please send the weight loss fairy my way



Recommended Posts

So I had a weight loss goal to be a specific weight by Thanksgiving. I think I was 2 pounds shy of the goal (can't remember what the number was). I then set another goal to be under 200 by Christmas and again I did not reach my goal. So I thought well ok then. Can I get under 200 by start of the new year? And I have been doing decent but I had a stressful few days. Father in law is in hospital for congestive heart failure which has caused pneumonia and A-fib. Needless to say he's not doing so good.

So I was out running a couple errands Saturday and stopped in the Christmas section at the store to see what they put on sale and ended up with box of chocolates and box of Cookies at half price. Yesterday I proceeded to eat several Cookies (over the course of the day) and a couple chocolates. I woke this morning thinking well I blew it. Not meeting my mini goal this holiday either. I weigh daily (except forgot to weigh Saturday while getting ready to head to hospital) so I know where I am and so there are no surprises. So, I stepped on the scale to check the damage and was like well it could have been worse. Only up 0.8 and went to step off the scale but looked at it a second time. It wasn't 202.8 like I thought. It was 200.8 I had to do a double take. I had lost 1.2 in 2 days. So I'm thinking there might be a chance to reach my mini goal by New Years day after all.

So please send that precious little weight loss fairy to my house. I need some good news for New Years.

Hang in there, we all are going to have our up and down days. But I have decided that if I am gone eat Cookies "Oh and yes I love cookies" then I got to put in the time at the gym. I still can't each much but I find that Cookies just melt in my mouth :P , so in return I have to burn it off on the treadmill!

You got this!

You are so right. I should work out today. I've been on vacation from work and my schedules been off a bit. So I haven't walked since last week. I'll take my new 3lb weights for a test drive. I'm graduating from 2lb weights. Yay!

Well I did not make it below 200 before New year's but I did finally make it a couple days later. I'm down to 194 now.

I will be happy to share my weight loss fairy. She is quiet generous these days.

I hope it starts going down for you real soon.

I know when my weight is playing games if I buckle down and focus on Protein and eliminate carbs of all kinds for a while. It will start dropping again. I'm only 4 months out right now. So depending on how far out you are. It might be easier said then done.

      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.
