4th of July Challenge: Red, White and Blue: Whole New You!



Recommended Posts

Per @@goplay94123 I am posting this. I am finally under 200lbs. Not by much, but still I made it. Of this morning I am 199.2lbs. I thought I would never get here. I believe the last time I was under 200lbs was when I was in junior high or even late elementary school. That is sad to say, but trying to do better presently. I got old fat, but Lord willing, it is going to be gone fat! How many of you out there got old fat, but are working on the gone fat?!

Thanks for hosting this, GoPlay. We all appreciate the time and thoughtfulness you put in to making this a fun challenge. I reached my goal of 194 a few days after the challenge ended. Looking forward to the next one!

8. Prize Winners: Since we all worked hard at the challenge and any weight loss is a victory, I used the following criteria for determining the winners of the prizes:

a. I took everyone who participated through the end of the challenge and logged a weight each week

b. I applied a randomizer to next to each name

c. I picked the first Active Weight Loss participant who logged each week and had the lowest random number

d. I picked the first Maintenance Mode Weight Loss participant who logged each week and had the lowest random number

Congrats to Active Weight Loss Mode Participant @@rubia72

      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.
