Labor Day Challenge 2012



Recommended Posts

I would like to join too!

CW. 226.6

GW 210

I have been losing slowly recently

Goals

64 oz in daily & increase Protein intake

Start working out - so tired that I haven't started yet

CW 216.6 down 10# since start of challenge! Yay!!!

Going to the gym tomorrow And doing a bit better on my protein and liquid intake. Looks like it may have been out of my control why i have had so many problems with getting in food and liquid. Had my 3 mos check up yesterday and dr said sleeve is narrowing, so I go back in on the 10th for egd if I still am feeling the same restriction and acid.

I finally lost something this week! Apparently I have to push really hard physically. My last two stalls finally broke with serious physical exercise. The first time was with a 5 hour hike. This time it was with a mini Tri on sat. My right knee is not so happy, but yay scale movement!

SW: 164 CW: 161 GW: 149

What the F was I thinking when I set that goal weight?!?! Sheesh

Well, finally back down a little.

Starting Weight 7/4: 275

Today's Weight 7/23: 268.8

Goal Weight 9/2: 260

I seem to be in this cycle of losing for a few days in a row then gaining a little of it back over a few days and then maintaining and then losing. Kind of strange, but as long as I lose more than I gain, then I guess the scale is still going the right direction. I really hope that the goal of 260 is attainable. It should be, who knows, maybe I can even get to 250 which would be amazing. It would be 100 down from my highest weight and 77 from the beginning of my pre-op diet on the 14th of April.

Well not too successful a week! I gained back two of the three and a half pounds that I lost the first week :angry: Back on track for now... was eating out a lot and not exercising. Remember, as Roseanne says, "The only one who can defeat me is me!"

      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.
