100 Pounds Down At 7 Months & 4 Days Post Op



Recommended Posts

honestly, its one of my main reasons i got it! i didnt want to struggle my entire life! i wanted to give myself a fair chance. i kept thinking about those who are older than methat battled their entire life & get it farther down the line. i knew i had a better chance getting it now.

73lbs is great! congrats on your success!

so glad it all worked out in your favor - Keep up the good work.

I am exactly one month behind you - January 11, 2012 - down 73 pounds - I am quite a bit older and the weight loss is slower.

I am thrilled with my progress - wish I could have done it at your age.

I am glad to see you well again. I remember the terrible time you had when you discovered your leak. You are a strong woman. Great job successfully losing your weight. Good luck with your continuing journey.

i went thru hell & back to get here after being diagnosed with a leak at week 5 but i overcame it.

my short term goal is to be 155lbs by my 24th birthday on aug 26th.

my long term goal is to be 135lbs.

wish me luck!

You still could. You never know, and there's no reason to stop trying or beat yourself up. The more we lose, the longer it takes for those last pounds to come off. I hit a rough patch about halfway to goal and those last twenty pounds took me six whole months to shed.

I understand being disappointed in not meeting a goal, but the END goal is still to lose the weight, and you're doing that. So don't get hung up on dates on the calendar and forget to be proud of your accomplishments so far.

      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.
