Sunday Morning Weigh In

 Great post Ken.  Look forward to hearing about your continued adventures into plastic.  Your post made me chuckle!!  Thanks for the kind words and I'm not letting this little speed bump get in my way.   BTW, I think I had a 2.8 lb BM after my weigh in but will use that towards next week's weigh in!!  

331.0: All time high 3/10/08
321.0: Surgery day 4/7/08
184.0: GOAL!! 1/13/09
173.0: 1 yr Surgiversary 4/7/09 and at 18 months
171.5: 2 yr Surgiversary! (Dr. scales)
175.5: 3 rd Surgiversary (his scales in shorts and t-shirt)
175.8: Last week
174.0: This week

Well Mike, I lost most of the two pounds you gained!  I'm glad to see the lower number on the display.  Was getting little antsy about regaining.  Can't say that I have done anything differently this week.  If anything I'm went backwards on the diet/exercise scale.

One funny side note.  Anybody ever try AZO tablets for urinary issues?  Having craps in back and Nurse GF said it might be bladder/kidney related and suggested the tablets.  They AIN'T LYING in the fine print on the box about your whiz going from normal color to dark orange!  Looks like Orange Fanta or better yet Tang orange drink.

 So, you are now making TANG?   Does that make you an astronaut?  Or do the astronaut's just drink Tang?  Man, that is funny.   I haven't heard about Tang in about 20+ years.  Do they even make it any more?

 By the Numbers:

354:  The high
340:  RNY 9-12-11
331:  09-18-11
316:  Today- 38 Total Pounds Lost

Hello to all of you and hope you are having a nice weekend.  This week I started the full liquid diet which meant I got to start adding some protein drinks.  They really helped my energy level a lot. I took advantage of being off work and walked each morning to take my son to school. I sure did enjoy those walks. I start back to work tomorrow and am hopeful I can keep it all together...making sure I take my vitamins with me, my shake mix, and food.  I can tell the difference already in my face and by big ol' gut even seems to look a bit smaller. 

Thanks again to everyone for the support.  Mike, stay away from those darn seasonal coffee drinks and you'll be back to dropping in no time!!  I admire you for how you are able to troubleshoot and figure out where the cals were sneeking in. I can tell it will take a lot of practice to become skilled at all of this.

Have an awesome week all

Bill

 Great job Bill!  Yup, I'm swearing off those darn seasonal drinks.  Amazing how quickly we can find ways to replace bad calories with other bad calories and I swear that Dunkin's puts something addictive into that syrup as once I started drinking them it was all I could think about and found it hard to drive by a DD.    Talk about addiction transfer...  I now know the error of my ways and am back on the straight and narrow...

Hope you have a great week as well!!

I feel your pain Mike.  My name is Don and I'm a Starbucks junkie.....who has no intention of reforming!!

 Good to hear Don that I am not alone!!  Gimme Dunkin, Gimme Dunkin....

 Ok, my stats!!

350 was my starting weight back in July
323.x on the day of surgery (9/21)

Was up to 334.x when I got home on 9/23 (wowzers that is a lot of fluid)

Today I am back to 324.x!!

So the real battle is beginning for me!!  (Sip sip sip....)
