How will u maintain....?

i want to loose those last 10 lbs so i can join the century club

to maintain - my NUT and i have to discuss how many calories to take in - i think the magic # will be 1,100 and 1 full cup volume of food - WooHoo :)

i bought a bunch of clothes at Kohl's - 2 new blue jeans, 1 pair of kaaki (msp?) pants -3 blouses, gym outfit, zip up sweater and..............a partridge in a pear tree ;)

btw - i really do look amazing :)

i don't want to go over that number - but i'm sure if i did a couple of times or say, i won't die, nor will i gain 5 lbs

in the past, i could never maintain my weight - up and down on that see saw. no more playing games, i will continue to watch everything i eat, exercise, etc. - continue drinking all my Water

if i do everything right, eating etc. - i'm working my sleeve - the sleeve should be nice and work with me too

i will keep this weight off - i'm determined, theres no reason i shouldn't be successful -

very happy

i want to btle this wonderful feeling up - and just hold on tight to it

i feel like one hot grammy :)

you are doing so great - you've already joined that elite Century Club - keep up the great work

when i was a little baby - i always said to myself "when i grow up i want to be in the Century Club"

i'm not a baby anymore - but baby look at me now :)

WooHoo

Way to go.

I've been reluctantly buying clothes on the clearance rack because I don't want to spend a bunch of money on stuff that's not going to fit me in 6 months.

Also, my wedding ring will not stay on at all, but same thing, I don't want to resize it...only to have to resize it again. You wouldn't think you're fingers would shrink that much.

There is a cheap solution to the ring pblm. Ask your jeweler for a ring guard. It slips onto the bottom of the ring and can be made smaller as needed. Then, when you're done, u can spend the bucks to have the ring resized.

      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.
