weekly scale challenge



Recommended Posts

Well, the scale finally budged a bit. I lost a 1 lb hunk of lard this week. I was pretty amazed really considering the scale hadn't moved in so long. I hadn't done anything differently last week and in fact missed two of my Water aerobic sessions. I had company last thursday and I was still recovering from a cold on tuesday. I am on my way to the pool now though. Best wishes to all of you, Teresa

I want to share a highlight of my trip to Monterey. Walter and I stopped on our way and met Carol (cadydid) and her husband for dinner. What a terrific inspiration! She has lost so much weight so quickly! She looks fabulous!

I was so inspired by her dedication. It was also encouraging to meet someone who has the small capacity that I do -- and she doesn't whine about it! Now that's what I need to learn! I feel ready to tackle all the challenges ahead! Thanks Carol! :Bunny

Hey Lisa: Do you realize that right now you and I weigh the exact same amount? How cool is that? Of course come Monday all that changes. LOL!!!

I walked this morning 1.5 miles in 20 min with John. WHOO HOO!!! Then came home and did some toning for another 20 min alone. John was pooped from the walk. We also had to do some house cleaning and straightening as we have 60 people showing up tonight for a house party. UGH!!

Love you guys

Do I smell a challenge? What's happening on Monday? I never weight the same as anybody before in my entire life! Penni, we were meant to be!

Thanks Bec! Hey, what do you mean by a small capacity? Duh, I should do some band studying.

Miss Lisa,

Small capacity is probably good restriction -- I don't know! :D I've just never been able to eat more than half a cup or less since surgery. That's a good thing, but I whine about it all the time. :ermm It hurts if I eat more, but I don't pb. I guess that's just my body's way. It was just good to actually see someone else eat so little, rather than just hear about it. I felt like a normal bandster. :D

Jodie-Great LOSS!!! I am so sorry to hear that your divorce is going rough. As a woman who has been through 2- I understand. Walking really helped me though my last divorce. Sometimes, I got lost in my thoughts, prayers, crying, and sometimes singing and would walk for more than an hour or two! I am sending big ((((Hugs)))) to you! Take care of you!!! We are all here for you.

      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.
