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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
