I need to lost 20lbs in 3 weeks



Recommended Posts

Had surgery December 30th and I lost a total of 23 lbs in the month of January. I am now 189. I know I won't lose a lot because I was never huge according to my doc. Anyways I have a bridal shower on the 23rd of February and I just ordered my favorite dress online in size LARGE since that was the biggest size they had. I work out at the gym 3 times a week since I work full time and go to school full time. I do wake up early like 5am every day so I thought I can do some DVD workouts at home on Monday to Friday. I really need to lose 20lbs because I am scared my dress won't fit. I eat very healthy so hopefully I'll be able to do it :/ so nervous and this will be a huge party. Wish me luck

Don't put too much stress on yourself..going to school and working full time seems like a very hectic schedule, plus upping your exercise routine. . U may have lost more inches than u realize. Fingers crossed.

No my waist is still 46in I did lose my bra size from 40-36.. I need to lose some weight from my tummy because the dress is fitted and don't want to look like a prego girl haha.

Yes I always tend to keep my plate full. I have to workout more. I walk for an hour during my lunch Monday to Friday and gym Friday to Sunday but now I want to add DVD workout at 5am for Monday to Friday

I've lost 73 pounds and I still carry the pregnant tummy look. Granted its smaller becuase I've lost so much weight..but its still there under all my clothes.

I know that a couple of the vets have stated that the biggest part of you is always the last to go down.

Keep working it honey....you sound like youre pretty determined so I'm guessing you'll be close. Maybe wear some Spanx under the dress if its close?

      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.

      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!
