OMG!!!!! No longer considered OBESE!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Well let me start by saying that today I did something that a year ago I would never have attempted. (I started taking zumba classes a month ago.) I did my first zumbathon today for Susan Koman. For two hours in the Florida sun I danced my jiggly butt off. I would like to add that I am slap wore out. Now I have been going to class twice a week and it has paid off. (Drum roll please) YAY!!!!! I am no longer obese!!!!! Just OVERWEIGHT!!!!!! I never thought I would see that!!!! I will keep doing what I'm doing to get to goal!!!! Anyone thinking about trying zumba, Go for it!!! I am one that has two left feet, but I move and keep up with everyone else. I may end up going right when everyone else is going left. It's all good here. You will be amazed at how you transform your body. I measured my waist this morning, It is a 29!!!!!! Six weeks ago it was a 33. I am so stoked!!!! So wonderful to see the numbers go down!!!

Hope everyone has a stellar weekend!!!!! :)

      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.
