The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In

The loss is still slow, but steady. My Son and his family just moved to Pensacola Florida yesterday. Knowing that this was coming up, we have spent a great deal of time with them which involved going out to eat, etc… I am quite sure that we will now get back into a semi-normal routine and regenerate the weight loss once again. 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 08Mar07         First Fill          Band is at 4cc’s 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 08Apr07          321.0   -           2.0# Loss since last Sunday 15Apr07          314.4   -           6.6# Loss since last Sunday 16Apr07          Second Fill      Band is now at 6cc’s 22Apr07          311.8   -           2.6# Loss since last Sunday 29Apr07          306.8   -           5.0# Loss since last Sunday 06May07         303.0   -           3.8# Loss since last Sunday 13May07         301.8   -           1.2# Loss since last Sunday 20May07         301.2   -           0.6# Loss since last Sunday 27May07         299.4   -           1.8# Loss since last Sunday 03Jun07           295.4   -           4.0# Loss since last Sunday 10Jun07           294.6   -           0.8# Loss since last Sunday 94.4# Loss overall 65.0# Loss since surgery 19.8# Loss since last band fill

Hey guys, mind if I join in?  This is my first "Sunday Weigh In" so here's my stats: 1/15/07 (my yearly check-up) I was 291 3/27 my consult with the surgeon I was 282 5/2 the day before surgery I was 284 Last Monday I was 245. I've actually been "stuck" for the last week or so, been trying to cross the 40 lb mark but kept losing and regaining the same pound. Finally broke the mark on Friday and this morning.........................................................................................................242 lbs! As an added bonus, in January I was wearing a size 48 slacks. Yesterday I picked up a pair of size 42 shorts without trying them on in the store, figured hell I'm get into them sooner or later, I'm wearing 44's now. Tried them on this morning and they fit! Thanks for the support guys, you're the greatest! Don

Hey guys: As the week began I started FARTing and the propulsion jettisoned me to my goal of reaching the halfway mark, and right passed it!!!  I lost 5 pounds this week, a very solid week. As I mentioned in my blog I made some adjustments to try to be more in sync with my appetite cues, so I ate better this week. Also I hit the gym hard this week with one upper-body day, two lower body-days, and two 5k treadmill sessions.

Great week for me.  Stayed consistently around my protein and calorie targets, took all my vitamins, exercised more, met a fantastic girl that seems interested.  OK, that last one isn't relevant to the weighin, except it's one of the few things that could have topped losing six pounds in a week. Here are my stats 11 weeks post-op: Highest Weight - 375+ Pre-Surgery Weight - 350 Last Week - 294.0 This Week - 288.0 Week Loss - 6.0 Total loss so far - 87 Loss since surgery - 62

Starting weight ---- 346 Last weeks ago weight --- 192 Todays weight --- 190. Total lost this week --- 2 lbs Total loss of ---- 156  lbs in 50 weeks

After a long pause, I saw some losses this week... 8/15/06: 412 (day of surgery) 6/9/07: 259 Lost -3 this week.

Hi Guys, I've been away from regular access to the Locker Room--no, not in the pokey with Paris!--and just want to say hello. I'll weigh in next week.

Highest: 387 Surgery: 358 Sunday, 6/3: 320 Sunday, 6/10: 317 I'm down 3 lbs. for the week. I have been eating a lot more. Probably about 1000- 1200 calories a day. Mostly proteins. Feeling much more "normal", 7 weeks post-op. I really have my work cut out for me to reach my goal of 300 lbs. by july 4th. I'd better start sweating. Have a great week all my loser buddies. DD

Morning Dx, Highest 254 (October 2006) - Surgery 247 (November 15, 2006); Today 167 and holding!  Lost 87 and feeling great - Doc says not to get below 165 - More of a lurker on the board, but thanks to everyone for all the support. Rick

Highest weight ever:  350 lbs (October 06) Weight on surgery date:  322 lbs Last week:   258

This week:   255 lbs

Pounds lost this week: 3 lbs

Just like the tortoise and the hair, slow and steady will win the race.  Pounds lost since highest weight: 95 This week I officially went down to a 40" waist size from 52-54" waist size.  I went to a concert last night, and didn't feel squooshed against some stranger...what a pleasant change.  People who know me say that I look at least 10 years younger!

Great job to everyone here on this board.  You guys inspire me so much, as I realize so many have paved the way before me. -Dave
