Under goal, what next?



Recommended Posts

Ok I am three pounds under my goal weight YAY and 3 lbs away from 100lbs toatal!!!!! Triple YAY, but now I am like what do I do? Do I set a new goal? HOnestly the most exercise I have done is the crap I do on kinect, so I am thinking of trying my hand at working out to tone and firm, bc I wear a pant size higher than I am supposed to due to my belly skin......yuck! I have considered plastics, but they make me feel vain since I haven't lifted a finger to naturally try and get rid of the flab. People are begining to say "don't lose anymore weight" but I am like if I lose another 7 lbs I am cool with it. My weight loss has slowed down tremendously as I have been eating in a maintenance mode, but I still lose at least 1 lb a week. I am nine months out and reached goal at 6 1/2 months. Ahhhhhh what to do? :huh:

First of all, congrats!!!

My surgery is in 2 days, so I can't speak from experience--yet--but I think that I would focus on making exercise a lifelong habit (finding out which physical activities I enjoy the most and discovering new ones) because I think that regular exercise is a key component to maintaining the weight loss. I also know that when I exercise regularly I tend to eat healthier because for whatever reasons my body craves healthier foods. Plus, there's the added benefit that your body will look even nicer when it's toned. Besides the fitness stuff, I would want to find the right balance in my diet to maintain my weight loss and beyond that, just enjoy life!

      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.
