St. Patrick's Day Challenge



Recommended Posts

Hope you don't mind but I've done my next weigh in today - I'm off skiing in Austria later on so won't be able to check in on Monday!

Today I weighed in at 157. I can't believe I've had such a massive drop after it being so slow for weeks, but I'm not complaining!

It also takes me out I an obese bmi and into just (!!) overweight :). Today is a good day'

Yayyyyy! I reache my goal for this challenge! 157.0 today! I guess I am losing 2lbs a week. I hope that doesn't stop until I reach my final goal!

Thank you for the challenges Bea. They kept me focus on my short term goals and success rather than obsess about how much more I need to lose and how far my final goal seem.

Start weight 230.6

Goal originally was 225 but changed it to 220 when I hit 225 two weeks ago. However I bounced right back up again after that.

227.6 this morning so an overall loss of three lbs. Yesterday I was 226.5. Very, very frustratingly slow, see sawing to my goal. I don't lose steadily anymore. Guess that's the way it's gonna go.

Thanks so much for doing this Bea!

      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.
