90 pounds gone, 47 to go!



Recommended Posts

In just 7 months (almost to the day, my 7 month anniversary of my surgery will be 7/28). I have lost 90 pounds. I can't believe I'm just 10 pounds away from triple digits.

In honor of that, I've updated my signature ticker (which hadn't been updated since I was at 261), I also edited my profile pictures and added some more current pictures of me.

I'm attaching a picture to show what you can accomplish in 7 months.

Great. Thanks for the picture and hope that can happen. Would like to know if you have any flabby loose skin since losing so much weight. It is not noticeable from your picture. How were you able to accomplish that.

First I would like to say thanks to all the well wishes. It's been a long journey, and i still have a ways to go.

To answer your question, yeah I do have a lot of extra skin, on my back and stomach and thighs. It's really annoying because when I'm clothed and standing up it hangs and makes me look faster than I am (almost like a perpetual muffin top), and when I bend over it hangs from me.

I added some pictures from about 10 to 15 pounds ago. You can see the muffin top effect and the way it hangs. But it will hopefully go away within the next few years, I'm pretty young and my skin has been taken care of pretty well.

      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.
