Topic: RE: MN group will always be "home" so now I need help
Thank you both. I think having people who have been through WLS to talk to is a big part of being sucessful with long term weight loss. I appreciate the feedback from both of you. Its a new year and a great time to get back on track and lose the baby weight as well as regain the good habits that got me to my original weight loss sucess.
Topic: RE: The New Year Fresh Start weigh-in thread
I like this idea and am somewhat new here. I had a VSG on 9/1/11. Here goes...
Heaviest 210 lbs.
Pre-VSG Journey weight 195 lbs
Last week 154
This week 154
Christmas and New Year's have come and gone and I have stayed the same for the past two weeks. I am ok with that. It's good to have a fresh start in the New Year and to get back to routines, which we lacked over the holidays. Here's to a great 2012~!

Yep, the one meal a day grazing diet is a real killer.....You are not alone there. I am thankful that the holidays are behind us. On to the "today is the first day...." No more of the "Manana Diet" waiting until tomorrow....
Lets do the submarine diet....submerging our weight and going down.

Topic: RE: South of the River Coffee peeps--tomorrow?
We ended up with seven peeps, and had a good time. Unfortunately some of the posts were on FB so MN OH people were not aware others would show. I had a full weekend so I wasn't sure I would go but in the end did.
So to next weekend at Eagan. See you then.

I'm with you! I'm up .8 this week. Not much, but I'm still in the early losing phase and don't want to screw this up! I am back to full liquids for this week to purge the carbs from my system and stop the constant hand-to-mouth pattern that's been going on. Hopefully it'll slap me back into my GOOD habits and produce a nice weightloss as well. Onederland is still right around the corner. I was hoping to be there for the new year, but the holidays got the best of me. I've had my fill and I'm done!
Have a great week, everybody- see you at coffee (finally!) next week!

Okay, for those of you who are newer, or haven't been around for awhile, some of us post our weight, both ups and downs, each week on Monday in order to stay accountable. You can post your weight or not, as you choose, but it is a good chance to check in with a support group and be honest with yourself about your status.
So here's mine: I've had a lot of trouble with the holiday sweets. I've always had a sweet tooth, and it is back with a vengeance. It's time to get all this stuff out of my house! I have been pretty consistent in my exercising, so that has helped, but I still freaked out on the scale this morning. Time to buckle down!!
Starting weight: 298.4 lbs
Last week: 140.7 lbs
This week: 142.0
Gain of 1.3 lbs! I am now 2 lbs OVER my "freak-out" number! AAAGH! (That's me, freaking out.)
Still running and cross-training consistently, but I need to get back to protein first, limit the night-time snacking and permissive "treats." New year, fresh new start. Who's with me?

Topic: RE: 5 Day Pouch Diet... Day 1
I haven't done the pouch test and I have a sleeve. But, along the same lines, I am self-imposing my liquids only diet on myself to try and kick the grazing/carb habit I started back up over the holidays. I'm thinking 5-7 days. I've been fine so far today- not hungry or desperately craving anything yet...
Keep us posted how it goes for you! :)

Hi Marsha. What an awful experience you had yesterday... ugh! ... I found some good info on the 5 day pouch diet just by going to the website www.5daypouchdiet.com ... I started it this morning and so far have had 16 ounces of water and a protein shake. I feel like I am starving right now and am having a difficult time being at home and trying to resist all of the holiday leftovers but am bound and determined to do this... Michelle
