Good morning, Tweaks in diet and activity seem to have busted the stalls of the past weeks. To the adage "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," I add "If it ain't working, change it." Highest:         343 Today:           220.5 This week:        -1.5 Total loss:      122.5 Have a great week.

Spent almost the entire week slowly gaining.  Yesterday morning I got to 278.  This morning?  271.  Go figure.  A pattern is emerging of 1-2 weeks of stagnation followed by a week of weight falling off.  So I'm hopeful the next few days will see a continued quick drop.  Met all my nutrition goals this week, and fluked out a win against a much better racquetball player, so things are great. Here are my stats 18 weeks post-op: Highest Weight 375+ Pre-Surgery Weight 350 Last Week 274.0 This Week 271.0 Week Loss 3.0 Total loss so far 104 Loss since surgery 79

Start 455 Last weigh in 225 Today 220 235 pounds in just over a year.

Spent a lot of the 5th week stalled at 329.  Checked yesterday morning and still at 329... woke up this morning for the official, and watched hit hit 325.8... I checked it three times, just to make sure that my eyes were right, and yeah, it was.   Starting weight, 1st consult; 399 Surgery weight (June 16): 386 Weight this week: 325 Total lost: 74 or 61

Happy Birthday to me… Happy Birthday TO me… etc… Yesterday was my birthday, or more accurately, the 47^th anniversary celebrating the day of my birth. What a way to celebrate it… The day started off perfect with my wife and soul mate Judy wishing me a Happy Birthday as my eyes were opening to greet the day. 102# down from my last birthday… hopefully I can be at GOAL for my next one! Spent the day puttering around the house, then Judy took me out to see a local band that I really like… | http://www.captainratandtheblindrivets.com/ It was a pretty good day… Weight loss is getting more and more challenging… Summer has not been too kind. Too much on the run, grab a bite here, grab a bite there… haven’t been to the Gym in about 8 weeks. Also I bought my Wife and I a new toy when I hit my 100# loss as a reward. A 1986 Goldwing (Motorcycle). We have been on that thing almost non-stop since purchase, but have been eating out almost every meal as a result. Now loss is less than 1.0# per week. I am going to have to knuckle down and monitor myself better. Also, after this week I am not going to post the entire journey to date, just starting and various points along the way up to present, these posts are starting to get way too long.

Highest: 350+ Last week: 237 this week: 234 loss this week: 4 lbs Total loss: 116 Bought some 38x34 waist pants this weekend!!  At a regular store!!! 34" inseam makes finding pants at many stores difficult in 40" waist or higher.  No longer needing to shop at the big and tall store officially this weekend is a HUGE milestone for me. --Dave

Good Morning guys it has been a while since i posted and I have been really not on the computer much. I had my surgery on 7-3-06 and My starting weight was 284lbs. I am now 184 so i have lost my 100 lbs. now I continue to work out and I have energy to burn now It is really amazing to realize how bad i felt before surgery compaired to how incredible i feel now. I am swimming and running (treadmill) my coordination is still goofed up from my accident so i go pretty slow but i am increasing my time little by little i can walk indefinitely i can run about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile a work out. I am up to 300 yards of water jogging in the pool as well as a total of 500 swimming strokes in intervals. I love to cook i hate to eat At first this was a intresting problem i didnt eat enough and wound up on the bathroom floor passed out in the middle of the night. So for those of you just starting follow the diet like it is the Bible. You will run out of gas if you dont. also stay off the scale for no less than a month. dont worry about it the surgery will do the work its desighned to but it takes some patients it took some of us a while to put it on it will take some time for it to go. i have platowed on my journey. just be patent and relize that you keep working ou****ch what you eat and follow the plan stay in touch with your doctor and do what he tells ya if you have a problem call him use descresion but if you cant figure it out call them first.

Mornin all,  OK, once again I've drained my catheter bag and hopped on the scale... The results are as follows: Starting Weight= 350.5 Pre-Surgery Weight= 272.75 Current Weight= 251.25 Loss for the Week= 10.25 Pounds Total Weight Loss= 99.25 Barely 2 weeks out from WLS and nearly 100 lbs down total. Take Care All, Dan S.....
