How much do you have to lose?



Recommended Posts

Just curious where we are all at.

From start to goal is a 180lb journey for me. I have broken it down into smaller goals for myself, so I don't get so overwhelmed. I am hoping to be at goal number 1 by Christmas, which is to be 199lbs. I am now 106lbs away from that goal.

I was banded April 3rd and have lost 40 lbs. I've been in bandster hell and am looking forward to my fill next week. I've plateaued and need some help since I am so hungry all of the time.

I gained over 40 pounds after I quit smoking and found out I have MS, which makes exercise darn-near impossible. So, I decided to do something about it and my goal is to get to 140 ultimately but I'll be quite happy at 150. I know I'll never get to 128 like I was at in the not so distant distant past.

Hi,

Well my starting weight was 292 (4/17/08) and i'd like to ideally get down to 130ish (we'll see if i adjust that later on). I'm at about 140ish lbs to lose. My first self goal is to get down to 100lbs from goal weight...so i have about 40ish lbs to go (seems much more attainable).

I want to reach the top of my weight range, which is 100 lbs from my original weight before the 6 mo dr supervised weight loss. I have another 69 lbs to go as of this morning!

      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.
