June to Labor Day Challenge



Recommended Posts

It's Monday again, so here I am. This week just flew by, but not a suprise since it was a short work week. Although there has no change in my weight I do have some NSV to report.

I was at a couple of parties this weekend and had a really good time. Alot of people have notice my weight loss and were saying how great I looked. Having never been one who receives alot of attention, this new amount of attention was kind of overwhelming. I mean I thanked everyone, but I felt like poeple expected me to have more self eestem or something. Before, when I was heavier, I was really shy...now I feel like people want me to me more out going (which I'd like to be) but I feel like I'm just not used to it. And I know I shouldn't care about what other people think, but its hard.

Also this morning I went for a walk. And since I've been trying to add in more running, I tired running for a little bit longer and finally was able to!

So the moral of my story is, try not focus so much on the weight loss this week and think about all the great new things I'm finally able to do.

That's great, Liz!! I am so excited for you!

I am learning to appreciate the NSVs. I traveled this weekend for the first time since surgery. I was COMFORTABLE in the seat on the airplane, CINCHING my belts on both flights, and generally not self conscious about how I looked or how uncomfortable I was (or made a seat mate). It's great!!

I love hearing about your NSV. I find that I am more inspired by those than the numbers we report. Don't get me wrong, when I weigh myself tomorrow morning I hope to see myself in the 250s (not since.... gods, 10 years ago???), but I am so high on feeling and looking better and these NSVs, I am driven by everyone else's to go for those feelings.

Maybe I am rambling a bit; I am exhausted. But thank you again for sharing. You're awesome!

Hey, Liz & Felicia!! Congratulations! I had a great weekend, and though I am not much for getting on the scale - I was 231 today! I have really been pushing the treadmill because in the end, the exercise will be the critical difference.

NSVs:thumbup:: I have so many. First, I am off one blood pressure med (one to go); Dr wanted to take me off insulin last week, but I want to wait until I am on the regular foods for a month or so; No more swollen ankles and legs...I have ankle bones!! (everyone who knows me knows about my ankles). I am cured of my sleep apnea (probably the hiatal hernia repair), but it still counts for me; I have energy. Right before the surgery, I honestly could not walk one block without stopping. I am off Hormone replacement therapy - seems I am always cold now; My wedding ring is loose and well, I am just happy. No one has noticed my weight loss and I don't see a lot of difference in my clothes, but that will come....

Have a good week!

      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.
