    Sunday Weigh In (4/8/2018)

    I keep forgetting to get on the scale on Sunday morning. A few weeks ago I was 132.7 Friday I was 130.7 The scale wobbled into the high 120’s and I was stunned. I haven’t even been close to 120-anything since probably 1983.

    DS or SIPS

    Your choice is yours alone. The SIPS procedure looks less worrisome so far. But...I had a Lap-Band placed with short term data but no long term studies. At 2 years out I was a star patient. I was down 100+ lbs, normal BMI and I felt great. 6 months later the problems started. In a few years I...

    Sunday Weigh In (3/18/2018)

    LW 132.4 TW 132.4 Despite the requisite Irish Revelry and Corned Beef I managed to not gain. Phew! Also- met some great people at an Irish Pub in Chicago. Had hours of fun being treated like long lost family. And there were BAGPIPERS. ON THE BAR! Cool weekend.

    Anti-anxiety Meds Recommendations?

    Xanax makes a sublingual dissolving tablet. Quite effective as a “rescue” anxiety med. Fast acting and unaltered response as compared to pre DS effectiveness.

    Sunday Weigh In (2/18/2018)

    I just noticed we are the exact same weight this week! Congrats on getting to your goal! Vanity sizing is silly. I was this weight in 1987 and was a size 12 everywhere. (I thought I was a moose back then.) Now I’m a Calvin Klein 12 or an Eddie Bauer 4/6. JJill I’m darn close to a size small...

    Sunday Weigh In (2/18/2018)

    LW: IDK TW:134.4 I feel great this week. Bought 2 new dresses. Designer sizing 12’s. Would be size 6 in vanity sizing. I feel healthy. I love what the mirror is telling me. 11 months out and I’m still in awe of the power of this surgery.

    Sunday Weigh In (2/4/2018)

    LW 134.4 TW 135.3 Added protein and fat to up my intake. First non loss week in a month. This makes me happy. Still down 7 lbs this month. Size 6 pants are comfortably loose. Size medium shirts perfect. The mirror is telling me this is a good place to live. (I was this size in 9th grade!)

    Sunday Weigh In (1/21/2018)

    LW 138.6 TW 138 Lost 10 lbs in a month. Too much, too fast. (11 months post op.) I feel like I look sick. Trying to boost calories and protein. Not easy to do with one hand in a cast and unusable (arthritis surgery.) Never thought I’d be trying to not lose weight.

    Things to do at work besides showing your penis to coworkers...

    We have a Sheriff here in Maine who needed to read that list. Unfortunately no one sent him a link, now he’s an ex-sheriff.

    Sunday Weigh In (12/17/2017)

    LW 149.2 TW 147.2 And that includes cookie day. Which means taste testing everything. Luckily cookies now make me GO. My new intestines do not like cookies as much as I do. Probably a good thing. Happy whatever you celebrate to everyone. (Said lovingly not sarcastically)

    Thanksgiving - Managing eating

    I ate turkey, potato, corn and stuffing. Until I was comfortably full. Then I did all the dishes, pots and pans in the sink. An hour later I finished my reheated plate and even had a bite or three of pumpkin pie. This surgery is a million times better than my old CrapBand. I feel normal and...
