Monday Morning Weigh In

Was scared to death to get on my scale this morning after being on vacation for 4 weeks!!!  I did weigh on another scale... but scales are all different.  Not happy with the number per say but it's fine considering I've been in Arizona and not planning my meals.  Now time to get back to business...

Highest:  308
Surgery:  278
Last Week: 154
Today:  155
Weekly loss: +1
Total loss:  -153 lbs

You've been on vacation for a month and not planning your meals and you only gained 1lb???? Excellent work!!! 

That's my goal for August!!!  Getting  back on track and dumping this weight I have put back on............BLECH!!!! 

  This is the "honeymoon" right??? I am doing good, but wishing it was a bit faster... but I will take what I can get! I am ready for ONEderland!

Highest Weight:  258
Consult weight:  252
Surgery day weight:  240 (by my scale -18 pre-op diet)
Last weeks weight: 210
Todays weight:  207
Loss for the week = 3 lbs = 51 lbs lost

Yep...that's what they call it "Honeymoon Phase" and use it to the best of your ability!! You are doing very well for 2 1/2 months out!  Keep up the good work!!!

Hugs, Mari

 Morning Mari,

Hag is what I am calling it this AM too.   LOL   Not a good weekend or rather not good choices !!!  I don't really see me making good choices today either.   It is my B Day and hey...when you get to be my age.....well...lets say I will probably eat what I want or some of it anyway.   I try to keep "junk food" in my son's room and not in the kitchen but it is pretty bad when you go into there and get some of it.  LOL ....I know....I was bad last night !!  LOL But today is a better day and I hope to make good decisions today.   Love ya and look forward to seeing you next weekend.


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Happy Birthday...again! 

Happy Birthday Viv, make it the best one yet.

Love, Elaine aka  Sunshine Diva

Phooey! I call it HAG every morning!!  But is no one's fault but my own.......sigh

BTW 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! I'm a little late on this, but better late than never!!

Hugs,  M

Highest/surgery:  263

Last week:  149

Today:  154

Gain/loss for the week:  +5

Total loss:  -109

The reason for this seemingly catastrophic gain is that I had PS last week and my legs are swollen up like tree trunks.  So no real worries.  The plastic surgeon removed my four drains this morning (thank God - they were making me homicidal) and prescribed support hose to reduce the leg swelling.

I had excess skin removed from my abdomen, thighs, and upper arms.  The incisions are shocking:  all the way from elbows to armpits, all the way from knees to groin, and all across the lower belly, like a big purple smile, plus a relocated belly button.  Obviously I will be waiting until next year to enjoy the benefits (sleeveless tops, non-Bermuda shorts, etc.), but hey, I've been waiting 45 years; what's one more?  I am so thrilled that I finally got it done.  The new stomach is so flat I keep wondering who it can belong to.  Surely not me ...

Congratulations on your PS! Can't wait to 'see' the new you!
