Freedom Fighters Weekly Weigh In



Recommended Posts

all you have to do is ((weight lost / previous weight) * 100)

so 15/330*100= 4.5%

but that 2nd calculator works just as well.

Hello fellow Michigander!! :)

just tough through it. It WILL pass. For me that was breaking alot of the emotional attachment to food.. moving to foods with more substance helped greatly (mashed potatoes were a big help personally). I moved onto soft foods this week, and I am very happy with eating soft cereals, flaky fish, string cheese, etc.. It will pass.. just be tough and Know you're doing this to give yourself a better life. If you're in a pinch, post here.. there's usually someone on to give a few words of advice!

Thanks so much Joe - I appreciate the support. :)

Wow! Looks like y'all lost lots of weight. Not so much here. Last week I was at 214, today, 212.5. Makes me sad. Total weight loss so far: 21 pounds. Surgery Date: 7/7. I'm still doing all I'm supposed to be doing, but I will just keep remembering that I am healing & I must keep on keeping on.

Y'all keep up the good work!

      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.
