Wednesday Weigh-In's!

LW: 151 CW: 153 (think it's all the fluids from the IV on Sunday, and then really not wanting to do anything but drink for the last two days). I was up to 156 last night (Tuesday), then had a run on the restroom , literally, and this morning was down to 153. Expect another weight drop tomorrow, as if I wasn't at my desk today, I was running to T again!

Maybe you should repost tomorrow then. IV fluids really do a number on the weight. I'm with you on the running to the restroom thing....these first two days of the 5dpt have had me in there way too often!

I'll check in the morning and see if it's any different. I'm tired of seeing the restroom though! Seems like every time I turn around today, I'm racing back there. LOL Almost makes me think I don't want to drink anymore

Hi Molly!!! I uhm totally forgot about weigh in today... duh! So sorry about that... today is Wednesday isn't it? Sheesh! Well here is my story for post cruise... got up to 144 on the scale.. yes you heard me correctly. Could not fit into a single item of clothing and had to go downstairs and get the next size up.... uhm kill me? It was not fun! Today I am officially back into my "goal" clothes. YES! HW: 328 SW: 280 Lowest recorded weight (cannot remember last weight): 131.6 Current weight: 136! I have lost 8 lbs so far since monday doing the 5 day pouch test. I did subsititute shakes over the weekend tho at work also... so this maybe a lot of "water weight" as I am spending lots of time in the bathroom but I'll take it for now. What deals have I made.. honestly gaining a size in clothing was an eye opener.. it wasn't just fluid.. I totally ate my way to that point.. eating average of 2500-3000 cals a day.. go ahead flame me.. but i did. I was so nervous to get on that plane by myself.. 2 weeks prior to take off I started really getting off track (after my last pouch test). I continued to eat bad on the cruise and then for another week while PK was here (not bad foods.. just LOTS of them). So now I feel so much better.. I am so happy, I was so worried I would never lose the weight again and never gain the control.. the munchies I got from eating that way were totally uncontrollable.. the only way to get rid of them was to totally detox.. all shakes, jello.. etc.. like being a new postop all over again.. thats why the 5DPT works well for me. I know it gets a lot of slack and I even get a lot of slack from my own RNY friends for doing it. Some have even lurked over here (you know who you are) and found out I was doing it and don't support me in the decision to do it.. but ya know what? We all know whats best for us and what *WE* need to do to get back on track. I am proud of myself. I am also proud of you too Molly... so glad we all have each other to fight this battle with. We are now approaching 15 months out and this board is strong as ever.. I LOVE THAT! I really only wanna come to OH anymore to get the support from you all.. i have majorly drifted off all other boards. I may even apply for a part time position in the town's floral shop during the week.. wouldn't that be fun? Tomorrow is day 3 for me.. can't wait! Keep up the good work Molls!

I'm glad that those of you that get back on track with the 5dpt have it help you. So far, I know when I'm making a bad choice, but I'm not gaining, I don't do it that often, and I still really have to remember/force myself to eat on a regular basis. So, I haven't felt the need to do anything with my pouch other than poke him and tell him to "quit all that racket!" Stupid gurgles *mutters* Ro keeps telling me I just need to post my why's and wherefores of having surgery, so I don't seem to be a "stand off" in regards to still wanting to lose weight. She might be right, cause at times I feel like I don't really give all that much support, because as far as I'm concerned, I'm close to goal, but don't care if I make it, honestly, because my weight has never really been an issue for me (psychologically). I did the surgery purely for family history and the PCOS for trying to conceive. Being healthier was the plus side of the surgery for me. I don't suffer from head hunger, really bad eating choices (I wasn't a snacker before, and I'm still not), etc. But I really do applaud Molly, Melissa and Diana for continuing to work on their weight and eating habits. I do love our December board, and every once in a while I get curious and cruise through the RNY board, and I just want to beat my head against the desk. Someone needs to post board etiquette, and then someone needs to enforce it! The triple posts on same subject, on same day, KILLLLLLLL me!! *my daily rant would be about these*

Hi Heather! Thanks for saying you applaud us! You are doing so great with the mental stuff and I am so happy for you. When I am on my game I feel the same was as you and when I am off I am a lunatict. It's much easier just to stay "in the game". I hope things are going well with the fertility efforts.. I have been out of the loop lately with everyone and I feel so bad about that. I haven't even had the chance to go back and read all prior posts. Anything I should know? Me, nosey? Never
