Valentine's Challenge



Recommended Posts

Bea, you do so much already and are giving so much of your personal time to do these challenges you shouldn't have to spend even more time reminding us to report in. Each of us should have enough personal responsibility to weigh in and report without you having to remind us. If that is too much for us then thats on us. Thanks again Bea for all you do.

I totally agree.. I know your heart is in the right place and I totally appreciate that but it is a challenge after all and the only way to be successful at any challenge is to at least show up. If people can't remember to show up, then, I'm sorry but it's just not that important to them. :)

Bea,

You are awesome! For me, I am good with NO reminder. That really is a lot of work, and like I said in the beginning, we can each put a reminder on our calendars :), that is what I did.

Take care and hopefully the scale works for us all tomorrow!

Current weight - 179lb

Goal weight - 169lb

Morning everybody! Hope your weeks have all gone well and we get some good losses today!

My stats:

Start of challenge - 179lb

Week 1 weigh in - 175lb!!

4lb loss which I wasn't expecting at all! I think this will probably mean I don't lose anything next week, though!

Finally joined a gym yesterday (3 months post op - oops) and went before work yesterday. I don't know what effect the exercise will have on my weight, but I am going to try and concentrate on body composition now I think.

1/10/14- 255lbs

Bea I agree with everyone else about reminders. You're instructions on the 1st post are very, VERY clear as to what to do and it's enough work to take care of all this data for everyone. You shouldn't need to remind us too! I absolutely appreciate you :)

OMG, OMG, OMG! Can't believe it, but weighed 202.8 this AM! -7.2 from last week. Worked out like a maniac and kept my eating perfect. It really does work LOL!

My heart is racing at the thought that I could potentially be below 200 at next week's weigh in!

Have a great day everyone!

      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.
