I want to revise my goal for Jan.

Previously I said I wanted to be 185 by then (was 208 then) but I am now 192.So I think I will drop it with 10 pounds and try for 175 by 1 January 2013.Will revise again if needed.

How was ur surgery ?? Hopefully things went well. I just had mine on 10-22-12 in Kennedy hospital, Stratford, NJ. Look up my posts on utube, search for 39 hours before my gastric sleeve surgery. Good luck.

Ok' date=' I'm in. I'm also in the Halloween contest. I would like to be 135 (goal) or a size 6 by December 31st, whichever comes 1st. I'm 166.6 so 31.6 lbs to go in 3 1/2 months. I think I can do it. I'm also training for a half marathon so my fitness goal is also to run 10 miles without stopping and at least a 12 minute mile. I'm only up to 4 1/2 miles at 13 minutes. I have a ways to go. If i keep running tge weight should hopefully come off.

Good luck everyone!!!

I haven't jumped on here in a while because I've been so focused on the Halloween challenge. I've already made some great progress to my original quote above. I am now 154.2 lbs so just 14.2 to go by the new year. I'm running 10 minute miles already, but have not made 10 miles without stopping (but I have done 5). I'll most likely weigh in on Friday mornings starting next Friday.

Good luck to everyone in the losing and/or maintaining phase!! Lets keep the turkey and treats to a minimum.

I think I should also point out that I revised my original goal from 135 to 140. I think 135 will be way too small for my frame. I had some fuzzy math going and wanted to correct my post before someone called me on it. Ha!!!

I was the same way but look at your self look where you came from & look where you are now keep it moving & stop being hard on you. It's a process & it's all about you. As long as you keep going down, that's all that matters . :-)

      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.
