Recommended Posts

hey all .. glad to see this thread.. ive been debating this issue myself.. ive lost 220 lbs so far.. weighing in at 190. really never saw myself this small before.. i mean i weighed over 200lbs at age 9 .. so this is the smallest ive ever been .. my doc is really talking about me getting 160 or less.. frankly.. im content if i could have my skin removal surgery.. thats the only thing that makes me unhappy.. but part of me is still fighting to get to 160 before i have the surgery.. im 5ft7 and very muscular.. i guess part of me figures.. ive lost 220 already .. why not another 30.... how do u know what size is right for u.. if youve never been there?

12!

Every pound counts right? I am at the point now, where if I don't exercise, no matter how little I eat, I do not lose.

So I am at the gym and/or walking with my buddy every single day this week. I can do this.

HOW IS EVERYONE ELSE DOING?

I have been saying from time to time that deep inside, I don't believe I will ever get to my goal of 175. This morning, I got a little butterfly in my stomach that believed that I would. And soon.

As I count down, I am becoming a believer. This just thrills me to no end. Life with the band is beautiful.:faint:

Just had to say something.

I FEEL SO FRIGGEN AWESOME!

I love getting dressed in bright colours, form fitting clothes and I love feeling beautiful. Yesterday I got some new make-up, bought a bright PINK sweatshirt and put on my skinny jeans, now too big. I am on my way out the door and I feel so alive.

Hope you are feeling awesome too!

The banded life is great!

My new pink sweatshirt and these were my goal jeans. I still have a teense of a muffin top, but I feel really great in this outfit. Haven't worn pink since I was 10.

But wanted to share. I am 11 pounds from goal.

Tonks, it's when some, uhh... flesh... spills over the edges of your pants, much like a muffin does over the edge of the paper cup! hehe

jajajajajajaja, Ok, I see.... then I have a bit of a muffin top too!

Wow Argon..........ONly 6 !!!! That is just great!!!!!!!

I would like to upload some pics.... but I really don't know how to place pictures in here.

I only had to lose like 100 pounds, (I'm 17 away from my goal) and I must say my belly has been very decent..... so much, that I don't think I need surgery fro that part of my body.... but my arms, well that's a different story.

      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.
