Starting the holiday detox early, anyone wanna join me?



Recommended Posts

My surgeon actually told me a story about one of his male patients that refused to weigh in with clothes on.

They finally had to move the scales into the patient room when he comes to weigh LOFL

The last time I went to get a fill, I said it sure would be nice to weigh naked, and the assistant said, many people do. So, I dropped my drawers and was sitting in my undies when the doc came in.

Well, I have two "official" weights - what I weigh at the doctor's office (clothed but shoeless) and what I weigh at home (nekkid, on Friday mornings after ...umm....elimination). I don't worry about the difference.

My doctor's office subtracts 2 pounds for clothes automatically. Good morning everyone!

I haven't had a chance to read all of the replies, but I'm with ya! I slid a little bit over the holidays, but I went to the store yesterday and got some Carnation Instant Breakfast and loaded up on Lean Cuisines! They have a really good price at Kroger right now. I am so ready to get my butt back in gear.

Things are going great! I'm not doing the detox exactly, but I've kicked myself back onto plan. As of today I've lost the 3.2 pounds I put on during Christmas (and even more than that if I measure from last Saturday's horrible numbers on the scale - but I didn't write those down and consider them a bad dream lol).

Keep up the great work everyone! Here's to a slim and trim 2009!

But I am curious to see if the amounts of food I can eat change at all. I was dealing with a fill I thought might be too tight since september then it's slowly loosened the last month and I feel like I might be eating too much now.

i've confirmed i don't need a fill yesterday. my food portions were much less, and even after doing an hr of cardio - i didn't have my normal 2 Snacks a day. good sign.

8_6_49.gif 8_6_47.gif 8_6_50.gif Well yesterday was my last day of the 5 day p.t. Official weight loss this morning was 6 lbs. YAY!!!! I am so happy. I will definitely use this when I plateau. I think it would be great then.What a new year this is going to be. My goal is that I will be down 80-100 lbs. by bandiversary! Which is totally do-able. I made a NYs resolution years ago not to make any more NYs resolutions, but this yr. I am. I am going to exercise on a regular basis instead of haphazardly.

How is everyone else doing? Great I hope.

Oh WOW, g4e, that is FANTASTIC!!!!

You updated your ticker with the new loss, right?? :wink2:

I can hardly wait for my bandiversary so I can see how far I have come. I'm very excited now that I'm no the "weight loss" portion of my banding.

Ticker's are supposed to reflect your weight loss? Damn missed the boat on that one (I took mine down because it lied all the time!)

Contrats g4e...My "official" start date is tomorrow...liquid hell (sigh)...can't wait!

Heck, I even changed mine! The one I had only reflected whole pounds, and dammit, I want those halves and partial pounds to count too. :laugh:

Yes updated ticker first thing. Called my sister and bragged a little while ago. It feels good bragging to her. I am so close to 50 lbs lost. I really can't tell much of a difference at times. Then other times it is like Oh My Gosh! The pics at Christmas made me look fatter than when I first started 46 lbs ago. Income tax time I have to get some new over the shoulder boulder holders:smile:. Mine are getting to big. This time I will get professionally fitted. cups are really getting big. I don't want to lose anymore there. A "c" is a good size. But who knows if I get proper fit and hold....

      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.
