Finally one more lb gone!



Recommended Posts

It has been weeks and finally another lb gone. It is so slow because I eat everything now. Those just starting, stay on plan till you reach your goal. I teetered off at about 6 months and now I eat too many carbs. It definetly is showing in my weight loss. After Xmas I am going back on plan again. Just so thankful that my restriction is still there. Still can only eat very small amounts of food at a time. That is really a God send for me. So thankful for this surgery.

I realize now why I was led by God to this surgery. My husband has lung cancer and will be starting radiation and chemo this week. I am able to get around better and do so many things now so I will be able to care for him over the next 3 months. It would have been nearly impossible to take good care of him at my previous weight and health.

I know exactly what u mean by the carbs slowing weightloss. I eat EVERYTHING just in really small quantities and it's showing on the scale. I made a decision before Thanksgiving that I would maintain until after the holidays then I'll tackle the last 18 lbs I have left

Hubbys planning on going on Atkins Induction again in Jan (he lost 80 lbs with Atkins years ago). While I'm NOT going on Atkins, I will however be cutting back on my sweets, breads, and pastas. And stop the nighttime snacking. I hafta ban all food from my bedroom. Thats where I do all my nighttime snacking - while lying in bed watching tv. I've been known to save 1/2 my daily calories for after dinner so I can snack. That plan backfired!

Good luck to u. Thank God for my sleeve. Everyday I get on the scale I expect it to go up - it doesn't. Wow.

I am losing 1 pound/ week in Dec. I'm pretty happy with it.

Going to hit the gym hard after the first of the year.

Lost 62 pounds so far. 23 to go!

      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.
