The Sunday Weekly Weigh-In
June 1st!

... 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?-
188...!! -Saturday Night Weight....
Up by a lot for me!!! I've started running again, And getting extra exercise, and up by 3 lbs since last week!!! This Blows! But, who knows, a major crap may be in the works! So, What about YOU?

Best Wishes-
Dx

Good Morning All, After a small set back last week (Emergency Gallbladder Surgery that turned into a LAP Exploritory due to the Gallbladder being OK and possible Crohns Disease, Scheduled with GI Specialist Monday) My weight loss stopped and I actually gained while in the Hospital. But the loss picked up again once I got home. I have not been able to get back into the excercise routine yet due to pain. Anyway Surgery Weight 342# Todays Weight 283# The Beat goes on. God Bless you All Jeff

Lap Band on 01/30/07

I am still on a slow but steady decline. This is my 74th week of posting my current progress. I have been toying with the idea of getting another adjustment, but occasionally I ‘Get Stuck’ as it is. As such, I believe it is ‘I’ who need adjusting, not the band. I am now sneaking up on the Doctors Goal of 225#, but I am still firmly focused on MY goal of 195#. After I hit MY goal, I may even try to sneak on down to 189# just to make it an even 200# lost, but even if I just stabilize in the 195# - 200# range, I will have lost roughly ½ of my body weight. 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
30Jan08          254.8   -           Happy Bandiversary!
03Mar08         Fourth Fill      Band is now at 6.70cc’s

25May08        235.6   -           Weight last Sunday
01Jun08          235.4   -           0.2# Loss since last Sunday

153.6# Loss overall
124.2# Loss since surgery
15.6#   Loss since last band fill

Starting BMI = 57.44
Current BMI = 34.76

Semper Fidelis!
