Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Holly - I hear ya, even after my PS, I look in the mirror and I know I don't look heavy like I was before WLS, not even close, but I feel chubby. Is that how you feel? Even after my tummy tuck and breast lift, I'm still not happy like I know I should be. I'm so critical of myself. Now I want my arms done and a butt lift. LOL!! Congrats on being 1/2 the person you used to be. NOW STOP LOSING!!! You're BMI is on the low side! But how awesome do you feel? I wonder if having busy triplets is what keeps the weight coming off? lol!

Good evening wonderful people. Thanks so much for your words of wisdom! HW 280's PreOP 267 Last week 166.2 Today: 167.2 I am still 100 pounds lighter....still....I will take that with a smile! Ok, so I thought about this...I am coming off of the Depo Provera shot after almost 8 years and have had my period for the last month and a half, heavy...not just a light one. I am wondering if this weight that is crazy up and down..is related to this. Please my last apt with the surgeon, he said I had a huge Vitamin D issue. I was 16 and it was supposed to be 30. I am now on pills for that as well. With the Vitamin D issue, and not being super obese, I was told that I needed to change birth control because the Depo is a pre-curser to Osteopenia with causes osteoporosis! I don't want broken bones every where!

Laura, 100 lbs is awesome. You should be very proud of yourself. And the one lb difference from last week? My weight goes up and down 2-3 lbs a weeks, so please don't be concerned about that. Hopefully when you get your vitamin d level up and swith birth control pills, that will kick your body into gear. But still, YOU HAVE LOST 100 LBS!!!

I absolutely think that the Depo could have something to do with your weight...any flux in hormones can have various effects throughout the body. As for the Vit D....get a little extra sunlight, too. Sunlight helps your body to produce Vit D. http://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/vitamind.asp Thought that you might like to read this article to get an idea of how and why Vit D works the way it does. And, you are over 100#'s down from your highest weight...definitely something to be proud of!! ~Suz

Laura- I take 50,000 mg of Vit D once a week cuz mine was low too- that was one of the reasons they had me do the bone scan- my bone scan came back fine by the way. Have they done a full blood test- my other stuff was wacky too... Holly

Love you picture!! you look amazing!!

Stephanie! I know you were worried because you had gained a couple weeks back, but look at you now, 2 #'s in a week is great this far out. We need an updated pic of you! Here are my stats HW 238 SW 225 LW 120? TW 121

Thanks Janie!! I have not taken any pictures lately!! But I have to do so soon...I tried on my old "skinny" jeans from before wls and I could get my body in one pant leg! I was like wow!! I will have to post that one soon!

Stephanie, wooooohoooooo a 2# loss in a week is so awesome!!! Keep up the hard work. I'm at a .2 gain but that's okay will still work on it. I've upped my protein this week so maybe that will help. Preparing for my ps next month. I am so excited to finally be at the last leg of my journey. Anyway here are my stats. HW 270 SW 255 LW 141.2 CW 141.4 I'm hoping to see the drop this next week as I am doing my version of the 5 day pouch test again and that's what I had to do to get to a normal BMI last time. Stupid conference food was amazingly tasty and I ate way too much. Anna

Thanks Anna!
