I want to strap 230lbs worth of weight on my back and walk around for a bit so I can remember what that felt like.

I have found my first and only downfall to losing weight- I'm running out of good fatty spots to give myself shots. I've got really ugly, angry spots that seem to last for weeks. I'm praying I don't have to change meds. Ugh!

gaining weight everyday!

After a dreaded stall for a week the weight is coming off!! I weighed on at 201 today!! I am going to cry like a baby when I am under 200!! Headed to the gym now!

I wanna know... Please list: Your highest Weight/Surgery Weight/Weight Today/Weight Lost to date? This is a feel good exercise!!! I got this idea from someone else, and loved it!

Back from vacation and gained 1.6 pounds.. Most likely lots of water weight my hands and feet are swollen. Hopefully this will drop off quickly, and I will be back on track. Wonderful vacation and I arrived home to another blizzard...

May be going from High BP to Low BP since surgery. Doc wants me to monitor for a week. Uggghhh..... At least I'm losing some weight

5 month anniversary today!!! Weigh in tomorrow at surgeons. I can not weight (ha ha). Could I be at my ultimate goal of losing 72lbs in 5 months?

I have officially made it through 4 days of the pre-op diet and am beginning to get used to it. I hope I am losing weight so I can prove something on the scale at my pre-op visit on 3/10.

Lost the 2pds I gained in 1 day. I feel so much better on mushies! Tuna, can chicken, and crab are my friends!

I am getting so frustrated. I had my surgery on Jan 17th and I am not losing weight. I am on pureed foods and don't know what I am doing wrong. But now I wish I wouldn't have had the surgery. I just want to cry. The scale has said the same thing for like 3 weeks now.

Getting frustrated that work is so stressful I don't have time to exercise. This is how I gained weight in the first place!!! Argh.

Doing well- feeling more and more like me. I am so close to being able to say that I have lost 80 lbs already! I love that when ever I get on the scale it is either going down or staying the same- no weight gain!

Anxiously awaiting a reply from United health care for approval for surgery. I need this so bad for my health. I have chronic back pain and have already had two back surgeries...I cannot wait to be able to have some help getting this weight off my joints. Please pray for me!

OMGoodness!!! I just signed up for the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure - on May 7th - 5K Adult timed run. Okay - time to get really serious here. I gotta lose some weight quick and keep working on my time. Whoohooo!! What a great motivator!! It will be my first actual REAL 5K. :-)

Starting to become nervous that this plication won't help me lose weight! It would be my luck that I would be one of the oddballs to lose very little weight. Hmmpf!

Broke down and weighed myself after I said I wouldn't till mother nature left and ya, those two are conspiring against me, gained 2 lbs. I will not let the scale and mother nature win this battle. I put the scale away, outta sight, outta mind till I'm done with this PMS crap

12 Day Post-op NSVs: No more pain meds, wearing jeans and slept on my tummy last night! Also 1 pound away from my wedding weight. #wls

After reading posts on the Recipe topic, I have bought and received the cookbook "Eating Well After Weight Loss Surgery". It looks amazing, and I can't wait to try some of the recipes now. Thanks for the advice.

OMGGGGGGGGGG!!!!! I don't know what the heck is happening right now but my scale says I'm an even 226... I am officially below my lowest lap band weight and I blew it outta the water!!! YAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I flew past the half way point today (I only weight once a week) and I am 7 weeks out tomorrow!!!

What??? Only a bit less than a half pound to be LESS than my lowest band weight mini goal. Don't get me wrong, I'm super happy - but I can't help feeling like I'm being teased here...

3 Weeks Post Op and only down 17 pounds. The majority of that is water weight becuase I lost it the first week. I have only lost 4 pounds since week one. I just seem to be doing something wrong. I am probably eating 500 cal and I know I am not drinking enough. Maybe 30 oz a day.
