weekly scale challenge



Recommended Posts

Well gals, I can finally join the Monday scales challenge, today makes 1 week. I've been weighing it every other day, though I will have to cheat when I go to doc this week.

I know I'm at a great advantage right now, being a new bandster. but I'm enjoying the ride....down

Betty, my DH just came in with a box of Dunkin Donuts for me to take to the office, as soon as he saw my face he knew he'd screwed up and apologized.

I thought, well, I could suck that filling through a straw, then my band said, (NO, don't do it!)

Just got off the scales, -16.5 lbs, :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana

(includes the 3 lbs of fluids I gained in hospital)

That now makes me a onesy and very glad I didn't suck the filling out of that donut, LOL.

Dec 7, Day after surgery 215

Today 198.5

Oh yes, I will be good!

That's fantastic, Pat! That beginning drop is such a boost. Lauri, 3 lbs. is awesome!

Everyone else is doing great, too! Just staying the same at this time of the year is good.

Well there is a God....

After a week in Vegas and lots of eating I still lost a pound today. Phew!!!

Had to be all the walking I did in Vegas.

So needless to say I am a very very happy man.

Go to Dr for my third Fill today at 2pm. I don't feel any restrictions now(again).

So hopefully I'll get that full feeling back again.

Well I'm editing this now as I have returned from the Dr and we agree on weight loss. But since my last visit on 11/04/04 I lost another 1 1/2 inches off waist one more inch off hips and another 1/2 inch off neck. So the one pound loss isn't so bad since the exercising is moving inches around and I can handle that.

Greg -you are doing a great job! Keep it up!

Teresa- 2.2 is Awesome! It feels soooo good to see the scales drop after a little stand still. I'm really proud of you. Just think of the many people GAINING this time of year.

No gain last week, up 3 pounds this week. Unfill, coughing croup, and zero exercise are a very bad combination. Got meds today and a cough Syrup to knock me out tonight. "All I want for Christmas is a good night's sleep."

Sorry you're sick, Marie. Feel better soon.

I gained two pounds this week. How? How did that happen? I've been a good girl, I promise. But I am now fitting into a smaller size, so that's a good thing.

I haven't checked in for a long time. I think I'll come back and see you all on Monday, cuz I keep losing and gaining the same old 5 pounds. I want them to GO AWAY!

Wow that's great Betty!! I am down 1.5 this week, I wish it were more but I'll sure take it. I am just wondering when I should get a fill.

Betty and Melissa... that is an awesome accomplishment during the holidays! *applause* :(

I'm not going to weigh today... Aunt Flow came to visit AND I nearly ate myself out of house and home before she got here! Sooo.... my present to myself... Not to see the damage I've done! :confused:

I was hoping this fill would be my "sweet spot" ... after shoving in 2 slices of pizza in... followed by a huge slice of ice-cream cake... I'm thinking probably not! At least we had enough people over for my daughter's pre-happy-bithday celebration and there is zip cake left... WHEW!

Have a wonderful holiday week everyone!

Way to go Betty and Melissa

Great Job, especially this time of year.

For me not weight loss, but no gain either which is a total shock since I'm not making the best of food choices right now with all the "Christmas goodies" I have been eating. Got to get back on track starting today..it's a new week!!!

      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.
