Hey all....I am posting my second weigh in since coming on board with this Fall Weight Loss Challange. I weighed in today at 223....I believe that is exactly where I was last time. Im telling ya....Plateau city over here. I need a fill....Will be getting it in a week. I dont have a good full body picture to post here. I haven't been able to get a good full body picture up yet. Its not easy to take a full body with a web cam...by your self. My scaner isnt playing nice either. I will get one posted as soon as I can.

Ok, forgot to weigh in last week (Bad Julie) but this week I am down to 309. Never thought I would be happy at a weight over 300, but woohoo - it is a loss!

Okay, so week two with the band means you start to get hungry and 'little bits' of mooshy food don't keep you full......hmmmm.....

So I'm down to 226 this morning and I'm starting to struggle. Those cookie 'chips' look really inviting and I'm here to tell you I have hesitated splurging ONLY because I had to report in today! And a good thing, too. 2 more pounds!! Does anyone have an opinion if it's possible to keep up the 2 pounds a week thing? (Before 1st fill?)

Have a YUMMY week, as I will on cottage cheese and blender soup! ;o)

First of all ~ YAY! :)

I've been averaging 5+ pounds per week since I was banded and I haven't had my first fill yet. I know that won't last, but I'm happy that it's gone on this long! Besides, I think I am loosing more than the average because I am much bigger than the average bandster. Honestly though, I don't care what the reason is, I'm just going to enjoy it while it's happening! :D

I'm weiging in at 347 this morning. That's -3 since I started the challenge last week. (And when I see the doctor on Wednesday it will be the first time I'll be able to weigh on the "regular" scale - which only goes up to 350 - since I can remember!!!!!)

I'm definatley making up for my gain last week. This past week I got a fill, been drinking TONS of Water, and added some jogging to my walks. The result? I weight 246 this morning. That's 7lbs for the week, and 5 for the challenge because of the first week gain. I know it's just extra water weight while my body is adjusting to the extra exercise, but I'll take 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.
