FINALLY... hit my 40 pound loss mark!



Recommended Posts

I’ve lost 40 pounds since I started my weight loss journey 3 weeks before surgery. Have lost 26 pounds since surgery, which was 9/11/17. I knew I’d be one of those slow losers, because no matter how hard I’ve tried to lose weight, it has always been a struggle. It may be slow, and it sure isn’t easy, but I’m doing it! :)

Wow! You don’t sound like a slow loser at all! That’s a very good amount of weight to lose in less than a month. How long would it take to lose that without surgery?

I’m only 3 days down but can’t wait to see the difference. How are your clothes feeling? Have you gone down in size yet?

I had my surgery on 8/29 also and hit my 40lb loss as well. It doesn't seem like much compared to others but for me it's a ton.

It’s 40 pounds in almost 4 months, not one month. I started dieting on Aug. 15th, and had lost 14 pounds pre-op, and then lost the 26 post op since 9/11/17, for a total of 40 pounds lost. Yes, I have gone down in jeans from a size 16 to a 10. I can get into my size 8s, but still wear my 10 and 12s for comfort. Also have dropped in size in tops from a 2X to a large, which is still comfortable, and not tight at all.:) And is met a nice guy, that I had my first date with tonight and all went great! A real gentleman, and we have lots in common. :)

      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.
