    Dinner

    I am just over 6 weeks out. My main protein source is still a protein drink. I personally am scared of food so good for u for trying food. But I always read if a stall increase protein and go back to basics. Try liquid only for a few days and see if that helps. I was also told that even at 6 weeks out I should be at about 600-700 calories a day. And start to measure ur self!!!! Weeks that I only loose a few pounds I see my inches change and that helps. I personally haven't dropped many pant sizes, although I'm at a total loss of 67lbs. By belly is still to big. Look for NSV too. Like can you tie your shoes better or are you walking better. Little things that don't always show on the scale. Good luck to you!!!
  2. those are all NSVs! sweet!!!!
  3. I had my surgery on May 9th. It's 12 weeks today! Time flies! Here is the official report: HW: 265 (4 wks before Surgery) SW: 239 CW: 209 Dress size: 22w to 14/16 My post surgery wt. loss is not as fast as some. But I am very happy! It is headed in the right direction! And the total wt. loss in last 4 months is close to 60 lbs! No complains from me! NSVs: Started wt. training and loving it! Started Couch to 5k. On wk. 2. Day 2 At lowest wt. in almost 16 years Compliments/comments that made me feel great: Hey girl! You are shrinking! Looks like someone is bringing the sexy back here! food goals: Kept below 800 cals a day on non-exercise day Upto 1000 on exercise days Carbs no more than 70 gms on exercise & 40-50 on no exercise days Protein intake: 80-110 per day Here is the biggest one: I HAVE LOGGED MY FOOD IN MFP FOT 80 DAYS IN A ROW! hair loss: There is some so far only when I shower. I use Organic coconut oil couple of times a week. I massage it in gently and wash my hair in the morning. Hoping for the best. I will take the temporary hair loss to have a chance at permanent weight loss! Other: No weakness, no surgery pains/complications. Hoping for continued downwards journey and support from this wonderful community!
  4. This is a strange NSV, but I wanted to share it. I'm a Long Islander, and I was without power (and heat!) for 8 days following Hurricane Sandy. And for three days after my power came back on, we had my mother-in-law stay over because her power wasn't back yet. (She's nice, but I haven't told her about my surgery - she wouldn't understand.) Here's my victory: During that whole time, I managed to make good food choices and not go for comfort food. In the past, I would have binged on Mallowmars and Devil Dogs. In a situation where I previously would have crumbled, my band helped me stand firm. And today I got my reward: I'm down to 199!

    NSV and Not Banded Yet! :)

    The NSV's are already rolling in! Well done, doesn't it make you feel good? I'm so excited for you!
  6. I feel I had an NSV last night. One of my dearest friends that I thought was going to have a problem with me having the surgery and not support my decision came through for me last night. He told me that he will support my decision and will be there for me if I need him. That is just plain awesome. It made my night. I was on cloud 9! I know I shouldnt really care if they are behind me or not, but I do. I am doing this for me to better myself and want to make my family and friends proud of me!!! I am having my surgery on the 30th of June and I feel like I have already gotten an NSV without it! Look how it is going to make me feel once I have it. I have all my family and friends support. My Dear Husband has been so supportive of me doing this and he is very excited for me. He is such a wonderful man. I am one of the luckiest woman in the world!!!! WOO HOO!!!!
  7. Ok... so if you've read some of my posts recently, I've been complaining about being in a stall or not losing inches or anything. I received some killer advice on this board and took it to heart. I stopped consuming 2-3 Protein shakes a day and decided to get most of my protein in via food, I stopped weighing myself everyday, and I up'd my Water intake by double! So, here I go last week with all my changes and what happens? I get hit with my kids' cold/flu! I've been out of commission since last Thurs and am finally back to work and feeling somewhat normal. The bad news? I havent been able to eat anything substantial since last week and have only been able to finish 1/2 of a Protein shake. I know I'm depriving my body of the nutrients it needs to survive but nothing is going down. I made chorizo and scrambled egg for BF and was only able to eat maybe 3 bites. I have baked chicken for L today and am hoping to get most of the 2oz in but I highly doubt it. Anyway.... on to my scale VICTORY!! I am officially down 30lbs post-op!!! (Ticker to reflect this later) YAY!!!! My "stall" has broken since last week due to all your help and advice!!! and for my NSV.... I fit into my size 14 slacks today!!!! So very excited!!! One more freakin pound and I'll be in ONEDERLAND!!!! Doing the Happy Dance!! Thank you all for your encouragement and advice!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!

    My NSV

    Ok... the set up. I have my period, stuck in traffic having a rather upsetting 'conversation' on my cellphone with my brother. When I hung up I went and bought plants/dirt and did all the containers for my balcony. IT DIDN'T EVEN OCCUR TO ME TO EAT ICE CREAM!!!!:clap2: God it works when you work it.....
  9. My legs do not touch or rub when I walk! Not even the very tops of my thighs! Woohoo! HW 228 CW 125 total loss to date 103! Thank you VSG and Dr. Almanza and all my VST friends!
  10. I love that I can cross my legs now......and it's comfortable! Been wanting to tell someone that, but who else but my fellow Sleevers would understand such a victory!

