Sixty Down & Forty to go....



Recommended Posts

OMG!!!

It just hit me that as of today, I only have forty lbs to go to my goal weight that I have on my signature line here. I'm thinking that as much as I'm able to fit into smaller clothes at the weight I am right now, I think 115 should be just fine. I don't want to be a skeleton after all.

It's funny, because I was just modifying my signature line to show my current weight and that's when it hit me. KaBlam! Forty lbs to go!!

This means, that I have now lost more than 1/2 of what I wanted to lose.

I'm enjoying hearing the different words that people use to describe how much weight I've lost/how good I'm looking: Like "You're melting away", You're skinny", "You're wasting away" and I think my favorite is the one I heard today "You're disintegrating". Today another female I work with called me and told me she had seen me walking down the hallway and told me I was looking good.

Even though my weight fluctuates up and down 2-3 lbs for awhile, I eventually really go down to a lower weight and then the same thing happens again. (It's like I get this little plateaus all the time), I am happy.

I still think my thighs look like tree trunks, accept at least they're more muscular tree trunks than before.

So, I just had to share this. I hope everyone else is doing well and if you're struggling, stick with it. I know it's not been super easy for me, but it's paying off big time.

Great job!! I also was told today "You are looking thinner" and it is just so nice to hear (though hard to know how to take a compliment, know what I mean?)

Congrats to you! I cant wait to get to 1/2 way. That will feel pretty good! I just posted the same thing about the way that I am losing. I get a fill and drop big and then play around with 1-2 lbs for awhile and then I will lose 1 lb a week for a couple of weeks a then I am ready for a fill again. Weird :lol:

Wow! You have accomplished so much already! Keep up the good work!

Thanks everyone and good luck to you all also.

P.S. I did hear a new word to describe how much I'm losing. The other day, one of my co-workers said I was disintergrating. I was like, "Well, thanks; I appreciate that".

Im down 38 with 39 to go, so im pretty much 1/2 way there. It is funny how it just hits you some times of how much you really have lost.

I have little mini goals and I am only 3 lbs from of 196 by august 1st. But if I continue at the rate im going, im still gonna make my goal by thanksgiving.

Congrats on your weight loss!!!

      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.
