Recommended Posts

Hi :)

I have posted pics here before but I took a new after photo yesterday morning so here it is.

I was sleeved 21st January 2013. My start and current weight are on the pics but I'll say in lbs for all you Americans haha.

Before 247lbs

After 162lbs

I'm about 20-30lbs from goal.

Thank you so much!!

A typical day would look like this:

Breakfast:

A lot of the time I skip Breakfast which is really bad but when I do eat it I have a piece of fruit or 1 boiled egg.

Lunch:

Shaved chicken or a can of tuna

Dinner:

Lasagna or chicken/beef/lamb curry

Snack:

Bowl of steamed veggies

I love to cook and try new meals, also trying healthy versions of things. I made a healthy nachos the other day and boyfriend and I both loved it.

As for exercise I'm training for a 14km run at the moment so I try to run 3 times a week. I also have a gym membership but I haven't been going :/

I need to start doing weights to tone up because as you can see my thighs and tummy are flabby.

When I'm bored or have nothing to do I will just make up a circuit, usually something like:

1 min plank

50 squats

20 push ups

30 leg lifts

30 star jumps

And repeat

Have you had your surgery?

Fantastic! You look like a different person! I was sleeved 2 months before you and still 15lbs till goal ... I'm finding the weight loss has really slowed now! Grrrr. Anyways you look great - not flabby at all as you mentioned, and you cant even see your scars at all!

Gee you looked great even before! I am so jealous you didn't have the upper and lower bellies! You must be really tall because i started at 98 kg and look nowhere near as gorgeous as you did when you started. And you look fabulous now too.

      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.
