For those of you just home—"Sippin' tha****er, and Walkin' Bunches"- Hang in there, And all of you "Livin' on Liquid only Pre-Op Diets!! Same thoughts- It Does Get Easier Each Week! I know that using the scales can make some crazy, (Slower loss is Still Loss!) -But- Keeping track and forcing myself to "Watch It!" Has been the "What works for me," for maintaining my loss. I’ll eat, but know that I need to exercise a little bit more If the numbers climb just a little. That way, I only make "Little" adjustments to my weekly routine. If the "Scales Make You Discouraged?" Then STAY OFF of Them! But for those who Are weighing in- Drum roll-------------------------------------- Hop your Azz up on the Scales! How much have you lost? Since Surgery? Or in Pre-Op Diet? And has the Scale moved this week for you? If so, How Much? My Starting Weight? – 385 + All Time Low – 179 Me?-   183  (actually early Saturday Morning weight) So, What about YOU? (NEW GUYS AND LURKERS? Scan back over the last months of this weekly post, And you’ll get a fairly clear picture of the fact that there isn’t a "Typical" progress, Just massive, persistent, overwhelming - PROGRESS!) (Exception- Men Do Typically lose faster than their female counterparts!)  Yahoo! Keep It Up!!! Best Wishes-

Hi Dx,

Haven't checked in in a while. Still 174 from a high of 305 and 40's high of 282. 

Meanwhile, looking like a lot of water, a lot of protein and a lot of fiber allows me to eat just about anything I want and not gain. Thinking maybe there's a "critical mass" of liquid and food, which if exceeded, speeds everything through the shortened small bowel." When you think about it, there's no stomach to put on the brakes and  1/2 of the intestinal space, so this should send things "speeding past" the papilli.

This is something that docs could research, I'm sure. 

Have a Good Week,

Dave

Hi all,

This has been a stressful week. I am a law enforcement dispatcher. This past week two of my deputies had to shoot and kill a person that came after them with a knife. It has been very hard on them and the whole department. Curently we are in the midst of possible evaucations due to several large fires in our area.
I guess it is all just part of the job, but it does tend to wear one down.

Anyway, for the numbers:

Starting weight 1st consult (January 13, 2006) 339

Surgery weight (March 20. 2006) 300

Last week: 177

This week: 176

Total lost: 163

Have a great week, Rick

same old.......either side of 150 pounds as usual.....carbonblob

Hi Dx, I am now 6 months post-op.  I was on vacation last week and not able to post.  We went to Ocean City, MD and spent most of our time on the beach.  It was a great not to feel self-conscience about my appearance. I'm down 6 lbs. since my last weigh in two weeks ago.   Overall, I'm down 112 since surgery, and down 131 from my highest! 

Highest: 375 Consultation: 373 PAT: 361 Surgery: 356 Two Weeks Ago: 250 Today: 244

 

Not a bad week altogether!  I did not lose, and only gained .4 lbs.  Maybe I can kick start it again this week!  We are joining the wellness center at the hospital where my wife had her surgery, so just maybe I can lose, firm it up, and enjoy myself all at the same time! Have a great week guys! First day of 6 month diet (Pre Op): 355.9  Last Dr.'s appointment 6/20: 315.0 Last Sundays weight:307.2 Weight this AM (7/15): 307.6 Weight loss this week: 0 lbs.  Weight gain this week: .4 lbs.  Total weight loss: 48.3 lbs.   

Hi all, I had a busy week. A lot of running the roads, and eating poor choices- out of convinience. However I did get a marathon bike ride in yesterday, and it saved me.
