With this morning's weigh-in...



Recommended Posts

I'd quit talking about my weightloss stats, removed them from my siggy, etc. because I know that reading loss stories can be hurtful if you're someone who isn't losing, and hey - it doesn't hurt me any to not have it advertised. But now I'm thrilled & not holding this one in so if that's you, don't read this post.

I'm 2.5 months post-op.

:dance: As of this morning's weigh-in I have "officially" (as officially as my home scale gets, anyway) lost 33% of my excess weight!

:dance: I have gone from needing to lose exactly 200lbs to needing to lose 134lbs!

:dance: My BMI has gone from 56.4 to 47!

:dance: I'm within 15 - 20lbs of reaching the weight I was at 2 years ago on Atkins, which was the lowest I'd been in about 8 years!

:dance: Having the "left to lose" number start with a 1 makes this seem so much more attainable!

:dance: Soon my "left to lose" number will be double digit!

:dance: I have gone from tight sz 34 jeans to a comfy sz 26 jeans! That's 4 sizes!

Ok, composure regained...

Hey mini_me, I'll trade you having 200# to lose, for "only" losing 10 lbs in 2.5 mos any day! :D

I did forget to take before pics this time, but I do have some older ones, from a few years ago... my "before" when I started Atkins. I was actually a little lighter this time around, but not by a whole lot so they could still be fairly accurate. Maybe I'll see if DH can snap a pic tonight. I don't think to post before/afters, even though I keep them in my blog.

And thanks guys. Seeing the change in BMI is what really gets to me. I keep thinking how much HEALTHIER of a number that 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.
