Weekly Weigh In week of 6/18

YOU ARE GOING TO BE A KNOCK OUT!!!! I cannot wait to see pictures

Well I didn't post last week because I had gained 4 lbs. I don't know how but I have lost 3 back this week. It was very depressing. I started upping my protein again. starting 242 current 168 don't remember what it was before but I think it was 167. hoping I am heading back into the right direction again.

Barb! Always know that YOU will not be judged here! Come here for support if you have gained ... we all have bad days - weeks - the point is we get through them and continue on towards our goals! look at what you have done so far 242 -168 ------- 74 pounds lost ... that is something to be very proud of! hugs, Britt

Guess feeling sick can have it's advantages, over the last month or so I was starting to feel like that I was able to eat more than I had been able to eat before, too much even but I was still losing weight and didn't give it to much more thought. Then about two weeks ago my pouch felt like it did a 180 and just a bite or two would make me feel full or even kind of sick. Then on Tuesday morning I awoke to the worst pain across the lower portion of my ribs in the area of where my pouch is. It was probably one of the worst pains I have even experienced, it was so bad I couldn't even move for about an half hour after managing to take one of my pain pills. I called my Doctor and he sent me for a CT/scan today, now I guess I will have to wait for the results. On the bright side the pain left up that day and now with only being able to eat small amounts again like I did when my pouch was new I managed to drop 15 pounds this week, I don't know for sure if this is a good thing or bad I guess I will find out after my tests.

Hi I weight my self today and weight 171 and very happy with my weight lost. I'm only 10 away from weight before having kids (160). It will be great went this happens and very close to getting there. pre-op weight 275. I try not to weight my self to much because surgeon told me that what would happen will be that there will be times were I don't loose any weight but that I will loose inches. so I'm trying to not focus so much on the scale but on how I do with the eating and exercise.was getting very fustrated went did not loose any weight and would get into panic mode so this is why I been focus on the eating and exercise!.
