70 pounds down and 60 inches lost



Recommended Posts

I take my measurements once a month and was excited to note that I've lost 60 inches in 4 months (I take neck, biceps, chest, waist, hips, thighs and calves). I have another 10 days until my 4-mo anniversary from surgery and I've lost 70 pounds so far (hopefully another 4 pounds down by then).

Have been a "consistent" loser so far, but not breaking any records...no real stalls... Took some pants in to be altered yesterday, and was really something to see how much she pinned on the sides and the seat/crotch (btw, that is just a word that sounds terrible).

The boobs are just now starting to deflate, still an F cup and look good in a bra, but holy geez, nekkid is an entirely different story.

Last two months I've been exercising 3x weekly...Started doing barre classes last week, and the bodies of the other class participants encourages me that my muscles could become more "eucalyptus" than "oak trunk" like I currently have :-)

Jen you were beautiful before, but even more beautiful now. Keep up the good work. I just did my surgery last Thursday and I'm down 18 lbs from surgery and plus 28 from the pre-op diet. I'm new to this app I don't know how to use it well.

Just got back from a 3-day wine tasting trip and it was SOOO nice to actually think I looked good in the pics taken.

      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.
