July 4Th Challenge



Recommended Posts

I'm not sure who normally starts these challenges so if I am stepping on toes, sorry! I was just anxious to get it started.

Now that the Memorial Day Challenge is officially over, who wants to join me in the July 4th Challenge? We have a little over 5 weeks in this challenge so I will make two goals:

1. Get to Onederland

2. Lose 11 lbs

My starting weight for this challenge is 201 lbs. Good Luck to everyone!

I've never participated in a challenge because I was worried about putting too much pressure on myself while newly sleeved. But I'm down this time - count me in!

Surgery Weight - 403

Current Weight - 332

July 4th Goal - 318 (14 lbs - YIKES!)

Losing 14 will put me at 85 lost before my 6 month surgiversary.

Good luck to all!! WE GOT THIS!!!

Okay, Im in! With ony 5 weeks to do this, I am going to be realistic. I am losing 4-5 pounds a month now so I will make my goal 5 pounds. I am now 146.9 (147) so I will go for 141.9 (142).

@jhansen71~ Anybody can start a challenge! I started the last three for the same reason! I am glad you took the initiative to start this one! We are all family here and excited to get going on another challenge! PS. ask strongerdiva to pin it for us and she will. That way it wont get lost in the treads!

I'm right on track. 2pound loss puts me at 176. 8 more to go!

I'll take the challenge. I weigh 183 today, down from 370. I would like to get to 170 by July 4. That would be an even 200lbs lost. That is a little over 2lbs a week. We will see, things are slowing a bit lately.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
