  1. 1. 5 Month Percentage of Total Weight Loss



Recommended Posts

Here is a new poll suggested by Katiebug - with instructions!

Weight Loss Percentage Formula:

Divide the weight loss by the starting weight and multiply the answer by 100.

Ex: Starting weight = 200, pounds lost = 5

5/200 = .025

.025*100 = 2.5%

Hi all Merry Losers!!!

Well today is my 5 month anniversary. I'm down 51 lbs and doing great. If I did it correctly, I'm 23% down. :lol: I had a little unfill a couple of weeks ago and I was afraid I would start eating and gaining...but not the case. I'm eating more but still loosing. :thumbup:

My older son got married Sat nite and all went well. Some people I haven't seen since surgery could not believe the change. I've been getting emails all morning commenting on the wedding and about how good I looked. This is a strange turn of events. I don't know about you, but I'm not used to getting compliments on my looks. My cooking yes!!!! ahahah I'm finally starting to see some difference, especially dressed. ahahah Undressed, I look like the Saggy, Baggy, Elephant.:eek:

I'll post pictures as soon as I get some back.:unsure:

I am only at slightly over 4 months and I am at 20.4%. That is 225 start less 179 current divided by 225 if I did it correctly.

I did not answer the poll yet but will in a couple of weeks once I see where I am at. I feel really good about my weight loss so far :0).

oops! I entered that I had lost almost half of what my total loss will be, and didn't do the correct calculation....I will do the poll again - is there any way I can remove my vote from the incorrect choice? Thanks!

      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.
