1St Personal Goal Achieved!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

Wanted to share my exciting news!

I reached my 1st personal goal today! I always weigh in on Friday mornings however today I was going for a fill number 7 and wanted to take note on how close my scale was to the doctors.

When I decided to have lapband, banned on Nov 21, 2012 weighing 260 I set my goal to weigh 200 pounds however that quickly changed and didnt want to be in the 200s. I wanted to be 199. I have been working my tail off to reach that point and this morning I stepped on the scale looked down and it read 198.0! I said WHAT! Stepped off and right back on again! And sure enough there it was 198.0...I stood there on the scale and cried tears of happiness. I havent weighed anywhere close to 198 since my early early teens.

62 lbs GONE!

If YOU believe in YOU anything is possible!

:P

      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.
