Is Anyone Still Here? Roll Call!



Recommended Posts

Does anyone still check this anymore? I admit, when I stopped losing, I stopped checking faithfully. Bad, bad, bad. That is why I posted everyday. That is what always happens to me. Not sure which comes first though... the not posting or the not trying?? Hmmmm.. something to ponder. I have maintained and even dropped a size! I now wear a size 12 jeans for work. I am proud I maintained but I am ready to start losing again. I did NOT have weight loss surgery to stop!!!

So....... who is still here??????????????????

Hi Lisa!

me 2.. more reading less writing these days. My surgery was July 28th 2009. So far I am down 62-66 lbs.. depending on how much the scale likes me for the day. 8 more pounds will put me at the big 300. That sounds huge to some, but I haven't seen 300 since 2000. If I can get to that goal, then the next 150 will seem hopeful. Best wishes to all my friends here.

I come on occasionally, haven't been back in a month. At first I was on all the time, but life keeps getting more hectic. I do need to come back more often to keep myself in check.

      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.
