Holy SH.....T!!!! I HIT GOAL!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

For the first time ever in my life, I have succeeded in weight loss!!!! My hubby has never seen me this light ( though I have been smaller- I really hope the saggy skin on my lower body keeps shrinking as it has). But who cares if it doesn't!!! My only worry about this whole self image thing is..... When I catch a glimpse of my face in a mirror, I see my mom!!!! Weird.........,

Wow - congratulations! To paraphrase Martin Luther King - "You are on the mountain top, looking at the promised land!" How wonderful! Enjoy your achievement, and living life as a healthy, thin person.

Congrats to you! What was your secret? Are you working out? When was your surgery date (how long did it take to meet goal?)

I just updated my ticker and realized I am a half a pound from a normal BMI too! I will be 8 months out on Sept 6th and was hoping to reach goal by the end of October... I have 9.6 pounds to to go! It has really gotten harder these last 2 months - in August I only lost one pounds so it is really creeping slowly now. Hoping to still reach my goal before the snow flies here!

Again - congrats on your amazing transformation - this journey is a blessing to all of us!

      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.
