Thanksgiving Day Challenge



Recommended Posts

Weight before surgery - 232

Date of surgery - 08/17/12 (227 day of surgery)

Beginnng Contest Weight (11/02/12) 192.8

Week 2 (11/08/12) -

Week 3 (11/15/12) -

Thxgiving (11/22/12) -

End of Month (11/30/12) -

Goal weight for competition 182

I am losing about 10lbs a month so hoping I can keep at least this pace...I would super love to hit the 170's even if it is 179.8...lol...I leave going home to visit family back in Arkansas on the 19th and it will be the first time anyone has seen me since surgery. I had hoped to be about 180lbs by then but I guess more importantly I am a size (size 12) that I had first thought was my goal. So in weight I am off my target but in size I am eon's ahead of where I had hoped to be...I will take it.

I love pics so if any are willing...when we post our final goal weigh post a pic of you with your family...

I've been at 207 for a while but today went up to 209 but I haven't followed plans exactly the way I should. So my goal is to work even harder to get on track and to make it to what was supposed to be my halloween goal of 198 by Thanksgiving.

SW 209

GW 198

I better do something quick. I have been at 198 for quite some time now. Just came home from a long walk. Feels like I should have sweated off at least 3 pounds!!!!

Pre-op 260

Challenge start 188

Thanksgiving goal 180

Here goes nothing. I've been all over the place and not following the plan. Mentally I need this challenge to get back on track. Protein first and maybe only for a while and fluids!!! Good luck everyone.

LOL Sham I'm in the same boat. I have lost half a pound in the last ten days, and it came just on the day I've weighed in....I weighed in again today and it found me again....This is my first stall (11 weeks or so) but still, it's annoying even if I know it's normal LOL

      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.
