Monday Weigh-In

Hey Guys,
How is everyone doing this week? So Doris had surgery last week, Marg is having hers today and I'm having mine done on Thursday! Isn't this an exciting time? Anyways, only 3 days left for me. My body went haywire this week. When I weighed myself Friday I had gained about 4 pounds since last weeks weigh-in. I couldn't understand it. I know I was taking the veggies I was allowed to but maybe I was taking too many? Anyways, since Friday, I've been having 2 shakes a day, 3 pickles in the morning, and a lightly grilled vegetable for supper. Today, the scale marks 377.4 pounds so I'm officialy under a BMI of 50, 0.8 pounds away from losing 30 pounds and 2.4 pounds away from hitting my goal of 375 pounds. I'm going to do the same thing I've been doing for the next 3 days and that I'm off to get this done! How was everyone elses week? 

Derek

Hi Derek,  glad to see that you are back in the right track.  I will send you positive vides on Thrusday and I am positive that everything will go fine.

One thing I would say, if you are able to take more shake until your surgery.  You don't want your mineral and vitamins to be too low. This is what Martine had told me as I was only getting 3 shakes a day, she was concerns.

As for me, the week was good, I have lost another 3.5 lbs.

Have a great week everone.

Nathalie

I am feeling great today just need to start eating. had 2 tbsp. of oatmeal this morning and it was good. I will sip on a shake for the day  also sip sip water. 2 oz. of low sodium chicken broth. Derek you will be soon back home it just goes so fast. I need to go back in 4 weeks for followup. Take care and be patient it won't be long now.    hugs    Doris QC.

Wow. I can't wait to taste food again. Congrats on your successful surgery Doris. Less than 48 hours to go.

Thanks for the tip Nathalie. I will try to keep it up. I had 3 shakes yesterday for the first time in 3 weeks.

Congrats on a good loss again this week. La prochaine fois qu'on va se voir on ne se reconnaitra plus. LOL

A bientot,
Derek

Hi Guys!

Glad to see that all 3 of you are doing well!

Derek: Wishing you the best surgery possible, the waiting game is inally coming to an end...Hard to believe, isn't it? May the force be with you buddy!

Nathalie: Nice loss again, congrats

Doris: Nice to eat again, eh? I never thought chicken broth could be addictive, but, believe me, it can be!

As far as I'm concerned, I got quite a snowshoeing workout last Friday, and snow shovlling/blowing keeps me warm! I thought I has gained about 3 pounds these last days but found out that most of it was crap (and that's a relief!)...

Have a good week!

Bonjour Joel! 
It's crazy. Not too long ago I was 2 years away and now I'm only 2 days away. It is hard to believe. I will or Cathou will update you all when I am feeling up to it.

48 hours to go! WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

Derek

Hi everyone.

You are all doing so great.

Derek 48 hours and you will on the bench !!!

Doris I'm happy to hear you are doing well and enjoying a few sips or bites of food.

Nathalie another great week... Keep it up !!!

Joel  still maintaining well. You seem to have found a good balance. Way to go!

For me in the past 2 weeks I lost about 2 pounds. We went to a winter camp last weekend and there was snacks and food everywhere but with lots of physical activities too.  So balanced out ok.

Cindy

Hi Gang!!  I am happy to see that everyone is doing well..
Derek, you are still doing great, even with all the stress and the fire...You'll be ready for thursday!
Nathalie and Cindy, congrats on your continued weight loss, you too are great vsg'ers!!

Doris, I am so happy you had an uneventful surgery, and that you are doing well, take care!

Wow Sarah, you are doing amazingly well, I am happy everything went well for your paniculectomy, and what a great weight loss... You'll reach all of your goals I am sure.

Joel, still maintaining well,  is it getting easier with time isn't it?

I am doing well, my knee healed well and doesn't get stuck anymore. I eat more, and still lose a little more weight here and then.  Have to work a little on my grazing habits...
Hubby is doing well, lost 85 pounds to date, eating more, and no more vomiting. He even had a small piece of pizza today!

So, hope everyone will have a great week, and getting ready to welcome Derek on the bench!

((hugs))

Hi gang! I am still hanging at 151 lbs but had the stomach flu the last few days and had major toilet dumping so I am thinking the scale went down a few pounds. I am slowly getting food back in and fluides. I've started a new job so I am working late hours so I don't get on the board as much as I like these days. You are all in my thoughts often though and miss chatting with you. Keep up all the good efforts and work. We all can do this together.
ps. Nathalie you need to update that picture of you! I want to see the new bod!
