2006 Christmas Wish List



Recommended Posts

Alright, maybe it is a bit early, but I figured there's no harm in setting an early wish!

I've seen a few folks talking about what they want to be "at" by christmas. Either sizes in clothes or a certain weight.

Well I figured - I will set my goal of what I WISH for Christmas and see if anyone else wants to join me in making that wish come true.

Sort of a commitment thread, sort of a challenge and sort of a "support" thingy.

--------------------------------------------------

Dawg's Christmas Wish:

I Wish I was 204 pounds by Christmas. This will make my total loss (since joining LBT) of 103 pounds, and place me in the "normal" BMI for my height.

it needs to be restarted though because my leaving threw a wrench in keeping the goal and weigh in page up to date.

My christmas goal is 230. I am currently 296.

I wondering if I should lower my goal for Christmas? Since having surgery, I am down to 281, my Christmas goal is 275. I think I will make that by middle/end of Sept. What would be a reasonable goal? 260? 250?

I have no clue how fast/slow this weight is gonna come off.

I think I am going in to the "just got banded" freak out stage.

Scared/hopeful/nervous-- you know, the old "oh dear sweet God, is this thing really gonna help me" phase

I'll jump in....

My Christmas wish (Hanukkah and Kwanzaa too!) is to be 400lbs. That would mean I need to lose 103lbs since 12/06 , or 67 lbs from today.

I think its a lofty goal, but I don't mind a challenge.

I wish to be at my final goal weight (between 189-199) and in size 34 pants. I'm at 217 now, so I bettre step up the exercise... it gets harder to lose at this point, I can tel ya!

I want to be in 34 waist pants, because then when folks ask me how much I lost from my waistline, I can say happily... 2 feet.:)

      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.
