WAY TO GO GEORGIA!!!!!! YOU ARE THE BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am really having a hard time. Don't know what the deal is. I just feel very tired. I really need to detox these carbs. I also am staying nauseated. I shouldn't even entertain the thought, but I have lost 49 pounds. I had a period about 2 months ago, but not since. Since I have PCOS this is not unusual, but with weight loss they usually start back. I hate to even entertain the thought, but I wonder if I could be preggers???? I don't really want to do a test. Those of you with PCOS know how it is to do so many negative pregnancy tests that you just don't ever want to look at another one. I probably just need to quit thinking so much, get off my buttand CUT THE CARBS.

Thanks guys!!

Mia- you will know when I hit Onederland...........everyone will, lol! That will be such a glorious day for me!

Renewed- OMGOSH! Do you really think you could be? I know exactly what you mean about the negative tests. DH and I went years trying to get preggers before I got pregnant with my son. It can be heatbreaking. I hope things get better for you soon and hope you feel better. Whatever happens, just know we are here for you.

I almost bought a test tonight, but did not. We tied for a very long time as well before we got pregnant with our son. Man I don't miss those days. With our adopted son and our foster kids we have 5 kids right now!! OMG!!!! We are not "trying" to get pregnant by ANY means, but we have been practicing more often if you know what I mean. That tends to happen with weight loss. I'm sure I am not!! I am going to really focus on low carb the next few days and see how I feel. I probably just have the sugar blahs. I can't believe I have even entertained the thought of anything else.

It's funny the way our minds can play tricks on us. I know I was feeling awful last week because I had been eating crappy carb food. Not just feeling bad for myself, I was physically feeling bad, crappy if you will. I feel much better since my "sugar detox". Hope you feel better soon!

Hazeleyegrl, you can do it! You only have 1&1/2 pounds to go. Remember what you told me on the last one, weight first thing in the morning, after you pee, and stark naked, lol!

Okay everyone, I know this challenge isn't quite over, but someone needs to take on the next challenge so we can start it as soon as this one is over. It doesn't necessarily have to be centered around a holiday. I personally like the challenges being about a month long. So, if someone could come up with something to start on Tuesday, that would be great!

Any takers?

Congrats Darr! That's wonderful! I was the same this morning, so I'm still just excited that I made it!

Renewed, TOM can make the scales go up, at least for me it does. Thanks for setting up a new challenge!

Hey everyone congrats on your weight loss! I didnt hit my Greenday goal but I did make my 10lbs a month goal. I lost 10lbs on this challenge. Im trying to be okay with that. Unfortunately, my restriction seems to have been fleeting, Im about half as tight as I was 2 weeks ago.

Stats are the same

Starting weight: 284

Current Weight: 274

Green Day Weight: 268

DOWN So Far: 10 lbs

      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.
