What are/were your goals?



Recommended Posts

I'm two months(ish) post op. My biggest goal is to fit into my size 14 American Eagle jeans again. Smaller would be fabulous, but man, those jeans!!! I want them so bad :)

Any other fab goals out there?

I've had a lot of goals through this journey. My first goal was to weigh under 400 pounds, then too lose 100 pounds, then to weigh under 300 pounds.

My current goal is to lose 200 pounds, which I'm only a couple pounds from reaching. After this one, my next will be to weigh under 200 pounds by my 40th birthday in June.

While I want to wear a size 12 again, my goals are to get rid of my Bi-Pap machine (Hate the mask), having more energy, and being able to take my dogs for long walks. I already have more energy than I had prior to my surgery on 2/19. I'm looking forward to the rest. :)

My current goal is not to gain any weight back and to maybe even drop 5 more lbs. during my losing part of this journey I took it 10 lbs at a time... Anything loftier then that would have been overwhelming because I had so much to lose.

It was to first be under 300, then 200, then in wonderland, then get rid of CPAP machine, then my original goal of 180. I have now met them all in 14 months. Now my goals are to get my hip replaced, maintain or lose 5 more pounds, and to get back on the tennis courts after surgery.

My goal was 170 but as I lose I now think around 140-150. When I got married 42 years ago I weighed 144. That would be amazing. My sons have never seen me under 180 and they were kids then.

      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.
