Thursday Update - Valentine Day Challenge



Recommended Posts

I thought since we all check in on the Friday WI thread, I would use Thursday for our Challenge.

I got a fill yesterday and boy do I notice it! I did my liquids yesterday and did get a work out in. I am having a bit of a hard time drinking my coffee this am. Hopefully I am not too tight!

Let me know where you are at today and I will continue to update our losses.

Gilta, I'll have to get you a weight tomorrow. I actually didn't get on the scale this AM! (Miracle!) Day got thrown off by having to get up early to take DH to work. UGH!

I also wasn't sure what day we were going to do a WI. I'd thought maybe Saturdays b/c that's V-day. BUT now that I know it's Thursdays, I'll pay more attention! LOL!

Thanks, Gilta!! And I'll check in with you tomorrow!

Because I'm in Australia, it's actually already Friday for me here. So my weight for the challenge and the Friday morning WIs will be the same anyway. :)

Start of challenge 77.2kg (thanks to putting on 0.7kgs over Christmas)

Today 76.7 kgs (168.7lbs).

Loss so far: about 1 pound.

Hi gilta. I normally dont weigh in until Sundays @ 6am but now that I know that Thursdays will be our WI day, that works for me. Actually I weighed this morning and I weighed 166.8. I plan to be 155 by Valentines day. That means I need to loose around 2 lbs a week to reach this goal. Wish me luck.

My "official" WI is every Friday morning, so I'll post my weight tomorrow. I'd rather just stick to my one weigh-day. :)

Hi All,

It looks like doing a Thursday WI confused everyone. Sorry! I weigh myself every morning, so (wrongfully so) assumed everyone else did!

I will post a new thread every Thursday am and you can just post your loss whenever your WI is. I will make sure I capture it for you before I post the next thread.

Let's keep it going!

Don't worry about it! No big deal! And I normally weigh every AM but my official is Friday.

So. This AM.

Start 191.2

Finish 191.1

UGH! A whole OUNCE!

I had a fill on Tuesday and haven't eaten much since then. Apparently, my body doesn't like that!

I'll try again next week.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
