Finally under 300lbs again!



Recommended Posts

Celebrating my first mini victory. Stepped on the scale this morning and finally broke out of the threes. Weighed in at 299.6. Haven't been under 300 in at least 5 years. My weight has always been a roller coaster but when I crossed back over 300 years ago it was really depressing for me.

When I first started this journey in May 2016 I climbed back up to 354 lbs. I'm only 3 weeks post-op as of tomorrow, and despite having a bumpy journey the first two weeks I'm so thrilled to see the progress. I've lost 18 lbs since surgery and a total of 36 lbs since starting the two week pre-op diet. I'll take a 36 lb loss in 5 weeks!

Long way to go yet but excited for the rest of the journey! :D

Thanks! It's been a rough ride at times but today was one of those days where it felt like it's all been worth it. This is my first of hopefully many more milestones to reach :D

Orionburn, Congrats!!! Way to go. Keep it up and drink Water, eat Protein and walk walk walk. I just had my one year anniversary and it was the BEST thing I have ever done for myself. One year out I'm passed my goal. I run 4 miles a day now and have more energy then ever. YOU can do this and I promise it is worth it. Keep up the good work!!!

      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.
