The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In

The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In
February 3rd!

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?

This is Charlie, posting this for Dx.  I hope I am not overstepping here, but I know we have all mourned the passing of his Father last week and I thought I would post the Weekly Weigh-In to give Dx the break.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you, brother. My Starting Weight? – 387
Surgery Date 12/6/2007 Current weight 318 Total lost - 69

So, What about YOU?

I've not typically participated in the weekly weigh-in, but since my date is coming up soon, I thought I would join in. Been doing the pre-op diet now for just over two weeks. Also trying to get my walking up to 30 mins a day (or more). Highest: 320 Current: 299 Goal: 175 My "tentative" surgery date is in a week.  All is depending on the outcome of the EGD I had on friday. So, my date could be the 25th instead (if I have to take measures to kill harmful bacteria in my stomach)

Hey boys, my stats: 2 weeks pre op: 432 Day of surgery (4/10/06): 417 1 year post op: 180 Today: 176 Total loss: 256 Be well all. John

Thanks CB, we appreciate your posting the weigh-in and hope Dx is doing all right. Weight wise I had a good week. No official loss, but two days at 206.5--my 33 year low! Pre-op High:    345 Week's loss:     -0- Today's wt:      207.5 Total loss:       137.5 Have a good week guys.

Pre-surgery: 440 (12/1/08)
Day of Surgery:  386  (1/15/08)
Last Week: 358
This Week: 354 total loss: 86 At the beginning of the week was working our hard and burning anywhere from 400 to 800 calories a day on the treadmill and eating my average of 500 calories day (still only 3 weeks post-op) and I was not losing a thing.  Then on Thursday I got the flu and have been sitting around for three day and eating perhaps a little more because I have time and not working and the weight started falling off again about 1 pound a day. So here is the question was it a three week post-op stall that I have heard about or if I am going to be working our hard (which I am because I have entered a couple of contest this summer) do I really need to up my calorie count to at least match my workout.

I was fortunate enough to experience yet another week with excellent results. This is my 57^th week of posting my current progress. My Wife and I have taken a couple of short weekend trips lately that has had a negative impact on my short term weight loss. Even at that, I am not too excited. We had a great time in Paducah Ky. watching Terry Fator (Last year’s winner of America’s Got Talent) and visited Patties Settlement in the Land Between the Lakes. I just had to partake of the local cuisine and got a little carried away. I am not going to beat myself up over one ‘backslide’ over a 57 week period. With that all being said, here are my results to date. 05Oct06          389.0   -           Initial Consult with Illinois Bariatric Clinic 30Jan07           359.6   -           Lap Banding Day 08Mar07         First Fill          Band is at 4cc’s 16Apr07         Second Fill     Band is now at 6cc’s 06Dec07          Third Fill        Band is now at 6.25cc’s 03Feb08          254.6   -           Weight last Sunday 10Feb08          254.4   -           0.2# Loss since last Sunday 134.6# Loss overall 105.2# Loss since surgery 18.0#   Loss since last band fill Starting BMI = 57.44 Current BMI = 37.56

Another frosty morning here in the mid-west.  Here are my stats:

Consult and Starting Weight (1/1/2008) - 395 Day of Surgery (1/15/2008) - 370 Day I returned Home from Surgery (1/18/2008) - 384 Today (2/10/2008) - 346 Weight lost to date - 49 Tom
