Valentine Day Challenge?



Recommended Posts

Well, I exceeded my original Valentine's goal of 169 but didn't make my second Valentine's Day goal of 159. Although, I'm happy with my progress!

Happy Valentine's Day Bandsters!!!! Don't eat to much chocolate!!!!:smile:

I had a goal of 193. For the first few weeks, I thought there was no way I was going to lose it. And then I dropped like ten pounds in a week! It's funny how the body does that, huh? Now I am down to 187 and feeling really good. I might be single, but it's still a good Valentine's Day! :smile:

Congrats to everyone on this board! I know a lot of people made (and surpassed) their goals, but for those who didn't, don't worry about it! You lost something! The weight we lost during this challenge is weight we never have to see again! I can't wait for the Easter Challenge!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
