Freedom Fighters Weekly Weigh In

Hi Everyone!

Was still plateaued last week. Got my 2nd fill (finally - 5 months after banding!). So far, it is helping. Of course, a couple of days on liquids never hurts, right?

Anyway, finally down some. 3.5 pounds this week.

Starting weight 233

Today's weight 191

I am ready to recharge that motivation battery! :thumbup:

Good Morning everyone!

I hate to say this, because I don't want to jinx myself, but I think the band is doing what it's supposed to - finally! I am not able to eat as much, and I don't get hungry often. I still get stuck more than I like, but I think it's that 1st bite syndrome. Hopefully that will go away soon.

Anyway, here it is:

Starting weight: 233

This week: 188.5

Not going to make my goal by year end, but I'm ok with it. I made that plan before my 2 month long plateau.

Hope everyone has a great Monday.:willy_nilly:

Good Monday Morning Everyone!

I only lost 1/2 pound this week, but I'm ok with it. I see the band working. Unfortunately, I didn't work the band so much this week.

Funny how we find ourselves slipping into old habits sometimes... We had 6 inches of snow this weekend. I know for many of you that's no big deal, but it's a huge deal here. We get a dusting to an inch or two once or twice a year, so the whole world shuts down when we get significant snow. Anyway, all families have their traditions, and one of ours is junk food when it snows. Additionally, I am a caterer and this is my busy season. We lost a couple of events on Friday due to the snow. Now I can't say I'm too upset about that, as I have worked 60-70 hour weeks all month, and my husband and sons took off to Orlando to see my daughter, who won't be home for Christmas. So, I was all alone and completely exhausted. I didn't leave the house from Friday night to Sunday morning. I didn't even take off my pajamas.

Now I didn't do as badly as I could have, but I did find myself eating constantly. I craved bad food. Fortunately, we didn't have a lot of bad food in the house, but I did have a hard time. So, all that to say that losing a half pound this week is not so bad. I'm back to work and back to reality today.

I need to develop some tactics to combat those urges next time. I think I was just too exhausted to fight too hard. Any suggestions would be appreciated.:ohmy:

On another note, I did get my Christmas shopping done yesterday. Took a lot of determination, but I got most of it done. Yay!:thumbup:

Starting weight 233

Current Weight 188

Merry Christmas to you all!

2 weeks ago: 188

today: 188

Back to being diligent...no more junk in the house, back to regular work schedule, back to losing weight. I haven't been able to eat much, so it must be that I am eating the wrong stuff...:thumbup:

I have joined the valentine's weight loss challenge and will get to 175 by valentine's day. :blushing:

Have a good Monday, everyone.

Well, as of last Tuesday, my band/port is now fixed. Doctor told me he put 3 cc's in the band. So i guess I'm starting all over again with fills.

In any case, here is where I'm at now as I try to get in gear again....

surgery wt: 244.7

todays wt: 233.6

2010 is the year....i had hoped to hit the 40# mark before now...so many of you have so surpassed that (sigh)....but I'm again on my way.

Happy New Year to all!

Well, it has been a while since I've been on here. My second job has taken up so much time, but I quit that, so here I am again.

Starting weight: 283

Surgery weight: 270

Current weight: 228

The scale flirted with 227 this morning, but I weighed again (I always weight twice to make sure it's accurate) and it was 228. So, I weighed a third time and it was 228 again. Oh, well, it will come!

      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.
