WE DID IT!!!!!

We started Atkins & exercise this week. Basically we decided that we needed to make a change & that it needed to be drastic. The small little changes were too easily ignored & our old habits are strong. So we did all Atkins since our 1-year check-up. And yesterday we had an appointment with the physical therapist and WE BROKE OUR PLATEAUS!!!!! 6 months without breaking 250 for me & 470 for Mikey & now we both did it! Woohooooo!!!

wow! who did you hire to be in the before picture?! You look great!

I did Atkins for about 4 yrs and lost 60 lbs before things went bad on me and I started gaining it all back. I still do a modified atkins - more fruit and a bit less meat and occasionally rice or Pasta but not often cuz I do have trouble with both. Still can't bring myself to eat a piece of bread!

Hey everyone! Just saw this thread and thought I'd give an update! My 1 yr anniversary was on Feb 11...

  • Weight loss so far :85 lbs
  • Inches lost so far : about 35
  • Are you at goal? How much further? I have 15 lbs to goal. After that, we;ll see...maybe I'll try for 10 lbs more.
  • Would you do it again? ABSOUTELY!!!
  • High point / low point : Low point was discovering I had a port leak. High point (aside from losing 85 lbs!!!) was discovering that my port leak mysteriously fixed itself! I got restriction back AND I didn't have to pay for more surgery!!!
  • Before & after pics ..I'll come back with those. I don't have a good pic of me yet after 1 year.

      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.
