Memorial Day Challenge



Recommended Posts

I am so hooked on these things.... they actually keep me focused and off the scale all the time. I hope I did the form right. Just enter your nickname, current and goal weight and then first weigh in is next Monday, March 14. You just enter your change - for example, -2.

No you are not. As reverie said, the spreadsheet is locked apparently so that no changes can be made--she needs to allow permission to edit to everyone.

Just to let you know. I added my name to the Challenge, but changed my percentage to the percent of the goal that I have reached. This just makes it easier for me to stay motivated when I can say I have reached 20% of my current goal (aiming for 100% obviously), etc. If this is a problem or makes it confusing for anyone else, feel free to change it back.

I am in. This will start my second year. I was banded 3/11/10. I was hoping to be down more, but I know that with out my band I would still be 82 LBS heavier. I love my band. I think I might, just might be at a sweet spot for the first time, thats with my last fill on last Friday. Took long enough LOL. Well good luck friends. Lets do this.....

      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.
