I started my pre op yesterday...aaahh!! I am SO hungry all the time. I am peeing constantly from all the fluids and I am super cranky. But I know this too shall pass...I have lost 4 pounds already though!
This is the thread I keep posting for people to be accountable to themselves and to others on the Board for progress on their goals. You are welcome to post your weight loss progress here, along with challenges, issues or victories you are facing. No need to post your weight if you are uncomfortable with that--just join in the discussion!
I stayed the same this week, which is surprising. I have not exercised as much as usual, but I am trying to focus on good eating habits. I had slid away from tracking protein, and my doctor saw that in my bloodwork, so time to get back to the rules. (I also noticed my hair is falling out again--I don't have much to begin with, I can't afford to lose it!)
Starting weight: 298.4
Last week: 139.8
This week: 139.8
No change in weight
I expected to lose focus on my workouts during the holidays, and that has definitely happened. Anybody else have that issue? There's so many demands on our time, but I keep telling myself that this weight loss is my gift to myself and I need to keep it up! So I decided I need to plunk my money down for a race on New Year's Day--that will help me stay focused. I think I'll do the Polar Dash 5K--I don't want to do anything longer without knowing what the weather will be like. I'm a bit of a wimp about the cold, particularly cold wind.
Welcome! Good luck with your surgery. The pre-surgery diet is the hardest part, no doubt about it. Hang in there, and it will get better!!
Please join us for coffee on Saturday mornings. We have a great informal support group that meets in Burnsville or Eagan every Saturday at 8:30am. Looks like you'll be having surgery this Saturday, but come see us any other Saturday and hang out with us. We have people with all different types of surgery and all different stages and we support each other thru thick and thin!
Saturday, 12/15 is in Burnsville at the Panera Bread in Burnsville Center. Saturday, 12/22 is at the Caribou in Byerly's at Eagan Town Center. We alternate locations.
New to the boards. I'm in the SW Metro area (near Shakopee) and am having a RNY with Dr Svendson on Dec 15th at Methodist Hospital. The high protein liquid diet is killing me and driving me to not want to do this any more, but I'm already down 10lbs and I know that it's just the hunger talking as it was cookie baking weekend at my mom's house this last weekend. Would love to chat at others who are here and can help me with the craziness that is my life!
Woo HOO!!! scheduled for dec. 28th
Cant wait to take my after picture
2/22 My new beginning
Add me on MFP: Going2w1n
Hello all: sorry I missed yesterday, if there's anyone out there paying attention. 
I was actually at Dr. Chute's office for my two year follow up appointment, even tho it's been 2 1/2 years, LOL. At least I went. The good news is that I was almost exactly at the same weight as I was at my 18 month appointment, so that's a full year of maintenance at goal weight, WOOT! One year down, the rest of my life to go, 
This week's stats:
Starting weight: 298.4
Last week: 140.0
This week: 139.8
Loss of 0.2 lbs
Is it the darkness, or what? I don't know, but my motivation for running has been at low ebb. Maybe because I don't have a race on the calendar right now I am having a harder time maintaining my level of commitment to training. I have been going to the gym I joined, taking some classes and doing some strength training. Took a High Intensity Interval class last night that kicked my butt: shoulders, glutes and back are sore today, and I think the abs will be sore tomorrow--delayed reaction! It's a great class!
Have a great week, everyone, and keep your eyes on the prize. That cookie lasts a minute, but the size 10 jeans are for life!!
Seems like we have similar schedules my husband works late gets home earliest 8PM but later if working OT. I workout at Blast fitness in Sunray So I need to work out pretty late or really early(early rarely happens). Here is my email [email protected] shoot me e-mail I will send contact info. Im always willing to chat and it is hard to tal to people who have not had surgery. I haven't had any ulcers or any complications yet thank goodness.
