Slow losers..... Motivational steps



Recommended Posts

Hi everybody my name is Ballermom and I'm a slow loser. Ok so, I'm not the typical " I lost 100lbs in 4-6 months" deal. So I developed some motivational steps to help others like myself.

Step one- Don't compare yourself with any body. You worked to hard on this Journey with all the hoop jumping just to get the surgery. Time to appreciate how hard you've worked and who you are as an individual.

Step two-make that scale your Be-atch!

Step three- add another weight loss exercise like Skinny Sex!

Step four- don't forget to enjoy the Journey!

I'm definitely in the club. This Monday I'll be 7 weeks out and as of today I am down 19.6 lbs from surgery day. But, you are right, I can't compare myself to anyone else. This is my journey. I'm happy the scale is going down!

Love the pics!!

I'm on my second month long stall right now. In 9 months I've lost 90 pounds. I knew once I was close to being under 200 pounds my weight would stall. Sure enough, I've been stuck at 205 since the last week of June! 90 pounds is a lot of freakin weight though. I'm very happy! I'm content knowing I'll never be 100 pounds overweight again!

I am 7 weeks out and have lost 32 pounds including my 2 week liquid diet. I am happy though because it is coming off and I couldn't have lost 32 pounds in 9 weeks (pre op included) on my own. I will just keep plugging along and when a stall hits and my hair is falling out I will hang in there!! I have lost a ton of inches so I am looking at that as well. Losing slow and a happy girl!! :)

      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.
