New Year's Resolution?!



Recommended Posts

I just realized I have never made a New Years resolution that didn't involve losing weight or some sort of fad diet. Now what to do⁉️ What a wonderful problem to have!

Yeah, and seeing all the ads for weight loss solutions!.. NOPE, been there done that! Don't need to do any more than I already am doing! I feel very happy that my weight is heading downwards slowly but surely, and I'm feeling better all the time.

@@Kindle Wow. I signed on just now to post a very similar thing!!! But I'll just add my comment to your post.

All these new year's 'weight loss' resolution commercials; and which weight-loss program to join; and to 'lose 5 pounds the first week,' etc. Marie Osmond. Weight Wathcers. etc. I do NOT have to WORRY myself with that stuff anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoop, whoop!! Whippeee!!!!!!!!!!!! Hot Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!

The FREEDOM that VSG/WLS gives is remarkable!!!!!!! And it IS freedom from the dread and the 'let me try this again this year, this week, this coming Monday, this.... blah, blah blah., knowing you're only going to fail again. We have F-R-E-E-D-O-M!!!!

Thank you, God, that I decided to take the step to VSG/WLS. It gave me a wonderful 2014 and I anticipate only greater happiness in 2015.

Haha, I thought about the same thing! Fortunately, I still have a few pounds to go so I won't have to be creative this year and come up with something new, but what a novel idea- to not have to go on a major diet on New Year!

My resolutions are all about my Real Estate career this year. Nice to focus on something other than dieting for once!

My surgery was just 2 weeks ago so I still have a "fitness" goal/resolution this year because I want to make sure I do things right.

Here are my resolutions:

- Be active (gym, etc.) 3x per week when given the go-ahead by surgeon.

- Read at least 50 books.

- Spend more time with friends!

I don't have a resolution this year. More of a promise to myself. I usually do the whole diet and exercise thing too. But this year I can focus on the shopping trip I'm planning with my daughter (because I really need clothes that fit) and the roller coasters I'm going to ride with my son when we go to amusement parks and all the other fun things I can finally do this year. So excited to start this year out not feeling dumpy and ashamed of myself because I once again let myself go instead of being committed. Such a great feeling to be proud of what you've accomplished and feel great about how you look. And all the little NSV's. I've never taken so many pictures with me in them before. Hope everybody else is feeling blessed for making the best decision we could have ever made.

      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.
