is anyone at goal



Recommended Posts

I cant believe that it is nearly a year since banding, which for me it will be on the 22 feb. I have 1 kg to goal and I would have lost 23 kgs gone from 90kg to 67kg which is the doc goal but I would like to lose another 5 kg in the coming year and keep it off. I would have to say that it wasnt an easy year but a very challenging and rewarding one for me all my health issues are nearly all resolved and I have never felt better. I hope that your journey has also been rewarding. all the success to you all this coming year. talk soon.

Not me. I had quite a ways to go though. Very, very happy being halfway there. It was expected to take a couple of years from the start so I'm right on track.

Aggie and Tap - you're both doing fantastic. I'm envious of you both.

Anna - over 1/2 way - that's great! Maybe by the next bandiversary, and as it isn't a race, it will be great whenever we all reach our goals!

Well I still need to lose 98 Lbs or something like that but hey, I plan to get to goal by the time this year is up - maybe sooner. It can be done. Those darn people on Biggest Loser lose twice as much as that in six months!

Gah. :cursing:

I'll get there...

Gah. :lol:

Those people on TBL also workout with a trainer for HOURS (even more than you :cursing:) every single day; have portioned food, don't have to work, and are (in essence) quarantined...nothing bad in/controlled environment.

Your weight loss, attitude, and exercise regime are impressive; you WILL get there!

Ah, thanks :laugh:

I meant that mostly in a joking way, but I seriously would like to be at goal by Dec. 31st. That's less than 10 lbs. per month - I hope I can do it!

If not, well hey... anything to keep me reaching for it.

      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.
