Tomorrow determines Massage :-)
Ok guys about 3 weeks ago I made a "promise or challenge" to myself that if I weigh in at my official monthly weigh in uner 200 pounds that I will treat myself to a facial & massage :-) My appoinment is Tuesday at 5 and I dont think I have ever been this nervous.
If you have ever heard me whine about not being able to get under 200 pounds you should also know that I really do follow the rules and even when I do give in to my sugar/flour addiction I do always keep my calories under 1200 or 1500 if it is a treadmill day. I have maintained my original 160 pound loss (no gain over 4 pounds, usually gone within a week) but my docs think I must be doing something wrong because I cant get under 200. I am to the point ALMOST that I am going to settle at 200. I believe I have never been as diligent & worked so hard to lose any weight that if I dont get under 200 this month I surrended!! I will accept that God likes me at 200 and I wont ever complain again :-)
Just had to put my thoughts out into the cosmos & waste my lunch hour (I was inspired to throw my burger away by and earlier post i read)
I will let you all know how it went on Wednesday at lunch. thanks for letting me rant once again

Thank you Tracy
It is very hard sometimes to have people & my doctors give me that "accusatory" look when I tell them I am exercising & really dieting (even though I hateb that word) and the scale isnt moving.
After reading posts here sometimes I think I should just be grateful NOT to be gaining :-)
I probably wont sleep all nite UGH
Thanks again....you are always SO supportive!!!

Hi, Diana! I'll keep you in my thoughts on Tuesday, and will watch for your post on Wednesday.
In response to your info about daily calories and "treadmill," I'm wondering if you exercising regularly? If so, 1200-1500 calories a day might not be enough calories for your daily needs. I know it sounds counterintuitive, but I've experienced this, as have a couple of my co-workers who have not had WLS. For our bodies, we learned that if we cut our daily calorie intake back too far, we will not lose. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the body's natural tendency to conserve energy when it's not sure it will have enough on an ongoing basis. Anyway, without knowing more it's hard to say whether this could be happening to you. If you think this may be going on, try adding 100 or 200 calories per day to your daily intake; I added a another snack to my day, but you could simply add a few more calories to each meal. I know this can feel somewhat "risky," and it doesn't make sense intellectually, but it does happen some times.
Good luck on your continuing journey (and enjoy that massage when you finally get it!).

DonnaHi Diana! Congrats on your weight loss so far!! I too struggle but I'm not as good at maintaining a direction when it comes to diet and exercise. In fact I'm quite rebellious and I shouldn't be. I feel so much better than I did when I began this process and I do have a 20 pound weight gain to contend with--and I will. You keep up the good work. I hope you reach your goal.

Thanks so much to everyone for their kindness. I dont think I have been so nervous in years UGH. I know I shouldnt want this (to be under 200) so badly but I do I do I do!!! 5 pm i taking FOREVER to get here ;-)
Oh and for those who asked, I do exercise daily. usually alot (or so im told) but at the least I walk 3 miles a day, either on treadmill or outside. I have tried upping calories and they upped me :-( all my docs say its my broken thyroid and terribly slow metabolism. Guess Im just lucky heheheheh
