Josette - keep going if you feel up to it while taking the antibiotics!!

Libra - you seem to be doing really well!! I can't tell by the xmas challange how much you've lost but you haven't got far to go....you'l get to xmas before any of us at this rate!!

Well guys, I've had a terrible chesty cough for nearly 2 weeks now and lots of yuk coming from my chest, the problem I have is I can't tell when I've eaten too much/enough!! and I also can't tell if this yuk is me sliming before a PB... this cough started just before I had my fill so I can't tell how I'm doing foodwise!! it's really difficult at the moment, but I'm trying to stay positive..lol I also haven't been to the gym as anytime I exert myself I'm being sicky!! and thats where I get weighed, never mind sorry about the moan I'm going to try and see my doctor tomorrow about the cough and also try to pop into the gym just to get weighed..take care everyone!

I'm late but...put down that spaghetti Josette!! Actually, I hope the ear infection is getting better.

Indianlight-sorry to hear about your cough. Keep us posted and take care of yourself.

Tis the time of year for germs! I'm not 100% myself right now. My coworker has been terribly sick and our desks are very close to eachother...I hope I'm not getting what she has.

I just came back from shopping...I fit into a pair of 20's tonight! I can't believe it. I don't remember ever stopping there on my way up the scale so I'm excited that I have made this goal!!

Hi all,

well done Libra it just keeps coming off...

I've still got my cough and haven't been weighed yet! I think theres a conspiracy against me getting weighed... I decided to pop into the gym just to get weighed and my friend pointed out that I wouldnt make the stairs with my chest at the moment - good point. Then when I was at the drs I asked if he could weigh me and he didn't have scales in the room he was using, so suggested I stopped by the nurse to get her to weigh me - good idea but she had at least 10 of the older generation waiting outside her room fro their flu jabs...so I went home!

Then to top it all I decided I was getting so desperate to get weighed that I would buy some scales, something I said I wouldn't do 'cos i'l get obssessed ...and the only scales I could find only went up to 18 stones (approx 252lbs)...so I didn't get any!!

What do you think guys? a conspiracy?? so i've now decided I'l just wait until I get to the gym...problem is that weeks ago I was only 2lbs away from twoterville!! and I'm sure that I'm there now but can't Celebrate without that confirmation....lol

Indianlight,

Good idea not to buy the scale!! I'm completely obsessed with mine. And no matter how many times I say I will only weigh myself twice a week...I'm on that sucker every morning!! So strange since prior to surgery, I wouldn't get on a scale if my life depended on it!!

I am in.

BPM 288 230

Bring it. :heh:

Checking in at 268 this morning. My rate of weight loss slowed a bit for a while and I hit a nasty plateau for about 2 weeks but I seemed to have broken through it and am losing again.

If I am going to make 230...I need to step it up.

so I'm back up 4 pounds. I was down to 364 and today I was 368. My PMS is kind of out of whack too though so I don't know what the deal is. I need to workout.

How is everyone? Any halloween parties this weekend?

I am doing my best to avoid ALL candy for Halloween. I'm an all or none type of person so if I have one piece, it will definitely lead to a binge. There are some foods that I have to completely avoid. I hope everyone else is doing well.

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
