I've hit the 50 lb mark!



Recommended Posts

I am so pumped! I decided not to focus on the numbers so I have not been weighing except when I go to the doctor. But I was struggling with wanting to "graze" and decided I needed a boost so I went to the Wellness Center and weighed before my workout this morning. I can't believe I have actually lost 50 lbs. And it feels wonderful to know that the next 50 is to follow! This is absolutely the best thing I have ever done for myself!:bounce:

Lorid, This is great! I just love all these success stories! 50 lbs! I feel good just thinking about how fabulous you must be feeling. Thanks for sharing your accomplishment with us. How would you rate on a scale one to 10 the difficulty on getting used to eating less and making the right choices of food? What do you think is helping you stay under control?

On a scale of 1-10........100! If I could have had this feeling of being full before surgery I would not be morbidly obese! It is SO much easier to push away when I feel satisfied...um...and it helps to remember that if I eat beyond satisfied I will suffer! :) Had a stomach bug this past week and got out of my normal routine and fell into the habit of grazing. On the third day I just left the house to get away from the kitchen and went to the Wellness Center and worked out on the precor! It really did help me regain my focus. Seems the more I lose the more motivated I am to stick to it! Don't always eat perfectly--today we went to the football game and I caved in and had a piece of cake! But I didn't let it throw me. Before I would have eaten 2 or 3 pieces! It is still not easy, but I am determined. It is a choice EVERY time I go to put anything in my mouth.

Hit my 50 mark too and boy is that encouraging! The most I had ever lost in my LIFE was 30 pounds (and I STARVED myself for three months...that was back when I was very young) and within a year I had put it back on. This loss feels different. It feels good. It feels permanent. It feels possible.

      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?

      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.
