Oh Yea! Doing the HAPPY DANCE!



Recommended Posts

It is official! As of this morning, I've lost MORE than I STILL NEED to lose. :thumbup: Yes, I know that 72lbs is still a lot to lose and that the last half of your weight comes off slower than the first half. Still, I did lose 73lbs in just under 10 months (1 week shy of my 10 month BANDiversary). My original plan was to be at my goal weight (180lbs) by the end of 2011. I think that I'm going to challenge myself to reach my goal weight by my 2nd BANDiversary (6/8/2011). :thumbup:

PS~ I also met a mini goal today. I now weigh less than I did when I got married back in 1996. My next mini goal is to weigh 225lbs and reach my 100lbs loss mark.

Thanks everyone for the congrats! You are right SCOTTY D. I should do the HAPPY DANCE everyday. For everyday with my band is truly a great day. I sometimes get down on myself because I feel like I am not losing the weight quick enough or I am not seeing major changes in my body. In reality, I should only be losing 1-2 lbs/week as far as the scale goes (I am). As far as changes w/ my body, I am changing big time. Its just that I see myself everyday and dont really notice the differences.

      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.
