Topic: RE: Monday Morning Weigh-Ins
The plastic surgery board on here has tons of information and quite a few people who have gone to Mexico for their procedures. Everyone is very helpful to share and give information regarding their experiences. What procedures are you thinking you want done?

My weight has been jumping all over the place during the week...but come Monday...it's right back where it should be? Weird. It's probably due to red wine and candy during the week. I'm a bad girl...but I love, love, love dark chocolate. Halloween candy usually doesn't do me in...except Reeses PB Cups...mmmm. lol. I hope to make it out alive this year. :o)
Congrats on plastics coming so soon. I have the money lined up, and the surgeon chosen, but for some reason I'm dragging my feet a bit. Nervous, I guess? Strange because I want it done so badly...but I am afraid to commit to a date. I think I need to network a bit with others who have gone to Dr. Q in Mexico...find out all the ins-and-outs of surgery outside of the US. Maybe then I'll finally call to set a date.

Hello Suzie
Fess up is right - I was up like 4 pounds up on Monday - 172 - yikes! 170 is my red light - warning - flashing neon sign weight. I think it must have been all the candy at work lately - why does Halloween mean candy??? Also, a bad effect of living here in the Midwest - as the weather changes and cools off I just want to go into hibernation mode and eat. Well all that is no excuse so I got on the treadmill Monday and Tuesday night. Have not had a chance yet tonight and it's getting late - but I will make up for it!
Tuesday I had my pre-op appointment with my plastic surgeon. I am having my tummy tuck on Nov 12th. I'm making my lists tonight - what to buy before surgery, what to do before surgery - etc. You all remember the drill. I think I might be down just a tad longer with this then the RNY though. I'm so excited and looking forward to it though.
Have a fabulous week!

Sounds like a fun weekend, Darlene...I have never scrapbooked in my life! I'm lucky to get the pics in my computer and edited. lol.
I agree, your gain was probably due to water gain...but that could actually be due to not moving around as usual, rather than just not drinking enough. I've noticed I will gain a lot of water weight (obvious edema) if I have been doing a lot of sitting for a couple of days, instead of keeping as active as I usually am. But, a few days of being my normal, fidgety self...and I'm back down on the scale and the water weight is gone.

I always get that TOM gain, as well...and it is usually followed by a bit of an extra loss...at least for a few days.

Good luck giving up the
. That I can give up (mostly), but Click and chai tea? They are my crack and you can just forget asking me to give that up! lol.

Good Afternoon!
Well, after a week of no scale and constantly missing it. I spent 3 lovely days at a scrapbooking retreat. It's a first for me, but I will never miss another one. It was absolutely great! Looking back, I made good food choices; however, I didn't get enough water in and it showed this morning. I was up 2 lbs and the water intake was the only thing I could blame it on. It's okay though as the weekend was one to remember for a long, long time.
Surgery/High: 314/342
Goals.....Doctors/Mine: 198/150
Last week: 247
This week: 249
Have a great week everyone! After scrapping from 11:00 am - 2 am for the last 3 days.....I'm pooped. lol

The weather here has been awesome. Beautiful again today. Counting my yard work on Saturday as exercise ;)
I was up 2 pounds this morning, but it's that time of the month so nothing unexpected.
Looking forward to a great week. Drinking more water and less coffee will be my goal this week! That ole coffee bloat feeling is yuck!

Good Monday Morning My January Lovelies!
Haven't weighed yet this morning...but I will be back to post that info as soon as I have. I just wanted to get this up and ready for anyone who wanted to check in. So let's hear it ladies!!! What was your week like?
Ok...back to post my numbers for the week:
Surgery/high: 251.5
Last Monday: 140.4
Today: 141
A bit of an upward trend this week...I blame it on the wine and dinner out with some old friends from high school on Saturday. It was a great time and well worth a smidge of a gain.
