2.5 months out, 50lbs gone!



Recommended Posts

By no means am I at goal, but I'd you would have told me on Sept 26th that is be 50lbs lighter before Christmas, I would have told you that you're insane. Yet here i am! I have 60 more to go before I'm at goal, but for the first time in my life, I can see myself getting there. That's a lot to wrap my head around. The lowest weight I ever remember being is 186 in 6th grade.

So pictures are worth 1000 words. The first pic was July 1st, two weeks before my first appt with the surgeon. The second was tonight. post-301190-14812563050883_thumb.jpg post-301190-1481256312131_thumb.jpg

@@melunruh You are doing great!!! Awesome job!! Doesn't it feel amazing? My surgery was May 16th just a little over 6.5 months ago and as of this morning I'm down 99.8 pounds!! just 2.2 pounds away from meeting my goal of 150......I'm hoping to hit my goal by Christmas. What a present that will be!!

So keep doing what you're doing and keep remembering this feeling you have now and use it for motivation on the days when you struggle. Congrats!!!

Thanks everyone! Setting a better example for my daughter is one odd my huge motivating factors! She had started going to see my trainer with me on the weekends and we've signed up for a 5k women's only obstacle course on April 8th. I would have NEVER considered doing that in my past. I'm loving the extra energy I have now. Even my daughter mentored this morning how much happier I am! Ron and autumn, I look forward to keeping up with you two!

      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.
