July 4Th Challenge



Recommended Posts

I'm not sure who normally starts these challenges so if I am stepping on toes, sorry! I was just anxious to get it started.

Now that the Memorial Day Challenge is officially over, who wants to join me in the July 4th Challenge? We have a little over 5 weeks in this challenge so I will make two goals:

1. Get to Onederland

2. Lose 11 lbs

My starting weight for this challenge is 201 lbs. Good Luck to everyone!

I've never participated in a challenge because I was worried about putting too much pressure on myself while newly sleeved. But I'm down this time - count me in!

Surgery Weight - 403

Current Weight - 332

July 4th Goal - 318 (14 lbs - YIKES!)

Losing 14 will put me at 85 lost before my 6 month surgiversary.

Good luck to all!! WE GOT THIS!!!

Okay, Im in! With ony 5 weeks to do this, I am going to be realistic. I am losing 4-5 pounds a month now so I will make my goal 5 pounds. I am now 146.9 (147) so I will go for 141.9 (142).

@jhansen71~ Anybody can start a challenge! I started the last three for the same reason! I am glad you took the initiative to start this one! We are all family here and excited to get going on another challenge! PS. ask strongerdiva to pin it for us and she will. That way it wont get lost in the treads!

I'm in! I'm currently at 178. I hope to lose at a rate of about 2 pounds per week so I'll shoot for a 10 pound weight loss.

GOAL WEIGHT 168

I'm right on track. 2pound loss puts me at 176. 8 more to go!

I'll take the challenge. I weigh 183 today, down from 370. I would like to get to 170 by July 4. That would be an even 200lbs lost. That is a little over 2lbs a week. We will see, things are slowing a bit lately.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
