Half-way to goal!



Recommended Posts

Wooohoo! I'm half-way to goal this morning! I started out with 128 lbs to lose and when I weighed this morning, I'm down 64 lbs! I'm so excited! My next small goal is to be in Onederland. Only 20 lbs more and I will be there! What an exciting journey this is!

Haha...the secret is that it includes what I lost on the pre-op diet(and some even before that during the 6 month supervised weight loss required by my insurance) too so it's not really as impressive as you think. I've only lost about 13 lbs since surgery. The rest of it was during the pre-op phase.

Congrats!! I'm inspired. I need to lose about the same as you. 130 pounds for me. I'm looking forward to that halfway point.

You should post some before and half-way pics!

I would but there are no before pics. I always make sure the camera is in MY Hand and I'm taking pictures of everyone else so that I'm not included in any of them. Sad, I know, but it's true.

I so understand! I don't have a lot of pics either. My before pic I took on the third day of my preop diet so I would have something for a before pic. It's sad how we have missed out on capturing so much of our lives.

Congratulations! Doesn't it just feel absolutely amazing every time you hit a mile stone? I don't have any before pictures either for the same reasons. I'm hoping I can get a copy of my (surely hideous!) before picture taken at my hospital during pre-op day.

Gee I am glad I'm not the only one who does that! Always in back of the camera, then if someone does try to take a picture I INSIST that it be a head shot only! Had to get a hold of my friend in Oregon to get a picture of me from last year because I knew she had snuck a full pic of me

      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.
