In Onederland For The First Time In 30 Years!



Recommended Posts

I wanted to say it here. Over 30 years ago I graduated from High School. I weighed 199lbs. That was the last time I saw the 100's.

Until today. I stepped on the scale and there it was....199 lbs.

I cried....tears of happiness, and relief, because that damn scale messed with me for days at 200lbs. and some odd ounces. LOL

I just really wanted to share this with everyone. Even if nobody responds. I'm so amazed at what I have done, so far.

My progress pictures are in my gallery.

146 lbs gone.

49 to go!

That's awesome, I can't wait to get there myself. I haven't been under 200 since about 7th grade so I can totally relate.

Thanks everyone! That was so nice you took a moment to congratulate me! Feels so good!!

I don't even remember being at what I set my goal weight. (150) The smallest I remember is 179 in 7th grade.

I'm probably looking at my 5th grade weight! lol I actually want to lose more, as I'm really short. My surgeon wasn't having it. He said he never wants to see me below 125.

The BMI chart he referred to, to show me how big I was, is the same one I am looking at that is telling me that I should weigh between 113-120 lbs. *shrugs*

I know this, ...something I never ever realized before, I was meant to be tiny. You should see my wrists! I had no idea.

      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.
