1 pound from my goal weight :)



Recommended Posts

I never thought I would be able to say I weigh 160 lbs!! It took me 2 yrs and 1 week but I made it. I started at 272 lbs on May 27th 2011. It has been a rough road at times but I did it! I have found a person inside me that I didnt even know existed. In the last year I have moved 900 miles and started a new life in my hometown after being away for 16 years. I would have never had the courage or self confidence to have done that before lapband. I am so excited to see whats next!

First...Congratulations on your success.....

Are you 1 pound away from YOUR Goal?

I had personal goals also...they all came and went....

I found that since this is new lifestyle and not a diet where you can start and stop, the body will continue to loose untill it reaches that place that is normal and healthy for you....then it will simply stop....providing you keep your Protein at normal levels....

      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.
