Silly Rant!



Recommended Posts

WOW Sharon you lost so much in 4 months. You look fantastic and I never would have guessed you were not in the 200's yet. Have you started to exercise yet? If so, what are you doing? Keep going strong.

I was walking several days a week until about 3 weeks ago. I've having difficulty with a nerve that goes into my leg (unrelated to surgery) as well as plantar fasciitis in one foot, so I've backed off for a while.

I'm also 5 ft 7 inches tall, which helps me carry the weight in a "thinner" looking way.

I saw some friends tonight that I haven't seen since before my surgery. I got lots of "oh my gosh, you're skinny!". I had to laugh, since I'm still in the 300's. :D

Thanks for sharing about your exercise. So sorry to hear about your foot. I have had that many years ago and I know what I went through was very difficult. I hope that with the weight .loss it will be easier for you to heal. I am sure there are still some exercise you can do even if it is just sit down for now. Don't let this derail you, keep on going strong.

You've done well, eventually it will slow down too.. and you have to look for your body pattern.. I found mine will stick to the same weight for about 2.5-3 weeks, then I lose 5-6 pounds in one week, then I'm back to my mini plateau.. however, now.. during that 2-3 weeks of non weight loss, I'm losing inches like crazy.

do you go to a gym? Try to still get in weights if you can.. also, my gym has a bike for the arms.. which helps those who are not able to walk still get their heart rates up.. or rowing.. or we have a rope machine as well.. Swimming is also an option if you have an indoor pool around.

I have to say that I am a bit jealous. I had my surgery on August 17th and am only 64 lbs down. My doctor says I'm doing great but I'm hoping to lose 64 more. Right now just hopeful for onderland by the 6 month mark. And I agree with poster who said my business is Protein, fluids, Vitamins, and exercise. I believe that the lbs will come off eventually. Also you are doing GREAT and should not worry about 2 lbs. They will come off. Keep up the good work.

To show just how very silly my silly rant was, Friday I was 301. Now five days later, I'm at 292.

Still have a fever, but hey, I'll take it.

Your weight loss doesn't count when you're sick because chances are when you feel better, you'll eat more and the weight may go up. I remember when I weighed myself after having a colonoscopy. Of course I had lost five pounds in one day...but I gained it all back once I started to eat again. :)

      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.
