Back on Track at 51



Recommended Posts

I am almost 3 years out and need help to lose more weight to reach my goal. I have been at a stand still for almost 6 months. I want to lose at least 20 lbs and get discipline again. I am going thru menopause and have had a hard time dealing with me being 50 and getting old. I want that motivation back when I lost 80lb.....my goal is to reach 100lbs weight loss. I do not like Protein Shakes and I snack alot. I need to have someone really help me get on track before I gain weight back and that is what I am scared of. Any ideas and motivation will be greatly appreciated.

Hi! Love that comment about Oprah. So true!

I am 53, and going for surgery in one week! I am excited. Hoping I have gotten everything I need for when I get home from the hospital.

Flavored waters? Check. Bariatric Vitamins? Check. Protein powders and drinks? Check. Crystal light, Decaf teas, herbal tea, decaf coffee, sugar free Popsicles, mixer cup, sippy cups, water bottle, S/F pudding, fat free Soup and broths.

Organize bedroom and nightstand.... Uh, not yet. And clean sheets!

Any other advise as I go to get reborn and start on the new me?

I like your check list...I'm up for gastric bypass in 13 days!!!!

What's you favorite flavor/brand to add to your Water?

      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.
