64lbs Lost! 3 Months Post Op



Recommended Posts

Hey everybody! I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to post with being back in school working on my Ph.D and taking care of my mom who was recently diagnosed with cancer. But all in all God is good and she's going to pull through this...

I have been steady in the gym even when I don't eat that good, but I stay true and faithful to my Fitness Pal. I have so many successes . Here they are:

I have gone from a size 26 to a size 16. I actually bought a 14/16 jacket ! I almost fainted when I looked in the mirror. A pair of size 18 skinny jeans are just falling down now. I bought them just last week.

To some it may be small, but I was able to lay on the floor with my honey and he wrapped his arms alllllll the way around me and I was so comfortable . He's 6'4 and like 225 and I felt so small. It was a cute feeling. He still can't believe I am so dedicated. One of the most supportive things is that my honey comes to the gym with me after he gets off work at 5 am. I think that is so super sweet. He would just come in his uniform and even work out with me sometime.

I work out 5 days a week at 5 am for 45 - 60 mins . I do strength training and ab workout too ! But more than the weight loss, my energy level is thru the roof. I feel so good abt myself and confident again. I feel sexy, cool, vibrant and all that other good stuff. When I look at pics now I still can't believe it. Although I have a way to go, I have come a long way as well.

I'm in the process of planning my wedding in June 2014 and I want to wow everybody! I mean I want especially my Husband's mouth to drop. I want them to tie that corset until I can't breath, well enough to walk down the aisle at least. Lol But even more than that I want my mom to be in good health to see me. She's always been supportive in my weight loss and just wanted me happy. She loved on me at my biggest and told me how beautiful I was .

I thank God for the support on here and have made some great friends. The journey continues! Stay motivated and if you mess up just get back at it. Don't beat yourself up.. Consistency wins all the time !

Sorry so long ...

Wow is right -- congratulations! And so happy about your Mom, too. Way to go on all the exercise. I'm pretty sure that is the key to success. Your body must be so happy to be on track again. I'm so looking forward to being banded in a couple of weeks. This is very inspirational -- and I'm just off the treadmill. Best wishes!

It's all about sticking to the program and embracing the new lifestyle. You can't "hope" for these results, you have to go out and get them. GREAT job!

I can see the joy you are sharing through your words.

The band journey certainly is easier when you have support from your loved ones. Often times those that are close to do not want us to succeed.

      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.
