The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In

The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In
January 27th!

(Out on the road in Texas visiting my Dad....Crazy slow dial up.)
Congratulations and Welcome to our New Guys.
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! 

... just hitting your first stall?
It happenes to many....
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!


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?-   
184.5 as of Friday. I'll have to check when I get home....

So, What about YOU?



Keep It Up!!!
Best Wishes-
Dx

Hello all,



Fortunately nothing new to report this week. Still going on going on.



Here's my numbers:



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



Surgery weight (March 20, 2006): 300



Weight last week: 178



Weight this week: 179

Total lost: 160



Have a great week, Rick

I actually had a doctor's appointment this last week in which they allowed me to return home rather than check in the hospital.  Nurse/Pharmacist Lori has figured out a new system that is actually helping me to heal, something the hospital staff couldn't figure out, go figure!  It's good to be home. Go Boost with BeneFiber and New Whey powder, my nutrition.  I wonder if I can drink coffee by way of 'The Tube' as I lovingly refer to it....LOL I don't hit the scales too often at home, don't really care as long as I feel good.....but they weighed me Friday at the hospital, 247.5 pounds, start weight 388. Anyone know how I can contact Daniel for his recipe book, I've tried like crazy to find his posts and can't seem to.  Thanks for your continued prayers, BobM.

Bob,

Glad to hear you've lost so much, Bob! Gosh knows, you certainly put in the work for it!

Really relieved that you're recovering well.

Best Wishes,

Dave

Bob, It is good to see you posting!  Wow, 247.5.  You are going great on your weight loss.  And, it sounds like you are healing well now.  If you are looking for recipes, does this mean your tube is coming out soon?

Hi Dx and Everyone! I lost 2 lbs. since last week.  Today I'm 202.

Overall, I'm down 154 since surgery, and down 173 from my highest weight!  
Highest: 375
Surgery: 356
Last Week: 204
Today: 202

Beginning 346 Last Wk 210 Today 212 Today is 9 months exactly and the first time I've gained any weight. It has caused me to think that maby over Christmas I've strayed into some old habits.The weather has been horrible for South Texas and over the last couple of weeks I've made excuses about exerciseing.I plan to go back and be closer to 200 by this time next month. Wish me luck!!

I was fortunate enough to experience yet another week with most excellent results. This is my 55^th week of posting my current progress, only 3 more days until my Bandiversary. On my Bandiversary I will post my entire weight loss journey week by week for those that are looking onto possible lap banding (Warning - I have been working on this document and it will be a long read) so you can see what my results were on a weekly basis.
