Finally broke the 240 mark



Recommended Posts

I have been waiting and weighing for weeks and this morning I was 239.8. I started at 289. I have been hovering at 241 for 2 weeks. Yipee.

I promised myself a Pandora Bracelet at the 50 lb. mark. It will take a bit to be permanently in the 230s, but I am very happy!

That's great! I am always very excited when clothes that didn't fit do. Keep up the good work!

We should be twins lol. I started at 288 and day before yesterday the scale said 239.9. Definitely did a happy dance for that. Have not been on the scale since then so I don't know exactly where I am today. Right now my goal is to weigh less than my BF who weighs 214 so I am working hard at that. :cursing:

Congrats to you! Enjoy your new bracelet! I think Im going to do something like this too for each of my goals that I want to reach. A new Bracelet for 50 then a new charm for each mini goal that I set!

Yeah!!! Tracy, I am so proud of you!! That is awesome!!! I love the way you will give yourself a gift. I may try that in mini goals. My sister-in-law wants to do a hawaii cruise when I reach my goal. The mini treats for fifty, seventy-five ect are exactly what I need. Hummm, now to see what I really want besides weight loss. :cursing:

      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.
