Gamegirl I love that you can do the math with ease.....me, total math phobe! :)

Can you play the same game with excess weight to loose?

I'm early in my progress, starting my Kaiser Options classes next week, for 12 weeks, won't be able to schedule surgery until sometime in February. They require us to lose 10% of our current weight before surgery.

But I'm curious as to what my excess weight to loose is.....

CW: 244

Goal: 130

Well to lose 10% of your weight, you'd have to lose about 24 lbs. but when you reach your goal? You're going to be about half the woman you are now, so to speak. You will have lost 46% of your starting weight. How incredible is that? Nothing you own now will come close to fitting you then. You know that, right? Clotjes, underwear, belts, nighties, many of your shoes, none of it will fit. It will twe times too big. Get ready to shop like a mad woman

Omg, thanks!!!!!!

Yup, planning to have boob job in the new year, which should take 3-4 lbs off. Felt I could go a bit further weightwise so after surgery that should leave me about 7-8lbs to go to my new goal. But am doing it one pound at a time... Dietician warned that I may get to a point where I look too scrawny but I wanted to get within the healthy BMI range...

Can't quite believe I am almost there - can't believe 92% !!!!! Thanks for this, think you have singlehanded given reassurance to us all. And you really are looking fab x

      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.
