only lost a pound and stalls...



Recommended Posts

to gain actual/true weight is to eat more calories than one burns off...

3500 calories is a pound ate or drank.......and if you dont know or believe, but
if one loses inches, they are losing weight regardless of what the scale says or dont say..

scale goes up and down all day long... last but not least, understand, you wont lose it all over night...if you cant be positive now, what will you do when it does really slow down?? give up? bit* , p*iss, moan???


NO, you keep doing the right thing and let the band, or any wls work and we help by doing our part

...its a day in and day out process..

if you are able to walk.......that is a NSV

if you can wipe your ass.....that is a NSV

if you can put your own socks on.....that is a NSV

if you can sit on a chair or bed no longer fearing it breaking...that is a NSV

these are some of my personal NSV's after i had WLS

i did not care what the scale said (still dont as i go by losing inches/clothes getting bigger on me)

i did not care if i ever got to be a size 2

i wanted to be able to do those things

merely WALKING without fear of passing out due to heavy breathing

merely sitting down somewhere not being scared the chair would break

(like in the movie shallow hal)

trust me, those NSV mean a lot MORE than a stupid ass number on a scale

when you go from wearing a TIGHT size stretch 30 to a snug 12/14 ......you understand

when inches lost means losing TRUE weight...

only lost a pound?

how about being able to live comfortably

its about health

not about being skinny or a size...

      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.
