Easter Challenge Anyone?



Recommended Posts

Exactly - any weight loss is better than none at all! I am aiming for 30 but if I get into Onederland by any amount I will be more than please. Shoot - I'm excited to get below 220! I haven't been below 220 since high school. :biggrin:

I'm starting today at 193 so I'm shooting for 163 by Easter!

Sounds good!

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to take part in the Easter challenge. I have only been banded since 1/13, but I enjoy challenges. I have no idea how much weight I might lose by Easter. I'll aim for twenty pounds and would be very excited by that.

I'd love to join if it's not too late. I was banded on January 15th, 2010 so I'm new to this. I would love to lose 30 pounds by Easter. I'm going on a weekend getaway with my immediate family, grandparents and cousins Easter weekend so this will really help keep me on track! I scheduled my first fill today at my one week follow-up appointment and it's on February 16th. I'm super excited!!! :)

Okay I've gotten through Day 1 of this 2 day weekend haha! Doing good...ate good today and worked out..

Do any of you eat the "skinny cow" ice cream products? Those things are awesome! Ice cream is my weakness...another good low cal icre cream fix is pudding shakes...you use your favorite instant pudding mix (mine is cheesecake) use 2 tablespoons of the dry mix in your blender with a cup of milk (preferably skim) with ice and make a smoothie..the only cals you got is what is in the milk...it is delicious. You can also add some fresh fruit to it!

      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.
