Countdown to goal.....



Recommended Posts

Why I just ordered a new Spider ski suit in size 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That thrills me to no end. The pants fit, I can bend over, I can fall, but they fit snug. So in 10 pounds, they will be perfect.

YAHOOO, see you on the slopes.

Hey guys! Thought I would check back in with you all. I have lost a couple more pounds lately! Slow and steady as she goes! My next goal is 159 lbs. I started out at 318 and when I get to 159 I will be half of the body I once was! How awesome is that? My ultimate goal is 155, but for now I've got my heart set on 159!

18 to go!!!

Wow Kim, I didn't know your stats before, you deserve a great big hug.

What an inspiration you are!

It just amazes me that I am only 13 pounds overweight. Even when part of me doesn't believe I will ever make goal, somewhere in the back of my brain, I know it will happen, if I make it.

Cheers to all of us. My last fill really helped things move along. I think this will be it for me.

Thanks so much Paulax! You deserve a big hug too, you are doing awesome! Congrats on reaching the 180s! I hope those last 13 pounds just melt away. It is hard to believe that we have come this far isn't it? Congrats again and thanks again!

go Paulax, Kim and Argon!!! Ya'll are doing GREAT! I love coming into this section of the board- everyone here is truly an inspiration!

how many times have you adjusted your goal (if any?) I've never weighed below 170 as an adult (I'm 5'9"); I set 145 as my goal but don't know if that's too thin.

I am kind of in the process now of changing my goal. I am thinking of setting it higher. My original goal was around 175. I am thinking 180 might be a 'good enough' place for me. ???? I feel thinish, look thinish. ???? I guess I will know when I get there.

Recently some of my size 12 pants are getting big. I can pull them down without undoing them and they look saggy in the ass. I don't really know if I WANT to be a size 10. Really, I don't. I am not aiming for a supermodel size, I feel good. It is a hard call mcgreen.

I might have my band loosened .2cc or so and just see where the weight settles. So for me anything under 180 will feel like goal. But, like Jachut, perhaps, I will just stay at that weight for 6 months and then drop some more. But I am starting to feel mostly done.

So for me, I have just started to adjust my goal, but for the heavier, not the lighter.

thanks for replying :) I'm certain you will reach your goal- whatever that number ends up being! I guess its good to have a general goal and as you get close- adjust based upon how you are looking / feeling? That seems a bit hard to do since when I look in the mirror- I still see 340 lbs. The brain will catch up sooner or later.

Good luck!

      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.
