Lose vs loose - the teacher in me!



Recommended Posts

So, the teacher in me wants to remind my fellow weight loss friends that you LOSE weight - you don't LOOSE it. We are losing weight - we are not loosing weight! Now - our skin is loose and our clothes are loose as we LOSE this weight - but we are NOT loosing the weight! Hope this little english lesson helps! Keep up the losing weight so that our clothes are loose (and unfortunately our skin is loose too).

Thanks for the reminder. I've been wanting to say the same thing! (Retired 8th grade science teacher)

Oh yes this kind of thing is my all time pet peeve! Bad thing is I passed it on to my son! Unfortunately he is not so diplomatic in correcting people!

      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.
