60 Down 200+ To Go



Recommended Posts

Looking for a buddy who-like me-has a LOOOOONG way to go.

I think that having to lose 250# is a WAY different journey than even losing 100#.

I have lost 60# in two months-but you can't even tell.

I am a 57 year old female. I live in Utah. I am 6' tall. I have been at my this-my highest weight for at least 20 years. Which means that for 20 years I haven't been able to go into a store to shop.

Before I can go anywhere I have to take into account the seating arrangements, I seldom go into other peoples home or ride in their car.

I graduated from college 2 years ago with a degree in Social Work, but would never think of even applying for a job until I lose a LOT more weight.

I would love to have a buddy or two-male or female-who might have something in common.

Debi:

I don't have as far to go as you do, but my own pile of mistakes looks like a mountain to me. I'd love to be buddies though.

This is going to be a transforming year for both of us.

Take care and hang in there ...

I started at 444 pounds and have lost 141 pounds since my surgery in May 2011. I still have about another 140 to 150 to lose. I'm all for having a buddy!

Congrats on your 60 pounds by the way! If you haven't already start taking pictures of yourself monthly from all angles, you'll start to see a difference...trust me!!!!! I take mine standing in front of a door so that I have a point of reference.

Debi, I've got 200 (maybe more) to lose once I have my surgery (two weeks!). I don't really know how much I should/need to lose, because I've NEVER been a normal size in my life. I'd be happy to keep in touch with you. :) And best of luck in your journey! 60 pounds in two months is amazing.... I hope to do as well!

      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.
