50 Pounds down in 2 months!



Recommended Posts

Woohooo I am so excited. Today is my official 2 month weigh-in and I have lost 50 pounds, 94 pounds from my heighest. I am so happy to have lost 50 and am finally feeling like this surgery was worth it. It has taken me awhile to get here just because of all the changes I have had to make and the fact that I can't eat food to make me happy. I never relized how much I relied on food for my happiness but I did 100%. I think the weight loss and feeling healthy and having more energy is my new happiness. I still have my moments when I miss the crappy foods that I love but for the most part I am doing pretty damn good. I can't wait to lose more and feel even healthier and more alive. This is amazing!!! To those people who are having a hard time just hold on as tight as you can. You WILL get to a better spot I promise!!!

You are very welcome. That was why I wanted to post this. To let others like you know that it will get better especially when you feel like there is no hope and you are never going to feel that way. Just stay strong.

Thank you :) I usually exercise Mon-Fri for about 20 min in the morning. I drop my daughter off at school and then walk around the neighborhood around there and then walk back to my car and go home and get ready for work. I also lift hand weights and use bands to strength train. I should do way more but I haven't. I love the walking videos by Leslie Samson. You can get them at Walmart or target, online,almost anywhere. I use her tape to strengh train with the bands. She is great for all ages and all sizes. She only has like 5 moves she does so it's easy but it will def make you sweat! Hope this has helped.

      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.
