A thread for those quickly approaching onederland
RDMurphy replied to LapNYC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Last Monday I weighed in at 214 (down 80) and I won't weigh myself until next Monday...I've been doing the Insanity workouts so I'm itching to see how much progress I've made in these two weeks, I'm SO anxious to be in onederland...I haven't been there since............ -
Hey all! I started the Insanity workouts on Monday of this week...and I must say...it is an all-inclusive ass kicking =) But it feels sooo good! How is everyone else doing?

Thanks everyone for helping me get to ONEderland!

Congratulations!!!! I know you are feeling so good about your journey right now!! I can't wait to hit ONEderland...I'm 15 lbs away as well @barbie! Let's go! Almost there!!! -
LOL @ experimenting with it...trust me...I still experiment with mine 9 months later! LOL!
Yeah, the water is the tough one with me...but the crystal light and ocean spray powders are GREAT LOL!
I'm always here to encourage you if you need/want it!
We're all in this process together!! I wish you the best of success!!

Okay, you've been banded about two months now, how comfortable now are you with your band? How much are you exercising? How much protein are you getting in daily? Annnd most importantly how much water are you drinking?
All of these things really play a huge role in your weightloss, trust me, I learned that first hand. I'm at a standstill right now at -80 and I know it's because I've been slacking on everything I've asked you above...

Alright! I can dig it! I'm trying to catch my second wind right now...I had become overly obsessed with losing weight...so for this week I've just been taking it easy and trying not to focus on working out and calories and etc, etc. I want to lose 30 more lbs so I plan on kicking back into action after this weekend...LOL...just needed some down time!

What do you normally have for breakfast?
RDMurphy replied to gingerjane's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've been doing the Low-Carb Slim Fast shakes (they have more protein (20grams) than the "high proten" Slim Fast shakes (15 grams)...whaaa?) and that usually holds me over till late morning as well. -
Good morning, I got a fill yesterday and I'm doing the liquid diet afterwards now and I'm not sure if I'm too tight. I haven't been pb/sliming or throwing anything back up...but it just feels like the Water and Protein shakes are going down reaaaaally slowly. Maybe I'm just psyching myself out since I'm not having any of the usual tightness symptoms...I'm just worried about when I move to solids if it's going to be a problem. Those who have been too tight before, what did it feel like initially? I appreciate your responses! :ohmy:
-
Thank you all for your responses!! Everything seems okay so far, I've been taking it sloooow on adding solids, I'm still on liquids/mushies...nothing has gotten stuck but it still feels a little tight for me...as I've learned on this journey: BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY! LOL! I'll probably try solids beginning of next week...maybe...if I feel like living life on the wild side Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Going back to work after surgery?
RDMurphy replied to mscafe32's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I took a week off of work, but even my first day back at work...just getting myself ready (shower, ironing clothes, etc) WORE ME OUT. The advantage I did have was that I sit at my desk for most of the day...but anytime I had to get up and move around...I was plum TIRED! You might not be in too bad of shape going back so soon...if you can just fight the urge to pass out =)
