Goals/NSV's

NSV FOR A COUPLE OF US

OUR FIRST 5K....YEAHHHHHHH

LSasha, Karen, my child and myself participated in a 5K PowerWalk for Diabetes Saturday.

It was a great sense of accomplisment to walk in an official 5K. Although we are currently walking at least 3 miles most days of the week, it was something special to do it for a cause.

I plan on looking for more 5K's in the area. Crystalstar wants to start training for bigger walks like a 10K uhhhhh ok.

Hi, everyone! Teresita was kind enough to invite me to this forum... my name is Dawn and I was banded 2 weeks ago, May 9th, in Mexico. I don't live in MD but I live in No. VA, right off the beltway and 95, so I'm close enough!

So far I have lost 25 lbs - really 10 pre surgery (I had strep throat the week before surgery and only drank tea) and 15 since. I joined a yoga class tonight and have really been wanting to do more walking.

I had my first NSV today, first off I was able to wear a size 18/20 Lane Bryant button p shirt today, something I haven't been able to do in 3 years... then when I went to work a co-worker of mine who I have not seen in a month stopped dead in her tracks when she saw me and said "OH MY GOD...how much weight have you lost? Your face looks so thin!"... I could have kissed her.

I will be going to Connie's house on Sunday, so I am really looking forward to meeting everyone and making new friends...band sisters...

Have a great rest of the week...Dawn

At present I have a short term goal of getting below 90kg. That will be HUGE for me. I've already lost way more than I ever dieted off in the past but I've weighed in the 90's a million times in the last few years. When I see 89 I'm going to jump for joy.

My longer term goal is still 75kg although I know I'll want to go lower when I get there, we'll just see how much effort that is going to take. If its not realistic I can let it go.

At present though I'm very focussed on improving my running performance - increasing both speed and distance.

Welcome Dawn!

I work in Springfield, so I am right around the corner. Do you work in the area too? Maybe we can walk at lunch or something.

My NSV is that I at 2 whole pork chops and thought I was going to burst last night.

OK no that is not a good one. I wore a pair of 3 inch heels for several hours this week. I have not been able to wear heels since I broke my ankle because there was just too much weight on them. Now that I have lost 71 pounds, my ankle don't hurt with them on.

      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.
