Labor day Challenge



Recommended Posts

Ok everyone. Here's the next challenge. Labor Day!

Bear with me as I adjust to taking over the challenges from Bea.

Not sure if this link will work but lets try. I am also not terribly great with Xcel..but I know the basics.

First weigh in will be Monday July 7th. That will give us all a total of 9 weigh ins from start to finish, which will be Monday Sept 1st. It will be a long challenge, and will carry us threw the rest of summer and into start of fall.

I will post another with the pointers, rules etc for the other challenges. Same apply to this as all of the others.

Just make sure to adjust your goals to accommodate for the 2 months we will be in this one.

Any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated. I will like the posts as I enter them in, so that will not change.

I'm not sure where to set my goal as I've had surgery within the last two weeks and am currently dropping almost a pound a day. I know this will slow down soon.

Sw: 245

Cw:235

Goal: 210 (?) too little? Thoughts from the pros?

      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.
