Weekly weigh in: sept 11- sept 17

Hi weekly weighers!

OH is being wonky for me this morning, so I hope this post doesn't get eaten!

The scale is still slowly ticking down, so I cant really complain. But I will anyway hahah I just want to get out of the 180s! I feel like I live here now! I'm so close to losing 200 pounds! I know it's just a matter of time.

Also, I realized I do kind of have a goal weight in mind now. Chatting with a girlfriend yesterday, and I said I'd like to get to a healthy BMI, which means losing about another 35-40 pounds.

After I said it, I was like huh, that actually seems possible now. I think it's going to be a lot harder than the first 200, but actually possible.

Stats:

HW: 378

LW: 181.8

TW: 180.1

Goals: 178 (200 pounds lost). After that, 140-145, the top end of a healthy bmi range. Hope everyone has a good week!

Edit: to fix format!

And by wonky, I mean it won't let me format, or edit to try and put the paragraphs back in.... I'll try later to fix it and make it legible haha

I know the feeling. I felt like I lived in the 180s for forever. And now I think I will bounce up and down in the 170s for a while. I happily saw 170 earlier in the week, but today it bounced up to 174. Sigh. But it's ok. I'm trying to be happy in the here and now with an eye on the future. My final goal is a healthy BMI too. I've never had that in my adult life and I want it.

HW: 375

LW: 171

TH: 174

I have no weight to post today. Friday was 2 weeks post op for me. Until the Tuesday things were going quite well. I felt like I was progressing but Tuesday night I started having nausea and vomiting. This continued Wednesday by Thursday I couldn't keep anything down and I was in pain. Friday I went to emergency and was admitted to the hospital where I still am today. Apparently I have some soft of partial blockage and inflammation. I am in a holding pattern at the moment with an iv, anti nausea medication and pain control. Not sure when I will be released.

I consider this just a blip in my journey.

Hope they get it cleared up soon, and you can be on your way. I am sure it is disappointing though.

Keep us updated!

How are you doing?

Thank you for asking. I am home from the hospital (thank goodness) and am on clear fluids for the foreseeable future. My stomach is rejecting protein powders of any sort so I am mostly haveing homemade turkey and chicken broth. I am taking it one day at a time and hoping I will be back to my new "normal" soon.

I had a bad eating week, guess I ate my emotions so I had a oh crap moment on the scale this morning.

Hw 368

Lw 173

Tw 178.6

Should be a better eating week since there is no funeral to attend.

Hi all,

I am 13 days post op today. Looking forward to moving into puréed foods soon. :)

OrangeBlossom, get well soon.

HW: 308

LW: 289.5

TW: 280

This really is the honeymoon phase! I can barely believe I am down this much weight already. I feel so blessed.

Goal: transition smoothly (no pun intended) into puréed foods. :)

YOU GO GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
