christmas goals group, check in late... sorry

I will post next monday how everyone is doing. Thursday my scale had gone as high as 194. Came home at 195 from the surgery.... this am???? 185. YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started the group at 185 and gained regardless of what I was doing. However I have to rethink things. Gonna have to rely on walking for exercise, as I'm gonna be VERY Limited for a while.

The important thing is you are feeling better.  Take care and go slow.  I think you will still reach your goal now that you are healthy. 

I am down 3 pounds this week and 10 pounds since I started the Christmas goal.  I also ran my first 5K on Saturday. 

Your on a roll! I hope to be as ambitious!

For the first time since my surgery almost 6 months ago, I am UP a pound.  :( My weight loss has really slowed this month... Although I knew I'd eventually stall, it's pretty depressing when it actually happens!

You are doing great. after reading your post I can say that I now have more cofficent in reaching a goal. I really never thought of any gola by christmas till I read your posting. I am little over 5 month post op and I am down to 200.2 with out clothing and 204 with clothing and thats was this morning when i weighed myself. my goal is to be able to fit inot size 16 pants by christmas time. I was in size 24 and i can now fit inot size 18 but I only have one pants that size and wont buy any till I lose more weight. Cant wait to be below 200 but so glad i have this site to loomat forums

I am down 3 lbs this week.  And have 22 lbs to go for my christmas goal.  :)

Hello everyone. This is my first post in the Xmas goal group but I did set my own goal last week and am so excited to now have an accountability post for it! As of today, I am 296.6 and would love to be 275 by Christmas. I will be 1 month out from RNY tomorrow so I think this is feasible.

Hey terilyn  good job!   what are you doing as far as exercising? 

and also what are you eating..  i think i may want to get on board!  thanks.

Right now, I'm eating a very light mushies or puree's to liquid. My pouch is extremely swollen. Exercise for the week? Non-existent. I'm so physically tired, and sore that I haven't done any. Including walking any stores or anything. Dreading Halloween next week, because I'm not sure I'm gonna be up to walking so much just 1 week post op. I did buy them candy in case we have to come home sooner than usual. I had an extensive examination of my internals from my hernia repair. He checked every inch of my intestine, my pouch and the connections, and repaired the hernia. Oh and removed adhesions down by my pelvic organs (or lack of). I was loaded. I'm in a TON of pain. No one understands why. I'm exceedingly swollen. So far today... water.

Yesterday's meals.... Breakfast, carnation instant breakfast with double milk. Lunch... water? Dinner, some more cib with double milk. Food just hurts. I did suck on some sugared hard candies yesterday between breakfast and what should have been lunch. I started shaking and sweating like a low blood sugar. I didn't test, so not confirmed.
