The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In

Hey DX, how goes the battle? Pre-Op Weight - 341   (3/12/07) Day of  Surgery  -  322  (3/27/07) Today's Weight - 313  (4/1/07) Total - 28lbs.

The downward trend continues. With each passing week I am getting a better understanding of what my body needs. I am midway between Band adjustments (Last one 3 weeks ago, next one 3 weeks from now) and am starting to experience challenges in being able to eat more than I should do to not enough restriction. This is placing the emphasis on my self control, which I have learned that I have much more of than I thought before being Banded. All in all, I am very pleased with my progress, and the pace at which I am losing. With that all being said, here are my results to date…  05Oct06          389.0   -           Initial Consult with Illinois Bariatric Clinic 14Jan07           385.8   -           3.2# loss since Initial Consult (Approval Date) 17Jan07           383.4   -           Pre-Op Consult - 2.4# loss (Start Liquid Diet) 21Jan07           371.2   -           12.2# loss since Pre-Op Consult 28Jan07           362.8   -           8.4# Loss since last Sunday 30Jan07           359.6   -           Lap Banding today 3.2# Loss since last 04Feb07          355.2   -           4.4# Loss since surgery date. 08Feb07          352.8   -           Post-Op Consult - 2.4# loss since Sunday 11Feb07          349.6   -           3.2# Loss since Post-Op Consult 18Feb07          350.2   -           0.6# GAIN since last Sunday 25Feb07          344.4   -           5.8# Loss since last Sunday 04Ma07           338.4   -           6.0# Loss since last Sunday 11Mar07          333.8   -           4.6# Loss since last Sunday 18Mar07          327.6   -           6.2# Loss since last Sunday 25Mar07          326.0   -           1.6# Loss since last Sunday 01Apr07          323.0   -           3.0# Loss since last Sunday 66.0# Loss overall                   36.6# Loss since surgery

Well this is my first Sun. weigh in..  It just so happens this is my best week since the initial 2 weeks. Date of surgery (1-22-07)------   384 Last week ------332 This week ------323 This week I decided to fight through the back pain and do some more excercising.  Really feeling it in my back but 9lbs is worth the pain. I also discovered that weighing in once a week is the way to go.  I was weighing in once a day and it was driving me crazy!

Been 2 weeks since I last weighed in on here. After the plateau broke my loss has been pretty good. Starting - 455 Weight on surgery date (1/4)  - 365 Last weigh in - 295 Today's weight -  285 10 pounds lost in 2 weeks Loss from surgery 80 Total loss 170

Hey Guys   I haven't posted for a couple of months.  I have not lost any weight since the middle of last November.  Guess I better up the exercise.  Here's my numbers Surgery day  12/05/2005.....  361 lbs today.......................................   218 lbs total loss so far is................  143 pounds Can't complain..feel great, but need to get my arz in gear and get back to exercising Good to see everyone doing so good.

DX, I love the weekly weigh-in.  Hearing from everyone and all the weight loss is just freaking amazing.  It get me pumped every weekend.  Thanks for doing it. I had gained from 263 back up to as much as 267  I guess from the prep training for my 10K and I used Creatine one week on and one week off during the month peaking at the week ending the day of the race (Sat, 31 Mar).  It seemed to stifle my weight loss but I was real concerned about muscle endurance and fatigiue as I became seriuosly spent a couple of times during the month of March after doing practice 10Ks.  Once seemed to be from low blood sugar (as OJ picked me right back up from feeling like I was going to melt and run down the chair and into the floor) and the other times I felt better after increasing my protein and carbs intake.  But anywho,...I digrest,... weekly weigh-in: I am back down to 265 the day after the 10K and hopefully going to start dropping again as I try to keep most of my training exercise and nutrition learning without the creatine supplement.  Heaviest: 408 At WLS Consult: 394 Surgery Date: 374 (9/26/06) Lowest: 263 (mar 17, 07) Current: 265 Determined to hit Goal of 180 and total loss of 228 Joe

9 - Weeks post op

50 lbs since surgery,

    Hello all,     I didn't have a great week weight wise, but it sure felt good to get some yard work done and not feel worn out in the process.  I can't believe what I  can accomplish during a day without needing rest or snack breaks.    Here's the numbers:   Starting weight at 1st consult (January 13, 2006):    339   Weight day of surgery (March 20, 2006):                     300   Weight last week:                                                             184   Weight this week:                                                             185 So I gained a pound, I can deal with that.  I Just need to up my water and get in my walking and it will pop back down again.            Have a good week everyone.                         Life is great,  Rick
