I weighed the groceries!



Recommended Posts

I brought the groceries into the house today. Before I unpacked them, DH said "Wait! Wait!" He ran upstairs to get the bathroom scales. He weighed two of the sacks and handed them to me! :) He said "You want to lose 100 lbs. Those sacks weigh only 25 lbs. Try to imagine carrying around 4 of them all the time."

Guess he will be supportive.

lol, I never thought of it that way, but geez, thats right we are carrying around extra sacks aren't we. That was really cute. I'm going to think of this every time I lose 25lbs. :biggrin1:

My baby now weighs 25 lbs. He is very heavy to me after a while. I can't believe that I have lost over 2 of him. That really puts the whole actual feel of the weight into perspective for me.

Oh Yeah, the dog food aisle is my FRIEND!!!! I regularly stop there to lift a 50 pound bag. I have lost about 60 since my high weight. WOW! I love it! Then I lift a 38 pound bag and know this is how much I still need to lose. It keeps my eye on the prize. LOL

Yesterday I was holding my great-nephew (25lbs) and my baby wanted me to hold her as well (another 25lbs).. They were SOOOOO heavy.. and I've lost 10lbs more than that (60lbs so far) and I just can't imagine how I got through the day.. I could only hold the two of them for a few seconds before I had to give one of them to my sister.

My doctor always related our loss to dog food. He said to me that I'd been carrying around 2 extra, 50lb bags of dog food. When he put it that way, I didn't realize what a lug I'd been carrying around slung all over my body. Makes you feel good when it's gone.

      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.
