The day's the scale move!



Recommended Posts

These are the happiest of days when I get up,strip down, and step on that scale to see a drop in lbs!!!! It's the best feeling, the feeling of success and accomplishment for all my hard work!!!!

HW 207

SW 200

CW 179 :)

5 weeks out!!!!!!

I can honestly say the new way I eat now is satisfying! I'm back working out pretty hard! I'm full most of the time except for night time cravings! But I must say going to bed hungry every night is a small price to pay for this weight loss! I can eat this way the rest of my life!!! I'm so encouraged right now and pleased with my decision. All the hard times are so worth it. I'm now 29 lbs away from my goal of 150 or 49 lbs from my super goal of 130. I'm undecided about being less than 150 I'll have to see how I look when I get there I don't want to be to skinny I want to build muscle weight lifting also! Be encouraged yall! Good days do happen it does get better and it is all worth it!!!!

Congratulations! My surgery is two weeks from today. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I would love to hear how your first few weeks after surgery went as far as energy level, being able to get your Water in, etc. My SW and your will be the same as I have to get to that number before the surgery.

I'm excited for you! It's truly a exciting thing! The first few weeks are tough mentally and physically! Your tired sore and your body is just freaked out!!! I never got to hungry but I did feel weak! Walking 15 min a day was hard for me but I pushed myself 15 to 20 then 30 plus mins a day! I was prepared for the weakness and soreness I was however not prepared for the emotional aspect of it all!!! I mourned food I was angry dad and SUPER irritable! I had two melt downs and cried for no reason and was just restless! This all got better around day 7-8 when I got some Protein shakes in my body! I had zero trouble with Water I drank 3 liters a day pretty early on I never messed with Soups just shakes and water for almost 3 weeks. Cream of mushroom was ok I ate it once and some broth but shakes were satisfying! I also tried sugar free Jello crystal light and pop sickles but found the fake sugar crap made me have extreme cravings. I recommend staying away from anything sugar free! Once I stopped the Jello and Popsicles my cravings stopped! It's tough but soooooooo worth it! You'll have your ups and downs but in the long run there are so many more ups than downs!!! Good luck to you! Let me know if you have any other questions :)!

Thanks for your response!! I am hoping that my recovery is as good as yours. Fifteen days out I have to start traveling for business and I'm hoping I will be up for it. Any tips on Protein Shakes and Vitamins that helped you would be appreciated. I'm excited to see your success and hope I will be posting the same results soon

The 7th day I was allowed to add on Protein Shakes I took one premier chocolate shake which is 30gms Protein in the blender with two scoops zero carb Isopure Protein powder which is 50gms protein (80 gms total!!!!!) and blended it with lots of ice and 2 tablespoons PB2 because I love Peanut Butter flavor! This made about a 16oz smoothie I drank all day long. I'd drink 2-3 oz every couple hours give or take! It's so yummy and satisfying! I'd sip it and Water and concentrate on walking for the entire second week. Doing it that way made it easy for me! Now I have added in eggs lean meats cottage cheese some veggies etc I've adjusted the shakes also because I can drink a entire shake pretty quickly and 80gms protein is way to much at once. Now I use Atkins vanilla 15gms protein and one scoop Isopure 25gms protein. Or do a half Atkins half almond milk plus isopure mixture. PB2 is a must have also.

      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.
