100 lbs and 10.5 inches- photos



Recommended Posts

]!00 pounds down since starting the pre op liquid diet on Febuary 23rd of 2011, sleeved on March 1st 2011, 10,5 inches off my waist.... Still have at least 50 more to lose, but so far so good! There have been ups and downs during the past 4 months, a couple small food accidents, but I have been 100% on the work outs! I started CrossFit a couple weeks ago, all I can say is Holy Frigging CrossFit Batman! Crossfit is expensive, but oh so worth it! I leave there shaking each and every time I go, its insane!

Now for the bad part, I have finally hit that stall everyone talks about, and Its not making me very happy at all. My initial thought was to work out more, work out harder. I Cant really lower my calories, I'm only taking in between 600 and 1000 a day, so what else is there to do besides work out more, and harder. Well my CrossFit instructor told me tonight that I need to rest on my days off from cross fit, not go workout in the gym, He said sometimes more is less, and my body may be going through a shock of some kind. Long story short the Crossfit coach knows his stuff, he is always reading healthy eating books, and going to training seminars, I have no reason to not believe him, but it makes no sense to me. He did say If I Felt like I HAD to do something on off days to ride the Schwinn air-dyne exercise bike, but nothing else. Anyone who has been through this stall please chime in and let me know how you got past it?

You look great, way to go!! I found in my early stalls, that usually I needed to eat a little more, not less and that would usually break the stall.

Incredible difference, congratulations to you! Agree with Kathy, you may need to add a few calories, I'm still pre-op but from what I have read that seems to work for a lot of people.

      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.
