Who Lost On Thanksgiving?



Recommended Posts

ME! I ate a Lyle bite of everything, finished up with 2oz of turkey w/ gravy and LOST 1lb! Best of all I felt great after eating while everyone else looked miserably stuffed. I can honestly say I don't miss that! I was a little bad and did partake in the family tradition of crown shots but I only had two, diluted with Water. All in all it was a very successful night!

Thanksgiving morning I was 161. Today I was 160. I absolutely LOVE not having that grossly stuff feeling anymore!!!! When everybody else is sitting around moaning and groaning about eating too much, I feel nothing but very comfortably satisfied!!!!

I lost 2 pounds. I weighed this morning and then tonight and I weigh the same. So fingers crossed I lost more today. Fells so good to lose during the holidays when everyone else is gaining. I am leaving for NYC in a month and hoping I will down my first 50 pounds. Down 43 so far.

How in the world can you tell if you lost or not? Your weight can shift daily.

I weigh every Sunday to see if I lost, but went early today as I was anxious about Thanksgiving and as long as it's the same tomorrow, I'm down 3 this week, woohoo! Passed the 60lb mark and 1lb from being out of the 200s!

I weigh myself twice daily. It's important for me to SEE how my daily eating habits affect my weight loss. Not for everyone, but it works for me. I'm not much of a food tracker. I have always had a hard time tracking anything.

I also weigh myself 2x every day and I tracked everything I put in my mouth up until I was 3/4 of the way to goal...then dr wanted me to becom less dependent on tracking....but I read that people who track their calories when losing are twice as likely to succeed that those who don't. I am not saying you won't be successful.... I just wanted to put it out there for those who are struggling.

Believe me, I wish I was a tracker, I am just not hard wired like that. For example I have prob only tracked 3-5 mens cycles in my life (I'm 30). I don't know y but it is the hardest thing for me to remember. It's been an issue all my life, my mother is a public health nurse who tracks everything and has always tried to get me to track to no avail. Now that I am SAT with two year old twins tracking is just way beyond my scattered mom brain and lifestyle. I hope to one day be a tracker, it would prob help in many areas of my life...

I use my fitness pal to track. I do better w it during the week. The weekends I seem to forget. I use it mostly just to see how many calories something is.

      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.
