Weight lost? - Formula



Recommended Posts

Sure: I've done it since before surgery and lost 26 pounds pre-op. I've followed the plan since surgery to speed the loss along and not have to think, "What am I going to eat today and how many calories is that?"

I'm basically lazy and want it measured out for me. Medifast meals are 110 cal. each, no matter what the meal is. Their plan is 5 of their meals throughout the day and a lean/green dinner portioned out to how you can handle it. This was pretty easy to follow before surgery and even easier after. I'll keep doing it until I reach goal and then do a maintenance. It's not that there's anything special or magical about the food, it's just a plan that's easy for me. The total calories, Protein and carbs is all worked out so that's the easy part. You could also do other plans, but I found for instance, Jenny Craig, has more calories, etc., so I just stick with Medifast. You can order online and they ship to you; what could be easier?

AJW, can you tell me more about how you're using Medifast? Have you done that since surgery?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
