I need to lost 20lbs in 3 weeks



Recommended Posts

Had surgery December 30th and I lost a total of 23 lbs in the month of January. I am now 189. I know I won't lose a lot because I was never huge according to my doc. Anyways I have a bridal shower on the 23rd of February and I just ordered my favorite dress online in size LARGE since that was the biggest size they had. I work out at the gym 3 times a week since I work full time and go to school full time. I do wake up early like 5am every day so I thought I can do some DVD workouts at home on Monday to Friday. I really need to lose 20lbs because I am scared my dress won't fit. I eat very healthy so hopefully I'll be able to do it :/ so nervous and this will be a huge party. Wish me luck

Don't put too much stress on yourself..going to school and working full time seems like a very hectic schedule, plus upping your exercise routine. . U may have lost more inches than u realize. Fingers crossed.

No my waist is still 46in I did lose my bra size from 40-36.. I need to lose some weight from my tummy because the dress is fitted and don't want to look like a prego girl haha.

Yes I always tend to keep my plate full. I have to workout more. I walk for an hour during my lunch Monday to Friday and gym Friday to Sunday but now I want to add DVD workout at 5am for Monday to Friday

I've lost 73 pounds and I still carry the pregnant tummy look. Granted its smaller becuase I've lost so much weight..but its still there under all my clothes.

I know that a couple of the vets have stated that the biggest part of you is always the last to go down.

Keep working it honey....you sound like youre pretty determined so I'm guessing you'll be close. Maybe wear some Spanx under the dress if its close?

      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.
