weekly scale challenge



Recommended Posts

Thanks Darcy,

Two weeks ago I got off track a little and paid for two weeks for it LOL. So I too am back on the fast track. Realized I'm not going to make my goal if I keep testing the Water.

Like Tell the dogs. Bad boy lay down... So I've been a bad boy and I'm laying down whats not on my schedule to eat. Right Hand held high as I say "I PROMISE"

Hellllo Monday! Well, I can finally join in with you guys for the monday weigh in .Gosh I'm so excited!! Ok, I know that the first few weeks after being banded is for healing and settling in, and that any weight loss during this time is bonus, but....it's been 9 days now (still on liquids) and I am down a couple pounds... well ok 11.5 to be exact! Whoo hoooo!!!! I am sure this will slow and even jump a bit when I start mushies so I am already putting that in the back of my mind not to be disappointed but today, whoo I am so happy!

I though over the weekend, being with everyone that I would see a gain, especially since I was put on solids, and I had some wine too. I got on the scale this morning and I am down 2 more pounds! :)

Marie, is that 6 lbs in a week? That must feel wonderful. I haven't lost that much in a week since surgery.

I think my 2cc fill is going to do me just fine for a little while... it is that time of the month, so I should probably be up this morning, but I am down .5 lbs... brings me to 236.5.

Have a great week!

Greg,

Thank you for the "pick-me-up"! :) I didn't lose any weight this week either but I have found out why, I'm pregnant. Well, that is what two home pregnancy tests showed. Now I guess I have to get unfilled. I am so afraid. I know I will immediately gain the 31 pounds I have lost. I have found comfort in knowing that I can get a fill after my child is born. I am mostly afraid of having problems with my baby. I have diabeters and I am sure I have to do major controlling now. Well, I will see my doctor later today.

Veronica: OUR FIRST BANDSTER BABY. Oh my gosh you will have so many aunts, uncles, grandmothers (ME), grandfathers, etc to get you through this time. I am so excited for you. Concentrate on the baby for now and we will help you through this.

I weighed myself this morning. Then I realized I had eaten Breakfast before weighing. I still showed a 1 lb loss. So in actuality I could have lost more but for now I am only counting the 1 lb loss. WHOO HOO!!!

I still think exercise and Water are the key to jump starting your loss again. That is what did it for me.

Congrats to all losers and to the gainers or no losers time can change everything.

Ro, you can pick any day of the week that works for you. Just stay off that scale for a full week! It's hard at first, but it really saves your sanity once you get used to it.

V, Congratulations on the pregnancy! You'll have a much healthier pregnancy w/ that 31 pounds gone upfront. Now, just concentrate on eating healthy, consistent exercise, and having a beautiful, healthy baby! Your band will be there waiting on you when you are ready to use it again. This is the first "bandster baby" since I've been here. Please keep in touch so we can follow your progress. Best of luck to you!

Sass, I've had some pain problems recently, unfills, gains. So that 6 lbs. was way past due. I think my body was just playing "catch up."

Best of luck to everyone this week!

I seem to always be short on my Water intake. But I didn't feel like riding my bike for about 2 1/2 weeks. Now, I'm back and feel so much better when I do (physically and emotionally).

Veronica, you're the first one I know that's going through pregnancy on these boards (I've only been around 6 months) so I'm super excited for you. I'm 42 and was never blessed with babies, so I hope this is a smooth and easy process. Good luck to you, and stay band-positive. xo

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
