4th of July - WHAT WILL YOU WEIGH???



Recommended Posts

I can't believe it!!! I FRICKIN' MADE MY GOAL!!!! My surgery was 1/29/11 and I have lost 75 lbs since I took the fateful step and weighed myself on 1/15/11. I desparately wanted to believe that I could do it but after failing at losing weight my whole life, I wasn't sure. At this point, I'm still not sure but now feel like I can do it. I believe this surgery has saved my life and am so grateful from the support I have had along the way. Bring on that Labor Day Challenge and I am going for ONEDERLAND!!!:D

I hit 250 yesterday! I'm so happy. If I can hit 249 before the 4th that would be cool. I told myself if I hit 250 for the July 4th challenge, I was going BIG for the Labor Day Challenge! I started this Challenge at 270, so I lost 20lbs, I think I may go for 30lbs the next challenge! Congrats everyone! :)

Hit 200 today on the nose! Goal was to be UNDER 200 , so hopefully I'll check in tomorrow with stinking .1 loss! Either way, this is a HUGE milestone for me b/c this marks 100 lb total loss since I started this journey! It is the craziest feeling in the world to think I'm going to be out of the 300's and 200's forever! !

I'll check in tomorrow or Monday when I am officially in onederland! :)

Sw 235, Cw 179, goal 176, lbs to goal 3!

Almost certainly not making this goal, but damn close! :)

So happy, I am now officially just 1 stone overweight, so I've become one of those people I have envied for so long, the ones who sigh and say "well I could do with losing a few pounds!" wooooo!

Yep, I made my goal of being down by 50 pounds!! I know the weight loss is slowing down now, but I'm excited--even if I never lose another pound, I'm healthier, happier, and wearing REGULAR SIZE CLOTHES that I bought at OLD NAVY--and not the XXL's, either, but XL shirt and size 20 pants--this is down from a 3X shirt and tight size 26's to start. I'm not done, either... slow is fine!!

I'm anxious to start the next challenge, which I am already planning to participate in from the beginning for more accountability. GO Y'ALL--good luck to everyone and congratulations to those who made or surpassed their challenge goals!! :D

I'm going camping tomorrow so I'll give my results today. I had wanted to lose 8 lbs and I lost 5. I'm satisfied with that for now. I know I'm gaining muscle mass -- my upper body is in the best shape that I can remember. A lot of that is just due to good old fashioned yard work! The sleeve helped me to get to the healthiest place I've been to in 30 years. I'm very happy with my results.

      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.
