(Father's Day!) -Weekly Weigh-In

Happy Fathe's Day Y'all.  I think this is my best Father's Day yet.  The clothes I received this morning are in sizes I haven't worn in 20 years.   And they fit!!!!  Have a great day guys.

Starting Pre-op: 352.2  RNY 11/13/2006: 345.2 Last Week: 234.4  This week: 233.0 (-1.4 lbs) Total Loss: 119.2

I had a great week, even if the scale doesn't agree.  I exercised more than in any week since, well, probably law school.  Washed my very dirty car for two hours in the noon sun and didn't care (today I've got a sunburn).  And last night my 48 jeans fell off while I was getting ready and so I got some 46s from the closet, which were also a bit loose. Here are my stats 12 weeks post-op: Highest Weight - 375+ Pre-Surgery Weight - 350 Last Week - 288.0 This Week - 287.4 Week Loss - 0.6 Total loss so far - 88 Loss since surgery - 63

Hi Guys, Whoo Hoo!  I hit the 100 lb lost mark this past week.  I was in Quebec City with our school trip and did a lot of walking around that beautiful city.  I'm now 103 lbs down since I first started the process.  What a great feeling to reach the century mark!

I got a ‘Happy Fathers Day’ via telephone. My wife, and life’s partner is at wor****il 4:00pm, and my Son and his family moved to Pensacola Florida (800 miles away) last weekend, so it is just me and the pups today. My wife is coming home early from work so we will go out at that time. As far as weight loss goes… it is slow, but still loss any way you look at it. I have my head down and steadily plowing forward. Up until April I was dropping big numbers more often than not, but now the easy(er) loss is over and the real work begins. I am working on ramping up the exercise, and am looking at my diet to be sure that it is  in balance. I would like to see the bigger loss numbers return, but if not, any loss is still loss! 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 04Mar07          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 17Jun07           293.4   -           1.2# Loss since last Sunday 95.6# Loss overall 66.2# Loss since surgery 21.0# Loss since last band fill

Morning Dx, Happy Fathers Day, Been a busy week with Susan hitting the big 50 yesterday. Lots of rain around Carolina has limited my walking this week but I still managed to drop down to a new low of 222lbs for a loss of 238lbs. Since we have a lot of new brothers on the board these days I will post my long term weight loss progress so they can get an idea of a typical loss pattern for a man. I do exercise regularly and walk/jog between 15-30 miles a week for the past 12 months. Good Luck Fellas, June 17, 2007 - 222lbs (New low!!)
