Onward To 100 Lbs Lost...



Recommended Posts

Getting psyched up and ready give away more clothes, and recognize myself in the mirror a little bit less, lol.

I crossed the border to Onderland on April 24th, and I have denounced my citizenship in Fattsville. Now what???

If you go from January of 2011 to now, I have lost 83 lbs. I was sleeved 1/4/12 and most of the weight was after the surgery, but I cound January 2011 since it was the highest I had been in awhile, and I started my last "diet" at that time - even if I did not know I had started the big final ball rolling at the time.

Soooo now what? I think my next goal will be to see if I can get to the 100 lbs lost mark. That would be 17 lbs from now, but it seems a reasonable goal.

I have issues with my metabolism (I stall just thinking about a diet) so my weight loss has been a bit slow, but I have an enormous sense of calm after the surgery, because I know I can wait the stalls out now. I will win, not my appetite.

I don't know when I will hit it, but 17 lbs in 3-4 months will be great. If I could clear it by the time my Hubby returns from Israel (he will be traveling for work for awhile very soon) that would be interesting to see what he thinks 17 lbs more does to my appearance.

Wish me luck!

Congratulations! Other than that you're about 100 pounds less than me, we're kind of in the same place. I have lost 89 pounds and am getting really excited about the big 100 mark! I, too, have a very slow metabolism. I was sleeved in January and have lost (only) 44 pounds since the surgery. We should support each other and cheer each other on as we work toward our goal!

      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.
