Am I crazy?

In exactly 3 weeks I will have the one-year anniversary of my "re-birth!" I am 10 pounds from my goal of 136 and I SO wanted to reach it by September 20. I woke up this morning with a wild idea. Here it is: Before my surgery my doctor required 3 weeks of a liquid protein diet AND also for 3 weeks after surgery! So I managed to maintain it for 6 weeks! I think I'm going to do another 3 week liquid diet til my anniversary date or at least until I can drop this last 10 pounds. I know it's just a date on the calendar but it's so symbolic to me. I'll make sure I get enough protein and of course my vitamins as always. I do wonder if I have the self discipline to do it again? Am I nuts? XO, Sandy 268/146/136 (So CLOSE yet so FAR!)

No, you're not nuts. I have actually thought about doing the same thing. I only have 13 days now, and I want to be between 130 and 140. I am currently sitting at 152. So, to be able to get to at least 135, I need to lose another 17 lbs. I have lost 107 lbs and my BMI has gone from 44.2 to 26.1. I still have another 5 lbs to make it to a BMI of 25 which puts me in the high normal range. I want to start the reconstructive part now, but I haven't had the energy to start going to all the doctors to start the documentation process. My Gyn, and my doctor who did my surgery have been documenting my files everytime that I have seen them, but I have yet to make an appt. to see my PCP. It is not so much that I don't have the energy, I guess it's dread. Two years ago when I started the process to have the weight loss surgery, I was having to see doctors on a weekly basis to gather enough information to be approved for the surgery, and I know that I basically have to do the same thing for the reconstructive part. My wls surgeon feels that I should start the process and he also feels that if I do it I will lose the additional 17 lbs and be exactly where I want to be. Good Luck Karen 259/152/135
