Recommended Posts

I lost 20 stinking pounds. It's going on 2 months. I don't know if I'm expecting too much or what! But I thought it would have been more. My others fit like crap. I can't really go buy anything new bc I don't want to have to keep doing that. What to do.

My Dr. said 10 lbs. a month. It may not seem like much now, but that's 120 pounds in a year!

About the clothes: is there a consignment store or Value Village near you? Maybe you could find a few used things to get you by.

You are doing fine - have you ever lost 20 lbs on any other diet in 2 mos. ?? and kept it off. Your body needs time to adjust - then you'll lose more......

I shopped at Walmart, Khols and consignment shops. A year ago I was a size 18. Now I'm a size 2-4.

Thank you :)

I had the 3 butterflies tattooed over the surgical site from the sleeve. The vine tattoo across my belly is from a Tummy Tuck in 2007. I have not had any surgery since weight loss. You can't really tell in the pictures but I have loose skin in my arms and breast. My heaviest was 240. I was 215 on DOS. My weight is stabilized around 143.

Awwww thank you skinny girl :)

You will get to your goal. I remember reading posts and wishing I would lose weight quicker. But before I knew it, I was dropping sizes like crazy. That was the fun part, belting my larger pants ;)

      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.
