Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Monday 11/26

Welcome and post away. This is a great resource for folks who are a ways out from surgery even if they're not at goal.

104.4 today.  That's more like it.

119.5.  i seem to have lost the two pounds i gained last thanksgiving. but i am wary - the holidays ain't over yet. still, i managed to do reasonably well - think it was the work of guests plus christmas art stuff for the galleries.   diane

114.2 this morning.  I know I really didn't gain a lb - I just tend to lose lose lose then bounce up a little.  Especially when I intake a lot of water.  Like yesterday - finally tried my mojito crystal light.  Yummy nummy goodness, drank the whole 2 quarts on top of all the bottled waters and coffee and tea.  lol.  I was floating yesterday.  

Thanks for all the responses...I'm 184.3 this morning. In the last two weeks, I've lost 6.6lbs!!!  On my way to the doctor this afternoon as I think I'm trying to pass a kidney stone!!!  We shall see...

Ouch, yuck. Been there, done that, did not enjoy it one little bit.

Hope you're feeling better soon, and congrats on the loss.

138.8, snorky, coughing and not sleeping well.. 

Hi all,

So I am ready to jump in. Have been for a while actually - I am one of the daily lurkers. I had my VSG almost one year ago, 11/28/11 and have lost 116.2 pounds. I have set my goal at 159 for now which will put me in the normal BMI category at 5'7". Had my one year surgeon's review a couple of weeks early and all my labs are stellar. AND I just turned 63! 

I am now in the early stages of recovery from a total knee replacement, done 1 week ago. All the years of carrying that weight and some genetics, necessitated this surgery. It is not fun in any way, but I am working hard, and look forward to a completely positive outcome. I can't wait to be able to do some of the things I read that all of you are doing - hiking, biking, kayaking, traveling. Just plain moving.

I haven't weighed since the morning of surgery and that was 167.2. I am pretty swollen and bit "plugged" from narrcotics if you get my drift, so I will wait a few days to get back on the scale. I do look forward to becoming a part of this group - I feel like I know you already!

Welcome!

My Mom had both knees replaced and I'm not sure I had this surgery done soon enough to save my right knee. We'll see. But you'll be glad, once it heals, that you had it done!
