December 3rd Check In



Recommended Posts

Hey August All Stars! Let's keep the updates going! It is great to see how everyone is doing and kind of gives me a gauge as to whether I am on track or not.

This week was flat for me - no loss. It was funny though because everyone seemed to start noticing my weight loss this week - people I work with, parents of my children's friends, people at church. Everyone is asking me about it... maybe I lost some inches this week.

I finally had to break down and buy some new pants. All of mine, even the ones that were tight at the beginning are hanging off of me. I could still wear them with a belt or safety pin but decided to treat myself. Fashion Bug had a huge after Thanksgiving sale so I bought some nice yoga style pants that have an elastic waist but still will look decent enough with a nice shirt to wear to work.

I hope everyone had a great week! Here's to meeting our Christmas Challenges!! :)

Checking in!

I got out of the hospital Tuesday - yay! Hoping I stay out! Home with the feeding tube but hey, home none the less!!

Down 5.8 lbs since last weigh in a few weeks ago. Glad to still be losing with everything that has been going on. I'm more than half way to goal since surgery and nearly 80 lbs lost total since March. Ready to feel better.

Hello. I am down 2 pounds this week. I've been super busy- unexpected company. I haven't had a 2 pound loss in one week in forever....

maybe they should pop in more often..the stress appears to be helpful.

This week was flat for me too... no loss. I haven't been exercising like I should either. I'm going to step up my Protein and my exercise this week. Looking forward to posting a good number next Saturday. I'm glad everyone had a good week and that Libbe is home :)

Love y'all!

I keep forgetting to check in here! I lost two pounds this week after a stall for a week. I only have one more pound and I will have lost 50! I have 50 left to go, so I am half way to goal and it will be 4 months for me on the 8th. I see that most of us are around the same as far as weight lost so far goes. I am glad to see that. I stall every other week and when I do loose, its a pound or two. Happy to see this seems to be the norm. I want to see a big drop again soon but I wont hold my breath. As long as I am still loosing, I am happy with that. See you next week!

I agree Forensikchick - I'm glad to see that everyone is about the same. That gives me hope that we'll soon be like the others that had earlier surgery and are in the 80-90 lb weight loss category. I have similar stats to you - I have lost just under 50 lbs and I have 50 to go & my surgery was on August 15th. Hoping we all have a great month and meet our goals!

      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.
