Halfway there!



Recommended Posts

Five months and 66 lb. later I am finally halfway there. Fourteen more pounds and I am in ONEderland. It is really exciting to start to feel like 'me' again. Thank God for the band! I can't imagine how I would feel or where I would be without it.

Now my new goal is to really focus on exercise. The weather is finally starting to warm up and the best exercise for me is outdoor walking. A friend at work joined Curves and as part of a promo got me two weeks free, which I start tomorrow.

Now that I have about 60 lbs. left I wonder if I can make it by my one year bandiversary, which is Nov. 1st 2008?

Starryeyed, Congratulations! I've been working to get to my mid-way point as well. I'm almost there. I'm like you about the outdoor walking. I started mine Tuesday.

Give yourself a pat on the back, you've done a great job!

Exercising will give you an extra boost, you'll see.

Thank you all for your words of encouragement! They mean a lot! I did my third session at Curves today and I have really been enjoying it. I think it's a great addition to my outdoor cardio.

      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.
