I HAVE LOST 55 POUNDS



Recommended Posts

YES I am still overweight but the weight is coming off! I am so happy because I am smaller right now than I was 4 years ago. I am happy because I no longer have to take my insulin resistance medication. I am happy because even though I am not shopping in the petite section, I can actually find my size in some stores.

In March I was a size 28 womens or 4x, now in July I am a size 22-24 or 2x. My Husband says that I am "HOT", and I think more of my appearance now because i wanna keep getting those compliments!

Surgery Day: April 11 (Lapband with Gastric Plication)

Starting Weight 355

Target Weight 145

Current Weight 300

Band Fill 3.5cc

Since getting surgery, I have become more active because I go to the gym 3 times a week and I see a fitness coach and a dietician. Everyone is amazed at the weight loss. I feel so much better and I have a pep in my step! I am hoping that I could lose about 20 more pounds before christmas.Even though I am still 150 pounds away from my goal, I am one step closer! Wish me luck! Anyway, I just wanted to tell someone that I lost 55 pounds.

You can do that easy by Christmas. I had my surgery April 4th and am now down 80 pounds (I know I need to fix my ticker) I am hoping to hit 100 by my birthday in October! It is a lot of work, I work out 5 days a week and ride my bike almost everyday. I started out a size 26 and am now down to a 18 and some 16's! It is hard not to look at the plus size clothes, you will be their soon too! congrats and keep up the good work.

I have a feeling you're going to lose way more than 20 pounds by Christmas. I started out right about the same place you did and lost 85 pounds the first 8 months. You're already 10 pounds ahead of where I was at the same point. You're doing great. Keep up the good work!

Hi Cindy and Brenda,

Thanks for the encouraging words, and Brenda I hope to be 100 pounds down before the end of the year too. I guess that I didn't want to set myself up for failure. I hope that you make it, at your rate of weight loss I am sure that you will. I just want to shop anywhere with out having to search for the plus size section every time. My goal is to be a size 10, and I will get there.

Thanks :)

In about 50 more pounds down, I may see myself as a Hottie :lol: I will keep everyone posted. The next 50 lbs will be even better. And yes, m hubby is my rock and I love that even when I was my heaviest he has Never once called me FAT. For that is the reason for my success because I have someone that is always checking on my progress every step of the way.

Thank You,

FeFe

      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.
