Has anyone lost 200lbs?



Recommended Posts

I haven't had surgery yet but that's what I need to lose too (plus maybe even an additional 25 pounds).

I would like to see a group of people who are working toward a really big weight loss goal with us Renee. I guess we'll just support each other :)

I have a total of 220 to lose and I am down right now 8 months out today 160lbs. Only 60 more to go with ultimately keeping 200 off. After 6 months I slowed WAY down. But now I am working out, and hoping to keep the losing going. Started at 427 down to 265 right now. Let me know if there is any advice or motivating words needed!

I would ideally like to lose 175lbs. 40 down! I have my ticket set to what my NUT said, but I'm only 5'1" so I would like to lose more.

How do you stay motivated? I'm worried about losing motivation and endurance.

I'd love to help support you! I'm hoping to have surgery early July. For insurance coverage I have to do a 12 month supervised diet, my last month will be June. I cannot wait until summer to start my new life!

I am hoping to have my surgery around April or May. I am still hoping it will be sooner. I have already lost 7 of the 15 pounds I'm required to lose pre op. How's it going for you Renee?

I'm not required to lose anything pre-op. I'm just waiting impatiently ;)

I have a picture of myself on my fridge from my heaviest. That's one way, also Just remembering how great I feel after I workout. I started off by walking half a mile twice, the upped it to a mile and so on. I am up to walking 5 miles now. Just kept chugging along. Once the surgery was over I got a ton more energy and just had to motivate myself to start with and the rest has been easy. Just have to get into a routine and make it a habit.

      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.
