Daily Maintenance Weigh In - Wednesday, June 5, 2013

156.2

Wow! I was 156 when I left and I ate crap - I mean CRAP - the entire time I was gone. I learned a lesson though. I'm now sitting here with a sore throat from all the reflux I managed to give myself.

Lesson learned and moving onward.

I had an AMAZINGLY great visit. The Cour d'Alene area is absolutely gorgeous and I was able to go hiking (even with my sore back and, yes, I did pay for it later).

I have my 2 year followup with my surgeon today. I had these wild dreams of being at my ultimate goal by this visit, but you know what? The number on the scale is just one of my goals. I've reached SO many others... it's okay.

149.6 - feeling the puffy again. Might have to double up on my allergy med this am. Always makes for an interesting day.

I'm glad you had a good time, Candy. Reflux sucks.

You all have a wonderful day!

Glad that the visit went well.

Down some again to below goal. ( Barely )   159.8 with goal being 160.

A good thing.

Continuing to eat clean and mean.   But goodness yesterday was a hungry day.

Have a good one everyone.

Reflux has been the one major drawback of having a VSG, for me.  Sorry to hear about your throat Candy.

100.6 lbs today.

Have a good one, all!

132.6

I continue to have reflux too. I'm taking generic Prilosec. I'm wondering if a differenti medication might work better?

172.6

Low carbing has definitely made the weight very stable.  Drove the carbs down super-low the last couple of days - definite lack of energy at the end of the day... but I'm getting back to being adapted to it.. hope to snap out of that by the weekend.

Flying to New York on Sunday and I have my French level A2 language exam on Monday - so that's exciting.  Learning a language has been on my "bucket list" forever, as I never did it in High School or college.  But, I've been at it for 2 years now and although it's difficult, I can see progress... I can definitely read, but my real "success" benchmark will be to gain the ability to watch a movie and not need the subtitles.  That's probably 2 years away, but it definitely keeps my brain limber - which is the real benefit.  It exercises parts of my brain that nothing else gets at...

All the best!!

Still going in the right direction after my dental implant crisis.  However, I wish I could lose as much weight as I did money on this implant.  Paid $3000 and had the implant for 6 months at which time it fell out.  The dentist tried to put another one in place after the bone grew back, but damaged the nerve which resulted in my crisis.  It was soooooo painful.  All said and done, I get $500 back out of $3000 and end up with nothing,  I am NOT a happy patient.

168.4 today.

That is dreadful.

Sorry for the pain. OUCH!
