Weekly Check-in: Pre-op, Post-op, Non-op Welcome!!

Hope everyone is doing better than me. 

I've been super busy this weekend -- so much so that I had a back ache when I went to bed last night from moving around so much. This morning I woke up parched, even though I got my 64 oz of water in easily yesterday. I thought for a minute -- maybe something's happening with my weight.

Umm, yeah, WRONG DIRECTION! Once again, three steps forward, four back! What happened to 257?

Starting Weight: 388
Last Week: 263
Today: 265

The good news is I think I am a solid size 24 in pants. Now I'm debating whether to stick it out with baggy 26s or go shopping. 

Highest Weight - 400
Surgery Weight - 354
Last Week - 302.6
Today's Weight - 302.6

Same exact weight this week!  Thinking on the positive side, I did have surgery on Wednesday to remove those adhesions and gained some water weight and that is off (3 lbs).  Hoping to be in the 200's by the end of this week!  I am drinking the heck out of my water and trying to focus on my protein...although the super bowl party didn't help.  I had 2 meatballs (good protein but high in fat), some little weenies (not to bad on the carbs), and 2 pizza rolls and 2 chips.  Can you say CARB OVERLOAD?

I am determined to drop the snacking and carbs this week and plan to have Wendy's chili for lunch!  Can't wait!

Hope everyone has a good week.

Next stop twoderville, you'll be there before you know it!
 

PIZZA ROLLS, oh how I love thee. 

 

You're soooo close!  Only another WI or two away!  Hang in there :)

HW: 361
SW: 350 (11 lost during liquids)
LW: 285
TW: 281


Patti I am sorry to see you have been struggling and feel for you, it is soooooo frustrating, but I bet it drops in the next couple of days. Whenever my weight on the scale seems wonky for a couple of days a see a drop that follows, so here's hoping this holds true for you too.

I certainly can not complain total 80 down, hoping to get rid of 100 by my 6 mos post op appt on 3-22. (would love 111 to account for the pre-op weight loss as well, but it isn't likely, Ha!) that and I plan on getting on a plane 3-23 to go see friends that haven't seen me since pre-op.

Hi All,

       I want to join y'all.  My surgery is on Wed and I am getting kinda crazy  Actually, I am feeling calm but I am sure come Tuesday night I will be super anxious.  I am at 323 lbs right now and can't wait til I reached the 200's!  I am doing full liquids for three days and I think not obsessing about food and then gorging has helped me keep calm since I started the pre-op a couple of weeks ago.
Wish me luck and I will meet y'all on the losers' bench soon

Welcome, Lilac!  :)   Patti, when in doubt, go shoppin!!!!!! 

Highest Weight - 380
Surgery Weight (Nov. 17 '09)- 344
Last Week - 301
Today's Weight - 296 (official WI tomorrow)

Things here are good.  Still not used to seeing the scale number start with a 2, or even the action of typing my weight and not immediately typing "3..."  Very odd! 

My next goal is to hit 100 lbs down.  16 pounds to go!   I can't decide if I'll get my hair done or get a massage as my reward... I'm in desperate need of both! LOL

I have no idea!! I hate this!

I moved yesterday and have no idea where the scale is!

Thankfully, I have my 6 month eval this Thurs so I'll let you know then.......

ps. moving was super stressfull and I stress ate, so I'm not super hopeful, on the flipside- I now live in a 3rd floor walkup so that may help?

Good Morning!

I too was super busy this weekend... and a bit sore from a girls night out adventure Saturday night - was so much fun to get my dance on!!!  And you know that feeling when you are really liking your outfit... yep... it was a Good Night!

Highest Weight - 330
Surgery Weight - 305
Last Week - 227
Today's Weight - 227

I've been really bumping up my exercise these days.. which unfortunately makes me lose weight so slow... Im told its all waterweight and body changes... but no matter...  I feel great.. so I'm focusing on that instead of the scale... Therin lies my true battle of wills... my will power vs. the scale number!  It could have been really bad this morning since I watched the SuperBowl yesterday (Yay Saints!!!) and munched (on healthy snacks) all day!!!

Love & Hugs!!! 

Today is my birthday about which I'm not very excited. I'm 36 today. Now closer to 40 than 30 but oh well. After today I won't allow myself to be upset about it anymore.

Starting weight - 322
Day of surgery - 302.3
Last week - 263.8
This week - 258.8

I'm super excited to be in the 250s although I was at 258 even earlier this week (perhaps that has something to do with the Coldstone ice cream I had for my birthday celebration).

Hope everyone has a good week!
