200 Pounds Down Present To Myself!



Recommended Posts

I finally got to go get my "200 lb down" present to myself, my sister tattoo! I still have a hard time believing how much I have actually lost and how different I am. So, I'm going to make sure I reward each of my milestones! Here's my first one, a tattoo shared with my sister. A big part of dealing with my weight loss was dealing with our relationship so I could mend the issues we had between us. I am so thankful for the gained relationship with her, and losing the pounds and resentment. Now I'm looking forward to the last 100 lbs to be gone, I'm well on my way!

(My sister's says: "If there ever comes a day when we can't be together...")

You are an inspiration. My surgery date is on April 10th and I have at least 225 lbs to lose in order to reach a normal weight. I sometimes question whether the sleeve will be a powerful enough tool but stories like yours puts my mind at ease. I can't wait to join you on the loser's bench. Keep up the good work!

I still think that every day, if I will be able to actually get all the way there or not. Then I remind myself how far I've come and I realize that I'm well on my way and I need to be proud of that. You will get there and you have a support system here if you need one! Congratulations on taking the first step towards a healthier and happier you! You will do amazing!

I love the tat's but they look so painful! This is a milestone and you will get the next 100 lbs off. Oh and working out your grievances between you and your sis is healing in itself.....

You girls are awesome! :)

      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.
