September Sumurais - Roll Call

Hi Sept. peps!

My name is Gina. I am 9 weeks out and I weighed at 218 on the day of my surgery.  Today I weighed in at 180.  So that is a total of what...38lb in 9 weeks.  Holly cow that is fantastic!  My starting wt. in the WLS program was 246lb so all together I have lost 66lb this year!  And the year is not over yet!  My goal is to weigh 150 so I only have 30lb to go.  I am very excited to get there and get toned up and strong.  I may never run (because of my back) but I would love to set an amazing goal for myself...  I will think of something.  Maybe a big hike or something!  I will keep you all posted.

Congratulations to everyone and remember attitude is 80% of life.  Think positive and great things will keep happening for you!

Take care!

You must be feeling awesome.  Your BMI is way down and you are looking fantastic!!!!

Hey, it's me, Crysti

I just blogged about this on my page.

Dec 12th is my 3 month surgiversary and I haven't lost 1 lb since 2 months.

I'm frustrated to no end and really sad.  But at least I haven't gained back any of the 55 I've already lost.  It's just frustrating.  *sigh*

Congrats to all you though, you're doing fantastic!!

I would say that 55 lbs is a lot to lose in two months.  Your body is just adjusting.  Up the protein and you will be just fine.  I notice the more water I drink the more I lose.

Hello. I'm Heather from Long Island, NY. I keep forgetting to check this page. I'm sorry.

I'll be 10 weeks out on Wednesday 12/3. I am down 60 pounds total today.
On Thanksgiving I went looking for clothes and discovered my "pretty" wardrobe from 5-7 years ago when I worked in NYC, fit me again. I feel like I got a closet full of presents. I actually cried.

I have a hard time remembering all of my vitamins. I haven't found a method to remind me of my schedule that works for me. I also realize when I'm home on weekends, I don't drink enough water. Other than that, I am doing very well. I feel great. I can keep up with my toddler and I have more energy than I can remember having in the past 10 years.

YAY RNY!

Heather you are doing great.  As for the vitamins I always forget a couple on the weekend but I get them all in on the weekdays.  You are doing fantastic.  Keep up the great work.

Aloha,

I am struggling this week.  Despite my lower BMI I still have all of the same issues as many others.  I forget to drink enough water lately, I am once again in a stall, I forget some days to take all of my vitamins, and I deal with a lot of negative feelings about myself (despite the fact that I should be doing back flips every day about my wt. loss).  So, I feel funky about that too.  I also struggle from day to day in being consistent with food.  Some days I eat well and other days I do not eat anything but protein drinks & protein bars.  Some days I am ravished and other days I could care less about food.

Things are getting better...  I am not trying to sound like a whinny baby.  But, we are all going to have good and bad days for a while... I am aiming for better days more often, but today I have been a bit moody!  Oh no!!! lol!

Hope you all have had a better day than I did.  I should not complain.  It was a productive day, but I hurt my back and that is probably why I feel moody tonight.  Pain always does that to me...

Take care y'all I will check in again soon.
