Where will we be?



Recommended Posts

I know by this time next year I will be feeling A LOT better about myself and have more energy. I am looking to lose 80-100 pounds! I am looking forward to wearing Summer clothes next Summer! I cannot wait to feel comfortable or more comfortable to take my daughter swimming. It makes me sad that because of my weight I don't want to take her swimming.

I told my mom that when I get this weight off I am not going to obsess about the stretch marks that will still be there, etc. I want to be happy and healthy. I do not expect perfection and will be proud of every step I take. We tend to look how far we have to go INSTEAD of how far we have come. I am super proud of myself giving up coffee and diet dr pepper. I was a HUGE addict for both!

Hi guys. I am Julie. Was banded on 6/7. In a year from now, I hope to be at my goal weight or pretty close. I need to lose about 65 to 75lbs. So in a year, I'd love to be about 135. And in a gorgeous bikini with no leg chaffing bruises and no asthma and no heartburn as I lay out in the sun. LOL

I was banded on June 2nd. I hope to be at my goal in one year with 100 pounds lost. I have never been so excited about something as I am about this. I already feel better and I am only down 16 lbs. Good Luck to all.

I was banded yesterday - 6/28. A year from now I will have lost 85 pounds!! When I hit my goal weight, I will need to buy all new clothes. I have about 50 pairs of pants, in all sizes from 10 to 20! At 145lbs, I'll be an 8! An 8! I haven't been an 8 since I was 17 years old.

I'm also looking forward to where I'll be in 6 months time - I'll be looking forward to my company holiday party for the first time EVER!

Go June Bugs! Good luck to everyone!:ohmy:

I don't have an actual weight loss goal. Maybe that's strange considering I've just had weight loss surgery. I'm just taking this thing one day at a time. If I start focusing on the numbers, I'll drive myself crazy. My real goal is to get to a place where I'm comfortable with my body and to keep it there.

I want to be 100 lbs down at one year, preferably a goal. Goal is 140, 100 lbs down would be 162 (from pre-op diet). I'm down 30, so I have 92 to goal, and 70 to get to 162. We are going to Disney World for the first time ever in December, I'd like to be at 200 then. So, that would be 32 lbs over the next 14 weeks. Which would then be 2.3 lbs a week, which is in the range of do-ability.

I will get smaller!!

      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.
