I am still stuck at 237 people!!!! I wanna be below 200 today!

hi bigkim

sorry you are at a stall now, but......

i don't know how far out you are since surgery- but a jump from 237 to 200 will take awhile, make small goals, slow and steady DOES wins the race

my starting weight was 235, i'm down to 180 now - it took me 4 months. :mellow:

weight loss for everyone is different person to person - but yeah yeah, you men have an advantage over us ladies and you seem to lose weight quicker.

even though we put our weight on "overnight" it doesn't come off that way :lol:

weight will come off soon - we all have to be patient

good luck

kathy

:)

I hear you sister! I am also in a bit of a stall. Going to up my exercise this week and do a couple days of juicing. If you want a kick start, but have it be delicious and full of nutrients, I highly recommend juicing a day or two a week, or even for one Meal Replacement a couple times a week. There is an awesome movie that promotes juicing - Sick, Fat and Nearly Dead. It is a great motivator and a fun and interesting moving to watch. I'm juicing today for all but one meal (I generally do 4-5 small meals/snacks a day. Today I have two different juices - 1. green juice = kale, romaine lettuce, parsley, apples, pears, lemon and fresh ginger 2. red juice = carrots, oranges and blood oranges. They are both super delicious, but you do need a juicer to make them.

Sick, Fat, and Nearly Dead is an awesome movie! So are my green smoothies! I'm 6 Weeks post op and haven't had any yet... I think it's time to try!

I stalled Weeks 3, 4, and 5. It actually took an increase in calories to break it.

      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.
