HOW ON EARTH COULD I HAVE GAINED 1.5 LBS SINCE YESTERDAY? It must be fluid retention from the salt I put on my food since I obviously didn't eat 1.5 lbs of food yesterday. lol Today's focus: More water, less salt.

New Sleevers: You have so many wonderful things to look forward to!! Smaller clothes, more confidence, freedom to do most anything and not be held back by the weight... it's all the little things. I don't regret getting my sleeve for ONE SECOND!!! It is really tough in the very beginning, but once you jump that hurdle it is ALL WORTH IT!!!

Well I didn't quite make my pre-op weight goal. I wanted to be under 300 lbs before surgery but this morning I weighed in at 305.4. Still that's down 35 lbs and I guess I still have a chance. Clear liquids today might just do it for me.

While laying in bed this morning I noticed that my hips bones stick out way too much. I don't think I wantto lose anymore weight especially if I get a tummy tuck, I'll seriously look like a crack head. I'm perfectly fine at 164

I have set myself two short term goals - my six month goal on 8/22 and a Labor Day Goal. The 6 month goal is to weigh 167 on the doctor's scale - that is an 86 pound loss. The second one is to weigh 157 on the doctors scale by Labor Day - that is a 96 pound loss. And, I have moderated my ultimate goal weight. I want to weigh 125 on my home scale - which is around 135 dressed on my doctor's scale. This will be a nice size (I'm not sure what) and will be a NORMAL BMI.

Love & Loght to all on this journey. Well, last week I gained 2.4 lbs and this week, I lost a pound. I am only 16 lbs away from goal so I am really uping the water. I would like to be at goal by labor day! I know we can do it. Giving thanks for All the lessons and the blessings!

starting pre-op officially and curious if anyone gained weight prior to surgery?? I specially feel anxious..

Today is July 4, 2011. I've down to 220 pounds. I've dropped 52 pounds. But, now I seem to be at a stand still at my weight loss. I try to get my 60 grams of protein each day, work out at Curves, or do bike riding or wii each day. I'm also drinking water.

Haven't been this weight since I was 19.

I did something this morning that I have not been able to do in about 2 years. I actually stood up while teaching my class this morning! I had been sitting because I just could not stand for long periods of time. This morning though, I stood for my 1 hour lecture! Woo Hoo I love having lost this weight!

I worked out yesterday and I gained a pound.... I haven't been able to see the inside of a gym in over 3 weeks.

For the past 2 days people have said I look alot smaller and if I'm done losing weight. I just simply say I'm losing inches I hope cuz I don't want to lose anymore

One year ago, I began losing weight -- today, I feel like a new person

trying to catch my wave (I still don't understand how my body loses weight when I least expect it)

Doing ok with the weight loss for the most part.94lbs in 5.5months ,hoping to make it 100lbs by the 6 month mark Sept. 15th.

I got the best compliment today, from an 8 year old girl (who hadn't seen me all summer). She said, "oh wow, you got skinny" That just made my day! I am far from skinny and haven't lost any weight in 2 months, but that made me smile

Why is it that if I drink water at night, the weight is STILL on the scale the next day?? Makes me not want to drink barely anything at all!

...9 months out and gaining. HELP!

Even though I'm not at goal, I'm done trying to lose weight for a little while. I've been feeling really crappy again and I'm just going to focus on eating, eating, eating. Good stuff of course. Still not buying junk. It's just that I'm not eating enough.

Very frustrated with how slow I am losing weight, but reminding myself to be thankful that I am in fact actually LOSING weight that I will never put back on and that I am still heading in the right direction!!! Just going to reevaluate my daily intake and see what I can change up to start losing more a little quicker!

Back to work tomorrow...ugh. Gonna get one more good workout in today, hopefully. I work 16 hour shifts and am too beat when I get home to exercise. I hope two thirty minute sessions on my days off make up or the three work days with no exercise. Weight loss is picking up again, so something must be going right!

The bank teller said "4 months til Christmas" today, I almost blurted out, "I'll be sleeved & losing weight by then" to a perfect stranger. I tell you I have a one track mind with this VSG coming up!

weight loss suddenly stopped and gained 4 pounds... WTF?!.. then realized it's cuz of the soup I made 2 days ago which is super salty (by accident)... am chucking the rest of it... but glad to have figured out why i gained suddenly, and I MEAN SUDDENLY.. in about 12 hours!!

Wow I can sure feel that weight lifting session last night! I think I neglected that far too long... ;-D

Tried my first Zumba class - SO much fun and so happy I managed to keep up, pushed myself to keep going and wasn't the unfittest person in the room any more. Think it helped get me to a 3lb weight loss this week.
