Recommended Posts

I made it through the holidays without gaining so that is good but I am ready to get to goal. Need to lose about another 20-25lbs. I will have to through the carb detox too. Man those carbs are like drugs. Alway calling my name. Good luck and happy new year to all!!

I want to get to goal this year, preferably in the next few months (my surgery was 12/19/12). I'm going to be more diligent with weighing and measuring my food, since I've gotten a little lax with that. I'll continue tracking every bite on my fitness pal. And, I'm going to ramp up my exercise. Here's to a healthy 2014!

I need to cut back on the sugar.... I havent seen any weight gain from it yet but I find mysekf reaching for it a LOT mor often than I had been.... I never really limited the other carbs as long as I ate Proteins first...

I recently had hysterectomy and studies show the aveerage weight gain 1 year out is 20 pounds...THAT CANNOT HAPPEN FOR ME so I need to monitor my habits....

Aww thank you so much!!

Actually my hair is very thin. I've lost half my volumn. I was blessed to have very thick hair. :) I do take 10,000 mcg of Biotin everyday and have started taking prenatal vitamins! hahaha.. funny someone my age taking prenatal Vitamins. I have to say that they really help my hair and nails.

I'm still struggling to lose weight. I wish it wasn't so hard this far out!! Happy to be in a 10 though!

Have a great day and God bless!!

I too want to refocus tracking. I have been trailing off at the end of the day. That's the part of the day with the most "risk" for head hunger behavior. I have not succumbed to it; still, take one thing away and it becomes a slippery slope.

I also would like to have plastic surgery this year.

I want to loose 40lbs and get to goal. This will take a serious effort. Gained 3lbs baking but lost it this week was sick.

Only got a short time frame so even if I loose half I'll be happy.

I first of all want to lose the 10 Lbs I gained between Halloween and New Years day. That will put me back to the after picture below. When I achieve this first goal I then WILL get to my final goal before my Surgiversary date June 21st.

      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.
