Hit loss of 40 lbs today - Woo hoo!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi all - I've been struggling with my weight forever, and today I hit 40lbs loss... wow! That's so great for me!! I've never been able to do it before - and it's happened over the course of about 6 months - about 16 lbs before surgery and 24 lbs since surgery!! Slow and steady - and I'm so thrilled. I'm off to go shopping to buy some new skinny jeans!!

Good luck to all of you. I'm still on the journey - but it's happening.

CONGRATS! I hit 40 today too. Don't get me wrong I am excited to hit the 40 lb mark but I am really looking forward to 199 which is now only two pounds away!

Congrats to everyone! I weighed myself this morning and I was 303 lbs. I am 4 pounds away from 299. Yay for me. It will be 2 years since I have been in the 290s.:wink2:

      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.
