For those of you headed in next week--Have the Greatest! For those of you just home— "Keep 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/Different, Each Week! Yes, 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?-   184  sitting unchanged for a few weeks now... 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!) Keep It Up!!! Best Wishes-

Hi Dx,

Unchanged here, as well.

172 lbs.

Legs are looking a little thinner, maybe from all the running of all speeds. Still a lot of HIIT and then, the social jogging which is in good Post form. Even do some barefoot stuff in the carefully manicured local soccer field.

Dave

305/ 190/172

Not sure why I keep writing good "Post" form. I mean good Pose jogging form.

Have a great week,

Dave

After 9 weeks, the scale finally moved!!!!! 232 to 224,...how does it do that??? But I am happy and almost scared to check it again for fear it was one of those temporary fluctuations. Never-the less,......down 8. Heaviest 408 Surgery 374 Current 224 Goal: 200 1st Surgiversay: Sept 26 Thanks for all of the support, advice, jabs, and fellowship.  This is a great Board of guys!

Way to hang in there Joe, that's great news on the plateau breaking!!!

Very Nice Joe! You didn't just break that plateu - you crushed it!

Hey Guys, actually have no idea what weight I am this morning.  I was under 220 the other day but then I've been away on a mini vacation the last three days and eating just about anything I want this weekend with no side effects.  Which is great and bad at the same time I guess.  Had my first stadium dog and a beer yesterday.  Both were just OK.  Pretty hilarious to get a buzz 40% down a longnecked beer.  Any, so no weigh in this week.  Just wanted to check in. Blessings, Greg

Hi Dx, I am now 8 months post op.  Everything continues to go well. I'm still walking every day.  For the last 3 months, I have been doing a total body work out 3 times a week with dumb bells.  I'm using relatively light weights (10 pounders) with a lot of repetitions.  This has really given me a lot of muscle tone. I'm down 1 lbs. since last week.   Overall, I'm down 127 since surgery, and down 146 from my highest weight! 

Highest: 375 Consultation: 373 PAT: 361 Surgery: 356 Last Week: 230 Today: 229 I've added some new photos to my profile.

Hey guys! I have my last Dr.'s appointment this week!  YEAH!!!!!  But I aslo got some bad new from the insurance person at my WLS office.  It seems that there is a possibility I will be denied because I have lost so much weight, and been able to keep it off!  Soon as I heard that , I wanted to stop off on the way home and start the Ice Cream Diet!  You know the one, it's where you eat a 1/2 gallon of your favorite flavor everyday till your next apptointment !!!!!!!! But good sense prevailed and I stayed strong!  In the past 2 weeks, I have lost another 4.4 pounds!  Count me in!  One way or another, I am gonna do something about my SO CALLED FAT LIFE !
