"Shrinko De Mayo" Weight Loss Challenge



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I decided to start a new weight loss challenge for May 5th since the current "April Fools" weight loss challenge is less than 2 weeks away (seriously, where did March go? Anyone? :tt2:)

Please post here what weight loss you would like to achieve by May 5, 2009 (approx. 6 weeks from the date of this post). On average, Bandsters lose 1-2 lbs per week, but base your goal personally.

I love being motivated, so let's start the Summer off with a bang and a heckuva lot less fat!!

I would like to lose 15lbs by May. That way, hopefully at my daughters 5 birthday party on the 2nd, people will be able to tell that I have lost some weight.

I would like to lose 15 lbs by May. We have a reunion for my mother's birthday on the 16th and I'd really like to see a loss by then. I was banded Feb 20th and the weight loss is really so slow for me. This would be a motivation (I hope).

I'm in. The timing for this works out perfectly since my son makes his First Holy Communion on May 2 and I would love to lose 12 lbs before then.

I would love to complete the Shrinko de mayo challenge. My goal is to lose 15 lbs. by May 5th. Currently, I weigh approximately 195 lbs., so that would put me in the 180's.

Thanks for starting this challenge.

I want to be 180 on my birthday which is June 12th. So I am 193 right now and my goal is 185 by May 5th. That would leave me a month to get that final 5 pounds by my birthday.

      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.
