Recommended Posts

Yea u! Only 6 more to go! It will be my first time under200 in almost 10 yrs. and I haven't been much under it in well over 20. So looking forward to this second half of my journey and will try to be patient thru the stalls as they come. We can do this!!

I can't wait to hear that you reached your goal. .

I started this challenge at 151 3 weeks ago. Today I weighed in at 147! That's a 2 pound lost! My original goal was 140 by the end of this challenge and I realized that wasn't going to happen and changed it to 145 last week. I know that I can get there.

Giving mine today. Had my three month post-op today and weigh 188.5. Wanted to be 180 by Halloween, but had a stall for two weeks. Down 61 from start though, so still happy.

Missed my old stomach yesterday!!

Now don't get me wrong I adore my sleeve and what its done for me

But the realization that evey meal I have to think so much about stings!

I know I should have been doing this all my life but let's face it I didn't and

learning this hard lesson stings! I hope this gets easier.

Morning all! 233.4 today, so down 2.8.

Hit my goal last week so new goal is going to be to get out of the 230s, even if that means 229.9!

Have a great day everyone!

Yeah! Beat my Halloween goal today! I'm going to just let it ride (not reset my goal) and see what happens next week. That will be the end of this challenge and the beginning of the Thanksgiving Challenge. This is really so much fun working together and celebrating each other's victories.

Some stats for your consideration:

  • Together, all that have participated in the Halloween Challenge have lost a total of 511 lbs. How awesome is that!
  • 7 people have beat their Halloween goal already (2 not showing on the charts since they reset their goal to a higher amount).
  • 4 people have lost more than 20 lbs in the challenge so far.
  • 27 people are at least 60% to their goal.
  • Our cumulative group loss averages per week are nothing less than amazing: 1.7 (1), 2.2 (2), 1.9 (3), 2.2 (4), 3.3 (5), 2.2 (6, so far)

Don't forget to log in to the Thanksgiving Challenge at the same time you log in your final challenge numbers here next week. "Happy Holidays" indeed!

      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.
