Challenge: New Year's Day 2013



Recommended Posts

@Fiddleman what are you doing to have so much success?!? You've dropped over 100lbs in 5 months. I'm hoping to have a similar effect now that I've just been sleeved. Wow!!!!

It was a combination of a lot of different things : drinking as much Water as comfortable, eating every 3 hours 2-3 oz Protein, eating when waking up, eating when going to bed, exercising every day ( walking at first until cleared by dr, elliptical on and off for a few months and now running and lifting in last couple weeks), not cheating ( ever), eating as low carb as possible, not stressing ( getting into the zen of sleeve), sleeping 7-8 hours a night ( was not always able to do this), reading VST every day looking for hints and advice, etc. you can do it. I had my fair share of stalls along the way, average time about a week. The first one was long, about 3 weeks. Don't give up everyone! The prize is there for everyone.

NY goal was 315...my Christmas goal was originally 319 but I revised to 323 because I didn't think I would make 319, but now I might because I've finally broke my stall :) So lets still strive for 315 for New Years!

I do not think my goal of 240 will be met by New Years. Am having a lot of stalls and am getting frustrated, but I know I will start losing again. Am going to shoot for 250 as my new goal.

Keep up the good work everyone!!!

@scs it's not difficult u can do it... What I do is I eat meat first as it has the most Protein so by time I need to eat anything else on the plate in full....

      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.
