Finally a bit of Success!



Recommended Posts

I've been very frustrated that I could lose 60 pounds and still be wearing all my same clothes. Well I have noticed that my pants are getting a bit baggy, so I got out my few smaller clothes and sure enough I have dropped two sizes comfortably ( 24 to 20), though since I have so many clothes I won't give them all up yet until I can replace them with a few more smaller ones. And the good news is that after no movement for the past month, I finally lost 2 pounds today. Yay. 9 lbs to go to be halfway to my goal.

scale Victory - For the first time in 26 years, I weigh less than my husband.

NSV - I can wear my diamond wedding band set again which I haven't been able to put on for a few years without it cutting into my finger and bleeding. Now they slip on and twirl around with great ease.

It's amazing how much 2 pounds can lift your lift your spirits when it's going down or crush them when it's going up. I expected the 2 week stall after surgery. I heard a lot about it. I just didn't expect it to last a month. Hopefully I will continue to lose and not have to wait another full month. For now, I"m deliriously happy.

Congratulations!! Don't hold on to your old larger sizes too long. There a lot of "non-sleevers" out there that need them!! lol. I too just got over my two week stall after losing about 50 lbs. At one point I started to think I was gonna melt away, when I was losing so quickly but then I stalled and that presented a whole other set of emotions. :( Just wait til you get to ONEderland, it's a ONEderfull place to be!! :D

      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.
