Halloween challenge



Recommended Posts

I don't weigh in that frequently and I am currently not setting any official goals...however I am getting ready to do a 40 Days Challenge with one of the yoga studios I practice at, so maybe I can keep track through the challenge. It end on October 17th and begins next Sunday so it does make me curious about the weight loss, although this is more a celebration about having full use of my arm again.

and ANYTHING Halloween...lol

I have not had surgery nor even been to my consultation yet, but know I will need to be losing prior so count me in.

Why don't you pick a reasonable goal of 1-2 lbs/ week and anything above that will be icing on the cake. This early out from your surgery you will more than likely lose quicker because your eating liquids or full liquids... I'm now about seven weeks out and I know I did, but I did have the dreaded 3rd week stall and it lasted just about 2 weeks!!! It's insane that you can be eating so little (500-800 cal/ day) and not lose weight. Anyway one day 2wks after it started I dropped like 7 lbs in one day. Just be patient when it happens( if it happens) because you are not doing anything wrong it's just one of those things. Good luck!! I guess my point of this post is be reasonable when setting your goal and don't set yourself up for failure and as a result discouraging yourself.

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond to me. I know the limited food consumption is gonna be something to get use to. I appreciate your encouragement. I will make realistic goals for myself. I will do my personal weigh in and my subtraction :)

      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.
