A Major Scale Victory



Recommended Posts

I am, for the first time in 10 years, under 200 pounds!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ten months past my surgery, exercising regularly, and having to restart a few times, I have hit a major milestone. That number alone is a motivation for me to keep going. I tried on an XL top the other day and it was a little loose, so I tried on a Large. It was a bit snug at the hips, but it fit better than the XL! That's also motivation!

congrats on your scale victory!!!! i was banded 4 months ago and i cant get past 20 pounds!!!arrgghhh so frustrating. my clothing size has gone from a 20 to a 16, but the scale wont move. ieveryone keeps telling me the scale will catch up! WHEN!!! ugh! i knew this would be a slow process and plus i have thyroid issue, but i feel like i'm at a stand still at this point. yep, exercising 4 times a week at least and 2 times with a trainer. i think maybe i'll go in for a small fill, but with my new job it's impossible to get off work in time to make it to the doctor's office. ugh! FRUSTRATED!:(

Jennifer, it will happen! Your doctor/nutritionist might also be able to tell you if you're eating enough to support your 4x week workout metabolism. Over the summer, I hardly lost any weight but my body seemed to have rearranged itself. My measurements changed quite a bit, then the scale started moving again. I can't figure it out, either!

      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.
