hollyberries 2 Posted December 12, 2007 Hey Everyone! I just wanted to share that I hit a big milestone today. I have lost exactly 50lbs. I am so elated, I cannot even explain. I know that things will slow down and I am expecting it. I am not sure what I am doing but I can say that I must have some restriction because I feel satisfied after I eat and I am not really hungry between meals. I eat between 1000 and 1200 calories per day and try to ensure that my Protein intake is between 50-70 grams. I haven't hit "Bandster Hell" yet and am waiting for it to come any day but until then I will be happy with my results. Thanks for letting my shine for a few minutes.

TxArcher 2 Posted December 12, 2007 Yeah Hollie, I know how you feel... so excited... I am so happy for you. I have decided to make Wednesday my "weigh day" I don't own a scale so I just run over to my bariatric center about 5 miles away at lunch on wednesday's and today was my 2 week post-op mark. I am down a total of 40 Lbs. today! I love the way this thing is working! I get my first fill on jan 9th. I can't wait to see what happens after I get some restriction!!! Will be praying for all you fellow Nymphs! Craig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hollyberries 2 Posted December 14, 2007 Hey my fellow football enemy! You are doing fantastic. How do you feel? What can you do now that you couldn't do before? These are things to measure more than weight. One thing that I have noticed is that I don't sweat anymore when I lead worship at church. Let me tell you, that is accomplishment. Keep up the good work! God's Blessings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TxArcher 2 Posted December 14, 2007 Hey my fellow football enemy! You are doing fantastic. How do you feel? What can you do now that you couldn't do before? These are things to measure more than weight. One thing that I have noticed is that I don't sweat anymore when I lead worship at church. Let me tell you, that is accomplishment. Keep up the good work! God's Blessings. Yeah, I poke around in all your threads just to let you know that the BOYZ are the BEST! they Will beat your pattys!!! Anyway... WOW I am noticing that I don't sweat as much either. I just assumed it was because it is butt-freezing-cold here right now! Just kidding. I don't sweat as much just sitting at my desk either. Before I lost weight, my back always stayed damp with sweat. YUK. I noticed just this morning that I can sit on the coffee table and put my shoes on (that is where I always had to put them on before) without contorting myself into a morbidly obese pretzel just to get them tied! My eyes were not about to be projected from their sockets an impale the walls either! On a bit of a down note... My wedding band and big-'ol-honkin' college ring is about to just fall off my fingers. I am now below the weight I graduated college at! that was 5 years ago!!! I suppose I will have to get them re sized once I get to my goal weight. Maybe I can wrap some duct tape or bailing wire around the bottoms of them to take up space--- redneck jewelry making!!! yeah baby! Glad to hear that your weight is coming off too! Lets keep each other motivated! GO BOYZ!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hollyberries 2 Posted December 14, 2007 Cagstorm, you need to switch to the team that will win it all. Funny you should mention rings and shoes. My rings are getting smaller and I can tie my shoes without contorting either. I got a watch for my 40th birthday from my Aunt in October. It did not fit. I am now able to wear this watch. That is a big accomplishment. Also, why does God make us lose weight from our face down. Darn it I want my stomach to disapper but no the turkey neck is the first to go. Did I mention that I love my Band! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
