The last 30 pounds



Recommended Posts

I'll be the first to say it's the hardest pounds to lose. With the right frame of mind and the help of your band...I know you can do it.

Congratulations are in order for being so close to your goal....YOU GO GIRL!

I also need to lose 30 more pounds. Maybe we can try and do it together. I have gotton off track and need a boost to. I know that if I would measure my 3 meals a day and stick to that like I did in the beggining I would have no problem losing again. I have not lost any weight in 1 month. But I have not gained either. YEA!!! I am going to start weighing my food today and stick to my 3 meals with no Snacks in between. Man thats hard. Good luck to you.

I need more than encouragement, I need a BOOT up the behind. Its very hard isnt it?

I just mentioned in another thread, I honestly have not had to diet at all to lose the weight I have. The band limiting the amount I can eat has been enough, that and healthy choices most of the time. But I'm going to Weight Watchers with my mum on Thursday, its time for some added discipline!

It's absolutely the hardest part, but you CAN do it. Keep your eye on the goal and if you slip up, don't beat yourself up about it. It happens to us all, just jump back on the wagon :)

I am with yall! I have floated between 165-170 for about 2 months now. I knnnnnnnnow I need a fill. I suppose that deep down inside I am so happy to be in a size 12/14 and feeling so great, and happy to be maintaining and NOT gaining that I have slacked off! I think it is time for us to step up the excersize, crack down on the food and portions, and fill to better restriction if necessary. I willl make goal!!! So will you!!!

It is hard! I am so thankful for like a pound or two a month!!! But you can still lose sizes and reshape your body more easily than losing weight (in my experience) at this weight. Exercise is the key.

I think if you have a goal of no more than 3-4 pounds a month at this point, you won't be disappointed.

Also, turn the exercise up and start going by how your clothes fit, not necessarily by your weight.

Good luck. I feel your pain.

I'm working on my last 22.....just had a fill on the 7th, hope this helps. I find that I have days where I can't stop munching. I do really good at meal time but whether I'm hungry or not I sometimes find myself "grazing".

      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.
