I hit GOAL everyone!



Recommended Posts

Thanks everyone!

I'm still in shock, really.

I even weighed myself this morning and am now 2 pounds under my goal!

I'm flabbergasted!

I never thought in a million years that I'd weigh what I do, it's still so surreal!

Yet motivating.... ;)

I have been lately, yeah. I was really worried that I'd have loose skin (aka bat wings) so I've been concentrating on upper body lifting and I'm quite pleased with the results. I do have some damage, don't get me wrong, (especially when I bend over, you can see the loose wrinkly skin a bit) but overall I'm happy and proud of what I've accomplished :)

Thank you for the nice compliment!

I am going to continue on working on toning up more and maybe even lose a few more pounds :)

I think the hard part now is maintaining! Eeekkkk! LOL

Thanks for sharing, I'm scheduled for my sleeve on 11/17 (fingers crossed) and one of my worries was the excess skin many have spoken about apart from other things people have spoken about online, like the strain on relationships afterwords. Some of the surgeons on realself.com stated that excess skin was inevitable and I don't forsee being able to afford a body lift. I am 235 lbs and hopefully with hard work and exercise it won't be too bad. I think the pros of a potentially healthier life outweigh the negatives... Thanks 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.
