I made my first goal today!!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Today my scale showed me 255.6lbs that means I have acheived my first goal to reach 256lbs. My doc put me on abilify 2yrs ago which works great for my depression but I gained 31 pounds on it. It took me this long to lose those 31 lbs per my home scale. I am very happy but just don't know how to Celebrate. Any ideas?

Whoo hooo. Congratulations!!! You should be extremely proud of yourself. I was on Zoloft and gained a ton of weight also before my lapband surgery. I'm no longer on the Zoloft.

How I celebrate is go out and do something for myself. Maybe get your hair done, your nails, a facial, pedicure, massage. Buy yourself a new outfit.

Way to go!! Spa treatment is definitely at the top of the list. If your clothes are getting baggy, then a small shopping excursion may be in order. :tongue2:

      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.
