Weightloss Challenge



Recommended Posts

ok this the thing. Someone did a weightloss chanellenge for xmas i miss that one would have loved to do it. When i saw it i thought what a great idea (thanks Fluffy Jen) i would love to start a chanellenge for Valentine's Day I want to lose abt 40lbs by then that would get me out the 200+ lbs weight and help me stay motivated to lose this weigth if i had sum others doing with me. my husband is deployed and coming home this spring or summer for 2wks, i really would love to have been lost almost everything i need to lose by the time he makes it here. Is there anyone interested in doing this with me we can keep each other on the right track. Right now im weighing in @ 227 with the challenge that would weight me in @187 by Valentine Day.:thumbup: i'm so excited i have seen 100 anything on the scale for me in yrs.

aslimmerme count me in. I'm doing the xmas challenge but having another one to continue with would be great. I'm currently at 211 and I would like to lose 20 lbs by valentines day. Which would put me below the 200's as well. I'd love to see that on the scale.< /p>

aslimmerme do you want to just go join the Valentines Weightloss Challenge or keep this string going? I'm open to either. I think we should check in at a minimum once a weeks lets say on Mondays.

Below is the link to the Valentines Weightloss Challenge.

I would like to start the Valentine challenge. I was in the christmas one and it helped me lose 9lbs, I did'nt reach my goal, but I lost weight every week. I would like to lose 16lbs by 2/14/10. That would make my weight 189 which means I lost 100lbs. I will check in every Monday, good luck to everyone

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
