reaching weightloss goals



Recommended Posts

When I started my surgery my first goal was to get below my lowest weight I could achieve on my own which was 230. After that my goal was to weigh less then my husband 226. Then my goal was to be in Onederland. Once I made it there my goal was to weigh less than my older sister who was always the thin one 185 . Today I have reached my 5th goal 177 pounds. this is the weight I was when I got married ten years ago. My next goal is to get to 150 pounds which is the median range for my height 5'6'' and body frame size of large. So happy with my sleeve.this surgery is awesome. Life is good :)

I have made similar "milestone" goals. Definitely want to weigh what I did when I got married, and to weigh what I did when I met my husband, then to weigh less than him. Another one on my list is to weigh what is says on my drivers license! LOL

Congratulations! You've done so well achieving your goals....you inspire me to work hard to achieve mine!

Congrats! I had mini goals that included each new digit on the way down so 16, 15, etc. and also percentage of body weight lost. 10%, 20% etc. Here's a calculator for that:

I've been at goal with a 46.85% loss of my body weight for 17 months. And my weight begins with 13!

      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.
