Christmas Weightloss Challenge



Recommended Posts

:unsure: I am just going to get this over with now instead of prolonging it until tomorrow. I gained 2lbs. this week. It is the first time in the 8 1/2 months since surgery that I have gained anything. It was just a bad food week. It all started with a nacho craving that I just couldn't get out of my system and I gave in and it got me.

I don't think I'm going to make the goal of 20lbs. by Christmas, but as long as I don't gain anymore, I'll be happy.

Hope everyone else did better than me this week. :willy_nilly:

1 lbs this week, Don't think i'm gonna lose 7 more by Christmas but I'll take what I can get. A loss is a loss and puts me 1 step closer to the big goal, So I'm still happy with it.

Hi Jen,

No weight loss.....happy I did not gain. 3 parties.

Don't think I will make 20, but still going to try for 2 pounds next week. (6 pounds total lost, maybe I can do total 10)

Don't beat yourself up Pappyny it will happen. There was 2 months that I gained the same three lbs over and over but now seem to be heading in the right direction and you will too.

Thank you Rangergirl! I'm trying to just move past it, because the more I think about it, the more I sabatoge myself with food. What's done is done.

Tomorrow is a new day! I can do this. I may not lose 20lbs. by Christmas, but any weight lost is weight that I no longer have to carry around with me.

Thanks again. I really needed that :thumbup:

Sorry to report that I didn't loose any weight this week. I still have 9 lbs to go before Christmas. It doesn't look like I'll make the Christmas goal, but I'm setting a new goal in the Valentine's Challenge.

Also, I had severe "female" problems a few months ago and had a uterine ablation. While I do not have a cycle, my body still goes through the whole PMS/bloating thing. Anyway I am going through it right now so hopefully next week it will be over and I will have a loss again.

Well, gained weight after the Thanksgiving holiday and then lost a couple, finally got my first fill, doesn't feel like I got one. Anyway, through all the ups and downs my total weight loss is now standing at 9. Doesn't look like I'm going to make the 20 pound goal but I now just hope I don't gain with all the upcoming parties....

      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.
