16 days post op
Mar 17, 2010
I am 16 days out and not losing weight. Today the scale said 216 again. Yesterday it was 214! WTF!
How can this be? I know I shouldn't weight myself everyday but, the scale is there and I am always hoping it will go down and I will feel good about that. How can I be eating so little and not lose weight!

Well I made it two weeks. I am down 11 pounds and feeling pretty good. I have moved on to soft foods and that is fabulous. I think 11 pounds doesn't sound like a lot but, I feel good and think I am losing inches. I fit into some size 16 clothing which is a wonderful feeling. I can soon go shopping for some spring clothes in a size 16.

10 days out!
Mar 13, 2010
I am down to 215 and feeling good. The pureed food is ok. I am excited to move on to soft foods next week. The varitey is seriously lacking. I am fitting into some size 16 pants but, I need about 5 more pounds to really fit into them, maybe even 10 more pounds.

One week out!!
Mar 08, 2010
I am one week out today and I feel fabulous! I felt pretty awful for the first 2 days and then better and better each day. It was very hard yesterday only having liquids was getting to me. I can see the light at the end of tunnel now. Only today and tomorrow and then I can have pureed foods. They sound like gourmet meal at this point. I am sure I will be sick of them by day 5 too. It is all good as long as the scale keeps going down. I am down 4.5 pounds since surgery. Down 9 since the liquid pre op diet. That makes it seem worth it.

Feeling sorry for my self today.
Oct 08, 2009
My husband is out of town and I am in terrible pain. I think it is kidney stones. I had the pain all evening last night and again this morning. I called my sister for help and she couldn't be bothered.
It makes me feel like I have no support from my family. My truck is not inspected and I can't go to the ER alone with my little girl. It makes me relize how much I will need the support of the people on this site and from the support group people. If I can ever make it to one. There is a meeting tonight but, I doubt I will make it because I don't have a sitter.
Ok well enough whining for today.

Oh the waiting is so hard

I am starting to feel like I will die of fustration before I even meet with the doctor let alone get approval from the insurance and a date.
I am failing misseribly at losing weight as usual. I feel hungry all the time. I alway think I eat even more when on a diet just because I am always thinking about food.
Anyway I had a great day yesterday and a pretty good one today too. Not food wise but, good for my Spirit.

Learning
Oct 01, 2009
I am trying to get on the site everyday and learn as much as I can. I am trying to get to know people and be supportive. My nephew is home from Afganistan for a couple of weeks and we have been doing a lot of visiting and eating. He hasn't had American food for 10 months so he wanted to eat all kinds of things. Pizza, donuts, cheese steaks. ect... Then the fair last night. Man I have to get on the band wagon. It is hard to do. Temptation is overwelming.
The journey has begun again!

I am on my second attempt at WLS. I didn't get approved a few years when I tried but, I am going give it another try. I have new insurance and co morbidities.
I am going to be 40 in November and on my way to 250 pounds. YIKES!
I am amazed by that statement. I have always been heavy since about 13 yrs old. Not seriously overweight but, by the time I was 30 it was out of control. I thought I was so fat at a size 10 when I got married the first time 21yrs ago and now I would feel like a beauty queen at that size. What a differnce in my perspective.
I am now married for the second time to a wonderful man and he loves me just the way I am. I have 2 children one 16yr old by and one 22 month old girl. Losing weight is no longer just about looking good it is about living a healthy life so I can be around to play with and enjoy my little girl and my future Grandchildren.
I would love to get and give support through these forums as I beileve that support is one of the most crusial parts of this journey. I love my family and they try to be supportive but, most can't relate to what it is like to be on this path. with one exception, my twin sister who struggles as much as I do with her weight. She is also on this journey with me and hopefully together with the help of friends we will meet along the way we will reach are weightloss goals.
Lots of love and light to you all.
