Recommended Posts

I had a low BMI starting out of like 30 so I expected weight loss to be slow but it's not its rocketing off!!! I'm 5'9

HW 207

SW 200

CW 163!!!!

That's 44 pounds in just under 11 weeks ????

I'm working out super hard and counting carbs! I do cardio 3-4 times a week and lift weights 5-6 times a week. The hard work is paying off the weight is melting off!!! I tried on jeans at a store yesterday and was in a size 6 again!!! I can't believe it!!!

I follow the rules to a T! I have not had a single cheat or carb that is not from fruits and veggies! I eat super clean and it's working!!! Good luck everyone. What a awesome tool this has been for me and can be for you as well!!!

Congrats! My surgery was June 4 and I am down but not quite as much as you. I have had a little bit of a rough time adjusting but starting to feel a little more normal now as I come up on 3 months, so I am quite happy! Now if I would just exercise like you.... :D

You can totally do it!!! Good news is diet is 80% of fitness so once you master that, working out you can build up to doing more and more!!!

      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.
