Probably Not Gonna Happen!



Recommended Posts

My bandiversary is in 11 days and I have 12 lbs to go till goal. At this point its probably physically impossible to lose a pound a day and make goal by then. :(

Oh well, still feel great. I can fit into most tens, but would like to have them a little more comfortable fit. What I really need to do is get back in the gym. Ive been so busy, but I need to make some time for it.

I will check in on the 14th and let you know if I made it :)

The last few lbs are the hardest.

You are dealing with things other than fat, such as the amount of muscle mass you may have, and perhaps excess skin.

If you go by BMI's alone, I'm still 20lbs overweight, yet when I get on a Body Fat% scale, I'm less than 15% which puts me above normal in the "Fit" range.

So everything is relative at that point.

Im not beating myself up to bad. Im not being that diligent and so I am pleasently surprised with any loss that I have. ;) You know how you have it in your head when your are near your year mark that you would be a goal. Like that day is the magical day to be done.

B52, you are a lean mean fighting machine!! I wish I had your diligence in the gym...

      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.
