July 4th Challenge - 120 days



Recommended Posts

For all those that enjoyed the VD goal challenge, here is a longer 120 day challenge. Set a goal for yourself to lose by July 1, 2009. I weigh 340.1 today and my goal will be 30 to 40 pounds for anything for my between 300 and 310.00.

Post your goal, post your progress and stay on thread with your ups (successes) and downs (fallen off point). I will be here for you and you need to be here for me.

Set a goal that is a bit unrealistic yet attainable. Something that will push you to exercise, stay on the food regiment and something that will get you going and stay going.

For me, I haven't been below 300 pounds in over a century so this challenge is huge for me. When I achieve this goal, my first 100 pounds plus will be gone forever and half of my total weight goal done....finished..

Join me as we strive to reach our goals and lose this weight forever!!

peace.................

Well guys, I will be banded on 3/16/09. I just started my pre-op diet today. Since this is a longer challenge, would it be okay if I joined in?

I'm hoping to lose at least 10 lbs on the pre-op and a total of 30 by the end of the challenge.

Ok, I'm in. I also am training to do a triathalon. No, not an ironman, but a begginer sprint. 1/4 mile swim/13mile bike/3 mile run. I'm just looking to finish.

      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.
