5/31 Weekly Weigh-in / Coming clean
I didn't see this started yet, so hopefully Patti doesn't mind if I get it going. I don't really WANT to as I'm really bummed about my own weigh in, but the accountability helps significantly.
Did you guys have a nice weekend??? We definitely did. A few days to relax was much needed.
HW: 380
SW: 336
Last week: 252.2
This week: 253 (gain of .8 -my first gain since immediately post-op :( )
So here's where I'm going wrong:
1. Too much salt. Need to back off the sodium. I'm waking up with my fingers feeling like sausages.
2. Indulging in too many iced coffees with skim milk from Dunkin Donuts. Since drinking more of these, I've drank less plain water.
3. Skipped journaling (typically I do on a piece of paper or in WordPad even if I haven't posted here, but the past few days I didn't)
4. Letting too many carbs in and not making sure I eat some protein WITH the carb. Still don't eat white bread, pasta, rice, etc. but have had baked sweet potato fries (see #1 with salt) two days in a row, and too many crackers and protein cookie bites, pretzels, or cereal from Kay's Naturals.
Lesson learned?
There are still things that I can't have in the house.
Eating 1,000 cal of lean protein and produce feels a million times better than a diet with more carbs.
Thank god for therapy. I think a lot of this is stemming from my fear of whether I'll be able to get under 250 and if I do, whether I have it in me to lose more. 250 is the lowest weight I've ever achieved as an adult and it was sooo long ago. This new territory thing is scary. I don't like how much more visible I seem to men. I'm also anxious because recently I've learned of a number of friends who have regained so much weight. It's a real reminder of what can happen and it scares the crap out of me. What do I want to do when I'm scared? Eat! Oy vey.
Thanks for listening... chime in with how things are going in your world and your weekly WI!

This past weekend, I rode coasters, went dancing twice, and spent the day kayaking- it was amazing! And while I am overjoyed that I'm able to do all these things- I don't recognize the person in the mirror.
My friends tell me that they think I look normal, but I don't see it. It's all very strange. Plus I just broke up with my partner a week ago...so my heads a bit of a mess....I'm just working on staying on track.
I feel ya Michelle- sometimes we just have to take an honest look at what we are doing and more importantly, why? I think you have a good head on your shoulders and you will continue losing as you push past this barrier.
I wish you all a wonderful week!

It has been a weird week. I started adding more food to my diet, so have some weird things going on with the pouch and other things. I didn't think I had lost that much, but I will take it! By the way, is this not right? Not so much when I am eating, but sometimes when I drink, especially water, it feels like it stalls in the pouch and is a little uncomfortable. Not long-probs not even a minute. I haven't had anything come back up on me, but do get that tight uncomfortable feeling sometimes. Just curious. Thanks!

50 lbs lost pre-op-the rest is post op.
The best changes often start as a single, simple thought. Think big, and discover the ways to make your dreams real. CheryL
Well, not my best week. Food wise nothing changed it was just one of those times when I couldn't shake the scale much.
Michelle, my lowest adult weight is 210. As I approach that I am feeling the same trepidation as you do. Something magical about that number and if I can get below it.
I bought a Wii this past weekend and have been playing the Wii fit. It is the first exercise I have wanted to do since surgery. It may account for the slower loss, that and the fact that the bathroom is a major problem. Oh Well......next week will be a better loss.

Today's Weight - 267.3
YUCK!!! Had a great weekend as far as fun goes...Horrible weekend food wise. We went to a Beatles festival and I had WAY too many carbs. French fries (which I normally never eat). Didn't focus on my protein and mostly drank diet soda. Very bad weekend! I am back on the wagon today. Cutting the soda back out of my diet completely and focusing on protein. Looking forward to next week's weigh in.

Starting Weight: 388 (May 2008)
Last Week: 246
Today: 245
All day long yesterday I kept thinkin' "what did I forget to do?" NOW I KNOW!! I didn't start the weekly weigh-in thread. (And I'm relieved it didn't involve leaving food out to spoil -- been doing a lot of that lately.)
Anyway, I'll take the pound. 10 more would be nice. But I'll take the pound with an enormous amount of gratitude. (Don't want to anger the WLS fairy
or she'll zap me with 5 pounds of water weight.)
I'm having this problem where I buy food enough for me to eat like I used to. We're wasting SOOOOO much food.
I did get the 4-year-old to try cherries. And she liked them. So she can eat 6; I'll eat 2 after my protein and maybe I'll only have to throw out half the package when they spoil. No one else in the house will touch them. I don't understand why I can't buy 1/2 pound of cherries instead of a pound.
Everyone have a good week!!

One food makes you larger, and one food makes you small...
I gained for the first time ever. Talk about messing with your head. I was just getting up the confidence to reset my WL goal. I also stopped buying clothes thinking that maybe I'll get down to a smaller size.....and now

Well, crap! I've been a good little post op and now suddenly I'm plagued by the "going off the diet" mentality and I'm disappointed in myself for thinking this way because it's only 1.4lbs.
But......1.4lbs GAINED! Really?!
It's making me a tad bit psychotic....
