Attention November Sleevers: Christmas Weight-Loss Challenge



Recommended Posts

Ok my November Sleevers!! I know there are a few challenges out there already, but I thought it would be nice to have one rocking for those of us that had our sleeves done in November. This way we track with people on a closer timeline with our own. Feel free to use it or not. Totally up to you. Hugs to you my November Sleeve family. Happy holidays and happy losing!!

December Challenge: ends on 12/25/12.

~ Surgery Date (SD): 11/20/12

~ Starting Weight (SW): 320

~ Current Weight (CW): 297

~ Goal Weight (GW): 275, with an ultimate goal of 270 cuz it would be a nice belated birthday present for myself (birthday is 12/21).

* Bonus: Inches Lost. Haven't measured myself yet. Was waiting for my 1 week follow-up on 11/28 to do that.

Looks like I'm gonna hit my Xmas goal by my birthday tomorrow. I weighed in at 271.8 this morning. My ultimate goal is 270 cuz I surpassed my initial Xmas goal of 275 a few days ago. So I'm down about 44 now since 11/20.

I would like to join this thread. I need encouragement. Surgery 11/20 and I'm down 23 lbs was down 25lbs until Christmas Day. Don't feel well due to eating foods I never would have touched! So today it's about ten am and I'm afraid to put anything in my mouth. Not sure where to start so as not to gain anymore. I welcome any ideas. Also since im off work I have no where to exercise. I would run the stairs each day. Return to work on the 3 rd of January . I would love to hear what to do to jump start my diet today. Also is anyone from Houston Conroe area? Would like to have a partner to exchange ideas and work with on our way down.

      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.
