Making 100



Recommended Posts

Now I am on a couch potato to 5km program - I'm on week 2 and so far so good.

Delta, is this a real program or what your goal is? I need to start moving soon and I'm not sure where to start. Congrats on the big loss!!!

How encouraging this thread is! I am 8 weeks out pre and post and have dropped nearly 50 pounds. I am doing 600 to 800 calories a day (water is a hit or miss target on some days). and am swimming an hour 3 times a week. My best holiday wishes to you all. CJay

Yes it is a real program, but I lost the training sheet, Delta, do you have it? I know it was on the coolrunning.com website, but I just looked and I couldn't find it. Can you refresh our memory of how each week goes? I did it awhile back and never could go past the 5th week, however, I saw tremendous progress in just 5 weeks. But for the life of me, I can remember how each week goes!

This is such an excellent program. I recently did my first 5k with a similar training program. It is exhilarating!

Wow! Congrats to those who lost that hundred so fast! that's fantastic!

In a couple of years it won't matter how fast we lost it, just if we kept it off or not. The band has a way of teaching us patience.

I will hit my year December 31st and have lost 73 LBS I wish I had lost 100 the first year but I am happy I have lost this much. My goal is 120 so I will be thrilled when I hit 100 mark.

      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.
