hi all,

just thought i would give everyone an update on me well i called my dr and let them know that i'm eating more and i think i need a fill so they told me to come in tuesday. so im so happy about that as i was to come in next month before. i went and got and the scale again at my dr's office and it said i gained again. and i was just on it on tuesday. so im just gonna use the weightloss clinic's scale as there's is the only one that counts. so i will only be getting weighted monthly now.

but, the funny thing is im not mad or any thing as i now relize i was weighing myself way to much. and it was only stressing me out. so he-- with that. well everyone wish me luck.:w00t:

I was cleared by my doc to start weightlifting last week and I've been hitting them pretty hard, as a result the scale hasn’t moved this week, my arms are up 1.5" and belly is down 3" though so I guess I can live with it. Tomorrow I will finish week 4 of couch to 5k, if your knees are up to it I highly recommend it. I actually look forward to running for the first time in my life, weird:blush:?

Welcome Debi,

What would help to finish out the spreadsheet is the following...

Highest Weight

Current Weight

Goal Weight

Looks like the 166 lbs is your weight at time of surgery right?

Hi everyone,

I just got my first fill today so I will weigh in on January 31. I have gained and lost the same pound for a week. Just happy it was only 1 pound. Hopefully I will meet my 5 pound goal by Saturday. Thanks! :bored:

Hey all!

Well I have my final weight for the month. I lost another 6 lbs this week bringing my monthly total to 11 lbs. I didn't meet my 20 lbs goal but still I am happy with the 11 lbs weight loss. I am ready to get started on February and will set a more realistic goal for February too. LOL

Just checking in with my total for the month. I lost one more pound this week for a total of 6 lbs. for the month. My goal was 10, but I set that when I was supposed to get a fill mid-month. I'm good with 6 lbs. I'll stick with a 10-lb. goal for February since I SHOULD be getting my first fill 2/12 and am hoping that will make a difference. Six lbs. is good, but guess what's great??

I hit "onderland" today. Woohoo!

BTW - Where is this spreadsheet? Is it going to be posted? I think the month's biggest loser should get to put a "January 2009 How Low Can You Go Challenge Winner" ribbon in their signature.

      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.
