Sunday Weigh In (7/9/2017)

[southernlady]

Well, last week did not get on the scale so claimed 140.
This week 143 (AND this is why I don't count odd weighings)
Yes, I did see 139 this past week but most of the week I was off my feed with a head cold. My appetite is back and has been since Friday.

LW: 160
TW: 162

Up 2 pounds. Instead of stressing about the scale, I'm going to focus on the fact that I am 11 months out this week and at 89% EWL.
Psyching up for hernia surgery in 9 days. Pre-op testing tomorrow.

Good idea...look ahead...and for a few weeks after your hernia surgery, stay away from the scale. Remember they will pump you full of fluids and that won't help your healing to see the numbers rise.

3 week stall? I guess that puts me exactly where I should be at this point lol.

Glad you're feeling better. Thanks for pointing out that odd weighings should be discarded.

LW: 182.9
TW: 178.1 (down 4.8 lbs)

Today is 4 months since surgery. I am down a total of 50.1 lbs since that day. That is 50% of my excess. And I feel human. And I eat normal foods (minus the sugar and flour...usually.). Today I am thankful.

LW 157
TW 158

Bouncing around with 3-5 lbs all week. Just trying to focus on the necessities-- protein and vitamins.

Exactly. And as long as you are still losing, even a lb or inches, it's not a stall. For some reason, the body tends to lose lbs or inches, not both, LOL

Yeap, protein vitamins and enough fat to grease the shoot

Last week - 150
This week - 151

Seems to be a trend this week.

Didn't weigh this week as I was out of town, and now officially on summer break from school (though not from work!).

I had my review of my annual labs with my PCP this week, and have a call with Dr Gagner this week (he had to reschedule). Everything looks good, and I got my regular Vit D shot. The best part is that my blood pressure has gone from high to borderline low (though still in 'ideal'). My PCP doesn't see a lot of bariatric surgery patients, because it's Asia, and every time I go is astounded at my progress. He also is a dream to work with, in that we work as peers and he's not the least bit a condescending doctor.

153, same as last week

Glad to hear it.

We drove to Memphis yesterday to meet and pickup our 5 grandkids for a couple of weeks. We spent the night and drove home today with a stop in Nashville to tour the Parthenon and museum. Needless to say I did not weigh this morning. I weighed Saturday morning so I'm using it.

Last week 138
This week. 137.5

We went to a rib joint in Memphis last night and I ordered a half rack. They were delicious and I ate most of it, except for some I gave my hubs. I really didn't know whether to feel proud I was able to eat well or scared!

It was funny when the grandkids saw me. None of them said a thing but I could see a look on their faces. It felt really good and also keeping up with them more easily is a huge plus.

I'm unable to weigh this week as we're on vacation, which is a good thing because I'm having a carb extravaganza. But I'm also walking way more than I do in real life, so we'll see how the scale reacts when I get home.
Have a great week, everyone!
