I know its not much....but



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share my progress so far. 41 pounds gone. Exercising 5x a week.

The left photo was taken the first day of school this year in August 2013. I weighed 369.

The right photo was taken last week because I felt "skinny" for some reason at work. I am now 328.

My surgery was 10/2/13. I still have a lot of work to do, but:

1.) my clothes fit better

2.) I'm rediscovering old clothes I haven't worn in 4-5 years

3.) my shoes fit better!

4.) I'm not tired all the time

5.) people notice my weight loss now

Forty one pounds is awesome! Great job and keep up the good work. Give yourself credit and realize it takes time. I had surgery in October as well. I am so glad I did it and am experiencing some of the things you mentioned (clothes fitting better, feeling better, and people noticing) and it is an awesome feeling. Be proud of yourself!

Fantastic job!!! Don't discount the non-scale victories! Feeling better, moving better, clothes and shoes fitting better...those are just as remarkable as the numbers dropping on the scale! Keep it up, sister :)

So happy for you! I like #4 -- not feeling tired all the time. That feels like the key to everything, doesn't it? Having the energy to make good choices, to be active and happy in our lives. Yippee! Keep at it -- you are doing beautifully.

Believe me I am not discounting myself at all. I do feel so much BETTER!

I just meant that it's not as much as some other people that post pictures of themselves on here (like 100 pounds). Don't worry, I'm proud of my 41 pounds.

Just had a fill yesterday. At 6/10cc now. I'm hoping to me down to 50 pounds by Feb. 1st. :)

By the way! I found a GREAT free app last night. You document pictures of yourself and share them with others on their weight loss journey. It is great encouragement.

The app is called: Weilos

My username is: nicolemarie3726613

      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.
