spot--I can only eat about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup of food at a time and stay full for 5 or more hours...so THIS is what it's supposed to feel like! well, it's a DAMN good feeling!!! :thumbup: I might actually make my goal...

I just added myself to the list. It's so nice to share your goals with others, it tends to keep you focused and motivated. I have given myself a huge goal and I am going to need to work really hard to meet it. I want to be down to 175 by Thanksgiving. That is losing an average of 3.25 pounds per week. My first fill isn't until October 26 so these next few weeks will be challenging. I believe if I focus, I can do it!! :wink2:

This sounds like fun! I was just banded a week ago so I don't really know how much I can expect to lose between now and Thanksgiving. Will try for 10 pounds. Going to add my name to the spreadsheet.

I am down a pound as well!

I added my name to the spreadsheet yesterday but the columns that auto-calculate didn't kick in for me.

I fixed the formulae for folks that noted they were having issues. I fixed the "weeks left" formula for most everyone (there was a problem), and I alphabetized the newcomers.

Welcome and good luck to all!

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
