Welcome to the Club 503-250!!

Its that easy! What we usually like is for people to tell us a bit about themselves and if you look on the first page you'll see the list of members and their stats by their name. If you want your stats on there, just include them in your post and I'll put them on there for ya.

Once a week, on Wednesdays, we all report our current weight and then the person in charge of updates for that month will edit the stats.

So glad you joined!

I'm not going to be able to do weekly weightins currently, being my size there aren't many scales available for usage. Appearently only those truck scales on the side of the highway, industrial laundry and me need scales that large.

I was weighed in today tho. I am currently 456 down from 503. If there is a better format for this please be gentle when you spank me to correct me...and I prefer Telly does the spanking since she has that look in her eye. Just don't tell my wife...LOL

503... I started at 393 and couldn't find a scale that would weigh me. Someone on here suggested an ebay store they got theirs from. The scale I bought for $35 goes up to 440#'s and they also have scales that go up to 550#'s. Their stores site is www.OLDWILLKNOTT.com and the scale is very accurate. It was right on with my doctors scale.

Welcome to GFG Club! *HUG*

I did a 9 mile walk/jog and almost died. I swear I will never do that again, on my own..especially with an uncharged iPod. It died on me on the way back. Family and friends..waving at me as they pass me by and my husband, so sweet, he brought me freshly cold Water somewhere around mile 5 and I'm dying in the heat and no music to get me pumped to go home. I didn't have the guts to say, "take me home".

I lost 6lbs doing it...yay! Guess where that puts me? It's temporary folks. Very temporary. Give me a few hours.. lol. it will come back.

Awww.. 503, you dont have to weigh in at all if you dont want. Some do, some dont. The idea of this club was to bring some folks together that wanted a closer community of friends who believe the band does work if we work it and that we can keep the weight off. We wanted the club to be what each member needed for their own journey, not a competition or one person's personal thread. So.. now that you've joined, take what ya need, give what ya can.. but above all know that we are all in this together and you can count on an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, and friends around you to help hold ya up. :P

That.. is the Gone for Good Club! :D

PS - And we also have our secret weapon.. Telly *winks*

I was banded on 12/6/06 and I have since had 4 fills. I am at 8.5cc in the VG band which I was informed today holds 10cc, but can be overfilled...not what I wanted to hear.

I am hoping this fill yields alot of restriction and foaming and sliming and PBing and anything else that lets me know it's working.

I will add that we do a competition sometimes, but that it is monthly, and just for some fun. that is not what this group is centered around though. there are just monthly challenges within the Gone for Good group as a whole.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
