10/02 5 month surgiversary

Tue, 02 Oct 2007 19:56:00 -0700

This month has been a bit slow - I think I may have lost a total of 7 pounds - if that. Part of it, I'm sure has to do with my not getting to the gym nearly as much, with the holidays, with the less than careful attention to ...

09/04 - OK, I feel better now

Tue, 04 Sep 2007 12:32:00 -0700

This is the "milestone" I've been waiting for - I finally reached the lowest weight that I hit when I was succesful on Weight Watchers nearly 12 years ago, before I "lost my way" and gained it all back. How wonderful to know that if I do this right, just carefully, ...

09/02 - 4 month surgiversary

Sun, 02 Sep 2007 09:05:00 -0700

Today is my 4 month surgiversary, and while I'll "soldier on", of course I am feeling a bit discouraged. Of COURSE I measured myself (I hear all of you in the background) and I lost a total of 6 inches since 08/12 - 4 inches on my waist alone and ...

08/15 - Is it true?

Wed, 15 Aug 2007 17:21:00 -0700

According to the scale, both this morning and this evening when I returned home, I weighed (it read) 199.6. ONEderland at last?! Still, I'm not proclaiming anything until I get a little lower - I want to make sure it "sticks". The past few days have been horrible. I have neglected ...

08/02 - 3 month surgiversary, disappointed at first, but wait!

Thu, 02 Aug 2007 18:54:00 -0700

Oh man, I just erased my whole entry! Happy surgiversary!

Anyway, I was disappointed at first - I weighed myself tonight (I know, bad idea) and was rewarded on this "special day" by gaining a lb. Number of reason possibly: retaining water because ...

06/25 - Changing my goal

Mon, 25 Jun 2007 19:41:00 -0700

(Down 54 lbs.) I think I set my weight loss goal too aggressively. I set it as the weight I WANT to be instead of realizing what the WLS is capable of providing me. I don't want to be too lazy; I'm sure I can reach a reasonable goal past ...

06/22 - Major goal, milestone reached @ 8 weeks!

Fri, 22 Jun 2007 04:04:00 -0700

It happened, I did it, not quite sure how to say it, but I officially reached 50 lbs. lost. I am so grateful, and it's true what they say, the stalls pass, more protein, more water, and you get that boost, that push to start losing again! Now that I'm eating ...

06/17 - "I shouldn't be", "I shouldn't be"..but maybe I SHOUL

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 21:24:00 -0700

I shouldn't be jealous of those people who had surgery after me and have lost more.

I shouldn't be upset that things are slow for me now - according to the nutritionist, if I up my protein, I should be fine.
