The scale moved The scale moved The scale moved..... in the right direction!



Recommended Posts

Ok, last Wednesday I was boo-hooing about gaining 3 lbs after daring to eat a little more on Super Bowl Sunday. I knew that was physiologically impossible but still.....just not good for the psyche. I was already getting discouraged because of the slow weight loss and not seeing the scale move in a week and well, those 3 lbs just set me off. The VST gang set me straight....

Well, today I've lost those 3 evil freak pounds plus 1! Yeah!!

Love the VST Gang!!

Everything is right with the world .... ;)

Hi Dana,

It eventually always does move.....sometimes it just takes awhile longer than we want it to!! I think we've all been thru it, and more times than we'd want for sure. I'm happy that it moved for you, that's great news!!

Karen :-)

      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.
