Changing my approach



Recommended Posts

I have had enough of being in plateau mode, so I am going to change my mode of attack!

I have been using the weight the surgeon's office has measured me at, but because I am not seeing them for another 7 weeks and I like to know my weight (OK call me anal!) I am going to weigh myself from home.

I have decided that each saturday morning, when I get naked and haven't had Breakfast, I am going to weigh myself. Then it will be consistent (at least it sounds good - might not work in my favour thour!) and monitor it from there. When I was weighed at the surgeon's office, it was always in the afternoon and always fully clothed!

So, here's my last plateau post, the next one here will be my new weight which indicates a 1.2kg loss! I love it already!

Now this a complete fluke, but I have just realised, that I have broken through the 1/2 way barrier! Wahoo.:biggrin2:

That's awesome! I'm 4.5 pounds away, myself.

I weigh myself every day. It helps me stay on track. So far I'm not getting obsessive about it. If I do, then I'll cut back. :P

Ha...I don't know if my new digital scales are working properly but last night before bed I weighed in and it was my lowest yet 83.7kg. Then this morning I weighed again (same pj's) and I weighed in at 84.4kg.

I think I am just frustrating myself! :confused_smile:

I weigh myself nearly every day before I get dressed. I only count as "official", the weekly weigh in at Curves. I go every Friday or Saturday morning before I eat anything and weigh on their scale. It keeps me honest. I have a tendency to look at my scale and say "oh well" if it doesn't say what I want. I write the Curves weight in my book and keep track.

      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.