    BEST NSV EVER! This make it ALL worth it!

    That is sooo COOL!!!!! I graduated in '86 and haven't been to any of my HS reunions either (not even my 20th, 2 yrs ago!). For the same reason. I was thin in HS and started gaining after I got married at 19. I didn't feel comfortable going. I plan on going to the next one, even if I'm not at goal yet. I think I'll just be feeling better about myself. I have seen a few people since that still live here and I hate meeting up with them. Of course no one has said anything but my imagination fills in the blanks for me! UGH!! Thanks for sharing your NSV!!!

    How are my March Bandsters!!

    Can any Marcher play, or are you looking for specifically March '06? NSV stands for Non-scale Victory. They are the wonderful things that add depth and shading to our journey.

    My big NSV!! (pictures)

    What a great NSV and what a great looking bunch of lass's. I can see a slight resemblance in the cheek curvature of everyone. P.S., I hope to look as great as mom does when I am her age and I would hope I look just as great after having 10 kids...wow! Hehehe, I fell completely apart after 2 kids. I was 145 when I got pregnant with my last one and skyrocketed to 240lbs . Not even 3 kids yet.. I plan on taking one of these pictures when I see my mom in July or August and my sister. I used to be the smallest and now I am the biggest..even still after dropping the lbs, I'm still the biggest. Can't wait to "not be" anymore:cool: .

    Great NSV, Diane! Thanks for sharing this with us. *hugs*

    OMG! I got felt up!

    Great NSV. You sound like me. I am only 5'8" but my goal weight is 200. Weight Watchers puts me at 165 which is too thin for me. Hope you reach your goal!

    eating out red lobster

    I agree about the cheddar biscuits! But here's a NSV... when I allow myself to have any of them, I am now able to eat just one. Not sayin' it's easy, but I've done it several times.

    Silly NSV

    How are my March Bandsters!!

    Total loss 53 lbs. 13 lbs before looking into band, 17 pre-op liquid diet, the rest since being banded 3/14/06. I've had 2 fills, 1/2 cc each in a 4 cc band, total 1 cc. The only people that don't say much about my loss are the ones that thought paying $17,000 for WlS out of my own pocket was ridiculous. I figure they haven't said anything because they are being proven wrong. My best friend keeps telling me to go shopping because someone moved out of the back of my pants. I've had several pb's..yuck. I think maybe I have trouble telling when I'm full. I'm still in a learning phase. Sometimes I do great...some days I eat VERY little. I'll get it right. Bottom line is...I FEEL WONDERFUL!!! I know my doc doesn't think this is an NSV but...HE SAID I WAS LOSING A LITTLE TOO FAST...now how many times have any of us had a doc say THAT..lol

    How are my March Bandsters!!

    O.K.....what's a NSV? I had another little fill of 0.6cc this week and finally feel restriction again. I stalled out for almost 6 weeks (I did lose 2 pounds but jeeze!). I'm allergic to sweating (a.k.a. excercise) unless it involves loud music and a dance floor. I do like to garden and nap. Does that count? People have noticed the weight loss and since I am living a lie and only telling close family members (and all of you here on this group), I just tell them I'm on a low-carb diet and that I'm working very hard. Thank you for noticing! As for issues, I sometimes miss goey buttered rolls. And PB & J sandwiches, toasted. Salads have been iffy. THe lettuce blocks the opening I guess. THe last few times I've eaten a salad, I've pucked it up. Yuck! I was mad too because it wasn't a cheap salad! I figured out how to eat at my favorite buffet restaurants; get the to-go box usually sold by the pound. Fill it up, or not, and then sit down and eat with the family. Take the rest home for tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day......

    How are my March Bandsters!!

    Raven NSV - Non scale Victory.. Girl, if you need loud music and a dance floor, then you go out and find one.. there is NOTHING (well maybe dh) that I love more then loud 80's music and a dance floor. Alison - 69 Pounds wow thats great, I know you must be looking a feeling better.. Ive found that people are afraid to say anything because they dont want you to know that thay noticed how fat we were before, it takes time.. hang in there!
  25. I am 7 1/2 months out and down 121 pounds. I have been at a stall for a few weeks, but am really losing inches even thought the scale isn't moving right now. I don't mind it one bit! I started in a size 26/28 pants size. This weekend I went shopping and bought... get this a size 13 in the juniors section... OMG I could not beleive it, a size 13... that is half of what I was wearing before.. The last time I bought juniors size clothing was in elememntary school! Another amazing NSV was the for the first time in my life I was able to shop at Vistoria Secrets... 112$ later and it was super worth it... I have never felt so normal in my life.. The only down side of all this weight loss is that my cup size has gone up :/ So weird, most women lose weight in their boobs.. but not me... I have gone way down in band size but up in cup.. maybe I was wearing the wrong size to begin with HAHAHA. Sorry guys, this was a rant probably better for women But none the less I am super happy with my results and have no intention of stopping anytime soon
