I'm stuck with you guys! STILL! I started lifting weights yesterday and hope that will break my plateau. I also signed up with a personal trainer so she can make sure that I am doing all I can (and doing it correctly) to continue the weight loss. Here's hoping!

Good luck everyone...don't give up! dontgiveup.jpg

I find it rather odd that we are all hitting a plateau at the same time. Maybe that means it is part of the process where are bodies are adjusting to what we have gone through so far and just need to shake things up a bit. I have a "hunch" that we will break through this soon.

Well the scale is STILL stuck. In fact, it went up a tad before settling right back where it was before. I'm pretty disgusted with the whole thing right now, but I'm still trudging through. My efforts have GOT to pay off sooner or later. I don't start with my trainer until the 24th, so I'll just keep trying on my own until then.

I doubt very seriously if I will even come close to my goal, but I refuse to change it and am still trying for it. (I told y'all I was stubborn, right? LOL)

I'm looking forward to this Saturday! The largest wine festival in the South is in Grapevine, Texas this weekend, which is about 15 minutes from home. I think it is going to be wonderful! We are taking an antique train from the Fort Worth Stockyards into Grapevine and spend the day. I will have a "cheat day" that day. I won't have time to go to the gym, and I'm going to eat whatever my heart desires! (And that my band will allow, of course!) I saw my trainer at the gym and she said to try "shocking the body" by going completely off my regimen for a day. I'll let y'all know just how bad it gets! LOL

I know I said I wasn't weighing until the weekend, but I just had to know! The scale moved a little, so I am updating, but I am now worried about getting to goal. At least I am not gaining I guess.

Dare I say it?!?!? The scale is finally starting to move in the right direction as of today. The weight lifting is helping, I believe. I'm hoping to post a good change at the end of next week. Here is to lots of sweat and lots of prayer!

OK - I gave in and adjusted my weight according to the scales at the surgeons office. So now my start weight is 349 - and my goal was adjusted to 320 - for a goal loss of 29 pounds. I think I can do that!!

      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.
