Half way to Goal Hell Yeah



Recommended Posts

We as of today's visit to the Dr Office I am halfway to my goal. So I started at 330 pounds on January 11th, and today I was at 265. 65 pounds in just under six months. I actually went in for a small un-fill because I am leaving on a 14 day Alaskan trip and I wanted to be able to eat a little bit. I almost kissed the nurse who was weighing me in. Boy that would have been a awkward moment.

You know there have been many times I have felt like a complete failure, and so frustrated because I work so hard at times, and sabotage myself at others. Lately I especially felt like the scales were not moving at all. But when I got on the scale and realized I had lost 20 pounds since May 14th I finally felt like i really could succeed.

I reached halfway too a few days ago and it is an indescribable feeling. I had high hopes for the Band (and myself) when I started this journey, but now I think I finally believe that I will reach my goal.

Congrats!!! Looking forward to seeing you, and all of the New Year's Knockouts, at the finish line.

Congrats-- good job! I still have a ways to go to get to the half-way point, but I feel like it's in sight. Have fun on vacation. We went in early June and those "liquid calories" really are a hindrance, but in the past I would have gained 10 pounds and this year I pretty much stayed the same.

That is awesome! I am certain the nurse gets that a lot, being that she weights people in who are losing weight!

      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.
