Goodbye 230's; Hello 220's



Recommended Posts

I hit 229.2 today. Granted it's the low 220's but I haven't seen that weight since I got married almost 4 years ago and that was after doing Jenny Craig for several months. Woo Hoo!!!

congrats! Every little step puts such a smile on my face. I put on a pair of jeans yesterday that hadn't fit me in a long time and they where a perfect fit. I now can't wait for them to be too loose!

I'm also not pushing our scale past 0 anymore which is a treat for me.. lol My wife calls me the incredible shrinking husband. haha

I have lost 20lbs on my "new diet" since I started my pre-op in January. It is amazing how old jeans are fitting. I got on the scale yesterday at the doctor's office and FINALLY hit 239.8; I was doing the happy dance in the office. I am so excited to go to my pre-op appointment tomorrow; and get a date scheduled so I can get a tool to help me loose the rest.

Congrats!!

      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.
