We are having the 199.0 party!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I made it! I made it!!! I just cant believe it. Got on the ole scale this morning and blinked in utter amazement. The scale fluttered at 198.5 and settled on 199.0. I almost popped a gasket. Called my hubby in and got on and off the scale at least a half dozen times. Is it broken? My hubby gets on and says, NO, unfortunately for me, but great for you! I went from a BMI of 53.9 to 32.3 in 14 1/2 months and from a tight 28 to a 12/14 on top and 16 loose in the booty! I am really really happy. Thanks for all of your support! I look forward to meeting some of you folks in Vegas! Maybe I should drop another 4 or five lbs so I can party my butt off and not worry about the consequences! LOL

That's great Babs! You've done so well. You have really lost weight quickly. Seeing that needle dip below 200 is just the greatest, isn't it? Congratulations!

Yes Babs, Pat yourself on the back for that one! You did good. It is amazing how excited we get with our scales. I do the same thing. Stare at it in amazement and jump on and off again at least one or two more times consecutively. Anyway Congrats!!! Teresa

Coming a little late to this, here are my CONGRATULATIONS!! too!! What a great milestone, you must be thrilled!

I'm still dancing around the 250 milestone, which my vacation probably set back by three weeks. But no matter, I can take pleasure in other people's achievements and know my day will come. Good job!!! :D

      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.
