Onederland I've made it!!!



Recommended Posts

This morning I hit onederland! I've been in the 200's for so long and at the highest 290!

This morning I was hesitant to get on the scale... my period had begun so I knew I'd still be around the 200 mark, but not below it! How wrong was I :smile2:

I was happy when the scale said I was 289.9!!! I about cried...

This is definatley a success for me!

My wieght hasn't come off as fast as some people, but it's perfect for me :wink2: I'm so very happy :lol:

Congratulations! That is incredible news! What a great gift for the holidays.

You mentioned that your weight loss is slow, but just perfect for you. What an important lesson. Those of us with bands usually have slow weight loss - especially if we compare ourselves to bypass patients, but we learn how to use the tool along the way, and can achieve, lasting sucess. (see my success story 3 1/2 years...). It's not about rapid weight loss, it's about achieving and maintaining a healty weight for the rest of our lives!

You go girl!:thumbup:

Sending holiday cheer your way.

Congratulations on your weight loss. I had struggled to get into onderland as well for almost a year but all of a sudden the weight came off.

I had not been under 200 for over 25 years and was beginning to think I would never make it.

Congratulations! It's such a great feeling to finally be in the 100's. I cried like a baby, full sobs, when my scale showed 199 for the first time.

Keep up the good work!

I love the term Onederland!! I have been in the higher 200's for all of my late teen and adult life! I am going thru the insurance approval process now and can't wait to have the band. I am nervous about it, but also so excited! Thanks for the inspiring post!

You are not alone, you are doing it slowly, so am I. I am 14 lbs from being under 200 so can not wait to get on the scale and see 199 or less, I wish it was coming off faster but it is coming off. :smile2:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
