40 LBS GONE!!!


Recommended Posts

I hit the 40 lbs mark this morning, whoot hooo!!! And even after a week's vacation!!

The best things about losing 40 lbs:

1) Walking from the cottage to the pool this year and not being winded.

2) Struggling to keep my bathing suit on (now too big).

3) Being able to wear a bathingsuit wrap instead of shorts and walking comfortably without getting rub rash.

4) Fitting comfortably in the lounge chairs at the pool and not struggling to get in them.

5) Starting to feel like me, not a "fat" person.

Thanks to everyone who helped me reach this mini-milestone, I couldn't have done it without all of your support!!! Here's and cheers to the next 40 lbs coming off!!!

I am in the process of booking my surgery.. I am the same size as you cand can't wait to reach a goal like you are... how hard has it been? What is the hardest part? The easiest part? How much weight do you lose a week average? Did you change your exercise habits as well?

THANKS

Hi there, the hardest part was the pre-op diet, drinking 4 shakes per day that tasted like crap. I was banded in Canada, so the pre-op diet was different than they put you on for surgery at the OCC. Once I had surgery, the post-op diet was manageable. I was on clear liquids for 4 days then creamy soup stage for 2 weeks and then mushy foods for two weeks, again, a different plan than the OCC. I lost 12 lbs pre-op and not sure how many post-op, close to 20 lbs I believe and now I had finally hit the 40 lbs gone mark, I have a long way to go but I am more than 1/4 way there in just 3 months!!

You have made a wise decision, one of the best things I have ever done, it's a lifestyle change, but so worth it. I do exercise using my gazelle and leg magic machines and of course walking and did some swimming (or lounging in the pool) while on vacation last week. I need to step it up a bit to increase my muscle mass and avoid loose skin.

Let us know when your date is set and best of luck, if you need anything at all, we are all here for you!!
