posting pics for 1st time - 8 lbs from goal



Recommended Posts

Ok, let's hope this ole gal (me! turning 60 in 2 months) can get these pics attached.

The one in the black top is me at my highest weight 225lbs, and the one in the Red Sox shirt is today - only 8 lbs from goal.

Weight coming off very s l o w l y now, but no worries, I'm just following the plan (high Protein, low carbs, lots & lots of Water and exercise) and it will come off when it comes off.

You are doing very well. I had surgery around the same time as you and things are at a snails pace for me. I still have 20 some lbs to lose and don't know if I will make it. Getting very discouraged. But I am very happy with what I have lost.

great success

66 lbs gone

those last 8 lbs can be stubborn, but yes, they will come and go before you know it :)

you look great in both pics - but the red sox one is terrific

sorry you "lost your head" :(;)

(i have heard this can be one of the more serious side effects from the sleeve :angry: :lol:)

keep up the good job :)

Thanks everyone! The best part is that I am off all of my diabetes meds, my HBP meds and my cholesterol meds!! Hahahha Kathy - I'm not good at taking 'selfies' I guess.

Having the sleeve was the best decision I've ever made. No regrets at all.

thanks again

      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.
