80 pounds down at today’s weigh in!



Recommended Posts

So I weighed in today at the gym & I’m down 80 pounds so far. I’m quite please but I still have a long way to go. I’ve lost body fat & gained muscle mass which totally ROCKS as it was a big concern for me. I’m doing 50 minutes of high heart rate cardio 5-6 times a week & weights twice a week. I feel like I eat more than I should at times but I can’t argue with my results so far. I also have been eating lean Protein with fruits and veggies almost exclusively. My 3 month appointment is on the 4th of May which is actually 3 1/2 months. So far so good!

So do I. Congrats man!! I especially like this story because we are the same height. Currently I'm about 20lbs heavier than you were at your heaviest but should be down to that by date of surgery. Good luck on your journey, I look forward to following your success.

The gym has been good & intensity is increasing nicely. My biggest fear is an injury so I’m being very careful so as not to have any setbacks.

      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.
