Thanksgiving Day Challenge



Recommended Posts

Date of surgery: 9/24/12

Surgery weight: 222

Current weight: 202 - in my first stall

Thanksgiving goal: 190

Stall broken! 196.5 - that leaves 6.5 lbs before Thanksgiving. I am starting Zumba this week so hopefully that is acheivable.

I set a fairly ambitious goal of 11 lbs. To meet my challenge I need to lose 6 lbs from now till Thanksgiving, which is 9 days. I may pull off 3, but 9 is not looking possible. A stall didn't help things.

But no matter what, I've lost, which is a win.

I have no idea what rate I will lose weight as I get closer to goal - this may be far too ambitious. But I'm going to go for it!

I am doing my best - not 100% sure I will make it.

Pre-op 260

Challenge start 188

Thanksgiving goal 180

Here goes nothing. I've been all over the place and not following the plan. Mentally I need this challenge to get back on track. Protein first and maybe only for a while and fluids!!! Good luck everyone.

185 today

Pre-surgery Wt: 235.8

Surgery 7/9/12

Weight at Surgery: 208.5

11/1: 166.4 (bouncing around this week)

11/8: 161.2

11/15: 161.4

Challenge Goal: 155

Big loss then hit a wicked stall. But I'm dedicated to the Water, upping the Protein, and maintaining the exercise. I have my 4-month check in today so I'll be looking for some guidance there. I'll get at least close to my goal so I'm headed to the Christmas Challenge to set one there.

Best of luck to all this final week. Gobble gobble!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
