* 7 LBS AWAY FROM HEALTHY BMI *



Recommended Posts

WOW I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAR I'VE COME.

I started my diet journey 5 months ago today.

at my heaviest in the surgeons office I weighed in at 322lbs.

I was admitted to hospital for surgery 256lbs

now I'm 3 months post op and feeling great.

JUST hit 190lbs this morning and also realised I'm just 7lbs away from the top end of a healthy BMI.

I'm doing so well I might even get down to 180lbs yet and that feels amazing.

I've been doing a lot of fasting and that has really helped.

I've also got my new rowing machine and started using it tonight; it is hard work that's for sure 😀

officially lost 132lbs now 😄

I still say RNY BYPASS was the best choice I've ever made and to anyone else looking at bypass don't stress too much I've not had one issue or complication so far!!

THANKS.

MIKE.

Fantastic! I'm really interested in hearing more about the fasting you've been doing, if you don't mind. My weight loss has been average to slow and wonder if fasting might help speed it up, though I feel great and am content with my progress. Congratulations!

Well it's kind of like the 8:16

I consume all my calories over a 6-8hr window then fast for the remaining 16hrs with using just sugar free items or a little coffee here and there :) of course there are variations of fasting out there you can research!

thx

Yeah I'm nearly done with weight loss but I'll still need to spend months at the gym to gain some muscle tone and maybe tone my stomach area :)

      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.
