bigrick 0 Posted November 13, 2008 Still no movement for me, scheduled another fill for 12/1, hopefully that will get me moving again. Good job by everyone though, keep going as you are providing me with the inspiration I need! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Goat 0 Posted November 19, 2008 Hi Guys Feeling pretty good about things right now. Went to see the Shrink today stepped on his scales lost another 4 lbs (that brings me to 285). He likes to see his patients loose 3% body weight or more be for surgery and I have lost 8% that I have done my part to get ready. Tomorrow I will just be another guy with the Band working on getting Healthy and Skinny. See you on the other side Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the scales are starting to swing, though.....adding in some walking on the treadmill, of all things seems to be very effective for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigrick 0 Posted November 19, 2008 So Old Goat, by now you have joined the ranks or as I write this you are on the table getting it done, either way my heartfelt congratulations on the first step of your journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mediummike 0 Posted November 20, 2008 (edited) Nothing gained, nothing lost. Holding at 254 (which is pretty weird, I think - I usually fluctuate quite a bit). Oh well. Patiently waiting for 240's... Edited November 20, 2008 by mediummike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Goat 0 Posted November 26, 2008 Hi Guys: Feeling pretty good again just returned from the Doctors, staple removal day and the official scales. Pat on the back dropped another 10lbs down to 275lbs and start solid food today. You remember cottage cheese, string cheese, a little deli Turkey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigrick 0 Posted December 6, 2008 Well FINALLY downward movement after a long stagnant time and I am below the 300 mark for the first time in more than 15 years! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Goat 0 Posted December 6, 2008 Great news BigRick. As for the Old Goat no pat on back gained 2 lbs last week. But weigh in for me is now Sunday the start of a new week, will adjust my Ticker then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mediummike 0 Posted December 11, 2008 254...AGAIN ! Think I have to shake it up a bit. I actually lost like 4 ounces, but it has been a while on the 254 handle. Did make it through Thanksgiving and some work related travel without gaining - I'll try a little extra before Christmas comes to move the scale a bit...

Old Goat 0 Posted December 11, 2008 Hi Guys: Well I dropped the two pounds that I gained and quite a few more Sunday weighed in at 266. Thats a 9 pound loss from 11/26/08 think I'm still on the just banded Honeymoon. Remember to watch out for Xmas foods, and surly you wont let a 70 year old goat bet you in the race to good health?:wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigrick 0 Posted December 13, 2008 Down to 295 for me, finally have the kind of restriction I needed and am moving downward once again. What has happened to Fenton? He was one of the starters here and no word from him, anybody know? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Goat 0 Posted December 23, 2008 Old Goat here on the go down another 5 pounds off in the last two weeks. Man have I been starving but had my first fill on 12-16 2.5 cc and another on 12-23 2 cc for a total of 4.5 cc. Still on liquids and mushes so not sure if it will help the hunger. Guys have a Merry Christmas and a Merry New Year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
