Well went to doctor today and got to weigh in. I am so depressed right now. How do you go from loosing 52 lbs in 4 weeks to only 4 lbs in 2 weeks? I am still only eating around 1500 cal/day. This really sucks.

Whole gallon of ice cream in a day. Whole box of Little Debbie snack cakes in one sitting. Large bags of chips and jar of queso at one sitting. Entire box of mac & cheese with a can of tuna added plus hot sauce and lots of ranch dressing added (this was my dinner almost every night for years). 4 hot dogs with mayo for…

You can do it! I have 300 lbs to lose. Started at 548 5 weeks ago and down to 496 now (52 lbs lost) I go back to doctor Tuesday, and I hope to be 473 or less so I can have lost 75 lbs or more in 6 weeks :)

Well all day yesterday I was fine. No pain, no nausea. If it was a stone, it must have been small and I passed it when I was in pain and throwing up. If it wasn't, well it's gone now. I didn't go to the ER or anywhere else. If it happens again, I will go immediately. Thanks for all your concern and comments.

I chose to wait cause even if I go to the ER, all pharmacies are closed now and I wont be able to get any Rx filled till then anyway. As far as an Urgent Care, there is only 1 I know of that is close to me (25 miles), and they don't take my insurance. And it takes at least 2-3 weeks from time I call to get appt. w/ my PCP.…

Sorry, I thought it was showing that you flagged my post. I now understand what you meant by OP (Original Post). Guess someone thought what I posted was either a lie, or a way to grab attention and them try to sell something. Only reasons I can think of. Anyway, again I am sorry.

I don't know why you are flagging my posts as spam, but I wish you would leave me alone. Why are you being so hateful to me? I don't know you and wish you would stay out of my threads.

Don't know who you mean by OP. I have not flagged anyone.

Thanks guys for all the love and support. :D

Thanks everyone for the comments. In case you haven't see my other post. last week I weighed in at 496. 52 lbs in 4 weeks and first time under 500 in 6 years. I go back to doctor next Tuesday, and I am hoping for 473 or under. 473 would be 75 lbs in 6 weeks. I will do an update post Tuesday night. Again, thats for all the…

Thanks for all the love and support. I really appreciated it. I hope that my journey may be of some inspiration to someone else. If there is any way I can help any of you, please send me a message.

Thanks, and you are exactly right. If I have the surgery, I will only be able to eat a small amount and little calories. Plus there will be foods I can never eat again :( So what is to keep me from eating a small amount of calories now? Why can't I lose this on my own, without being hacked up? And after all is said and…

Thanks guys for the support and kind words. I really appreciate it.

Best of luck to you and your dad. I know you wont give up on him, you just have to convince him to not give up on himself. Believe me, if I can do it-anyone can.

thanks everyone for the love and support you are giving me. I go back to my regular doctor on the 25th of this month, so look for an update then.

Don't give up on the weight loss clinic idea. They don't just do surgeries. Even tho I have postponed my surgery, I still am going for the medical management side of it. They have some great resources available such as dieticians, exercise counselors, and not to mention that you just need to be medically monitored…

Need to up your fat intake. You are only averaging 150g fat on a 6000+ calorie diet. I eat 60-75g of fat on just a 1500 calorie diet. Your body needs fat (good fat), just don't load up on transfat. I would suggest maybe try for 250-300g of fat a day.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the love and support. I wish each and every one of you success on your journey as well.

Thanks everyone.

Great Job, keep it up

Wow!! HUGE difference! Great Job!! Keep up the good work, I know you will make your goal. You look great!

thanks again to everyone that has left me words of encouragement. I really need it and appreciate it. Some of you are saying 1500 calories a day is not enough, but the thing is-that even tho I have dropped from about 4800 to 1500-I am not all that hungry. Actually, I feel I am still eating quite a bit of food, it's just…

Thanks again for all the words of encouragement. I go back to the bariatric clinic Monday and will let you all know what was said and if any more weight lost.

let me know if the img or the link or both work

gonna try and see if I can post a pic of one of my daily food logs so you can see what I eat. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1520304864893413&set=a.1380904278833473.1073741829.100007417416758&type=1&theater

Thanks for all the wonderful comments, encouragement, and advice. I really appreciate it :smiley: I realize that I wont be losing that amount of weight all the time. But maybe I can lose another 100 and get down to around 400 before it starts to slow down. When I get down to that 400 area, I feel I should then be able to…
