"Shrinko De Mayo" Weight Loss Challenge



Recommended Posts

You are ALL so motivating!! This morning, after the scale hasn't moved much for the last 6 weeks, I lost 2 more lbs, making a total of 4lbs this week! I'm hoping NOW that my body has figured out it doesn't need all this fat and loves my band as much as I do. I'm SO excited to finally be losing again!!

So far we have committed to a total weight loss of 194lbs! The full weight of ONE obese person, We can do this!!

Anyone else is welcome to join at ANY time!

Count me in! I just want to be out of the 190s and into the 180s by Shrinko de Mayo! I'd like to lose 10 lbs by then, though I'll be happy as long as I lose at least 7!

Count me in too!!!!! I'd like to lose 35lbs by Cinco de mayo. I am so recently banded I'm losing pretty fast and I hope that continues. By that time I should have had my first fill and I will be able to restart my normal workouts. I am currently just walking on the treadmill for 45 min 3-4 times a week.

YAY I'm excited to have a smaller goal to look forward to!

Wow, this is a great idea. by May, 5 I would like to have dropped 15 pounds. I was just banded on the 19th of March and lost about 10 pounds already. So an extra 18 pounds would feel really good!!!! I am so excited:biggrin:

Anybody else wanna join? I'm also thinking of submitting our group into the "Biggest Loser-pound for pound challenge". For every pound you lose, they will donate 10cents to food bank centers of America (which equals 1lb of food). Anyone interested?

      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.
