A thread for those quickly approaching onederland



Recommended Posts

I weighed 210.8 this morning and I'm DYING to kiss that 200 goodbye on the scale. Once the kids are in camp I'll be able to pick up my exercise and then, hopefully, onederland here I come! It makes me want to come up with a fake illness so that I can step on a scale at the doctor's office and take that big clunker on the bottom from the 200 to the 150 mark.

Who else is anxiously awaiting and close to this milestone?

Hey, I am right there with you. I weighed in 208 this morning. My half-way point is 198, which is also in onederland. I can't wait to get there!

I weighed in at 215 this morning and have begun to think about how it will feel to be under 200. It's been 10 years since I was. It is almost unimaginable. I find myself dropping sizes faster now. I am more than half way to goal and very pleased with the results of this surgery. We will get under the O, and soon. Onederland is nearer everyday.

I weighed 211 this morning. I have not been in the one's in like 5-6 years so I will be glad when I get there again. My goal in Feb. when I had surgery was to be under 200 lbs. by the time my cousin's wedding roles around. Her wedding is in October so I should accomplish my goal!

I am at 201... so close I can taste it!!! 199 is also a major milestone for me because it marks 50 pounds lost and halfway to goal. I'm really hoping to hit it by the end of this month. :->

Oh, I also have a little tip for all of you coming up on onederland. I changed my screensaver to '199' (3D text that just spins around). I think it helps keep me focused on my goal.

I'm hovering between 208-209lbs. I've been exercising like a crazy woman and the scale is going down again. I was stuck at 211-213lbs for a little bit.

I'm floating at 210-209 this morning. I've lost 50lbs. I NEED to be 199, so I understand the anxiousness. This is for me. Though my goal is maybe a size 10 or 12(I figure that might be 160ish(I'm 5'6)

Monday morning I stepped on the scale & it said 199.5. I'll admit- I cried! More than changing sizes this was a huge moment for me. I have been in the 200's almost half of my life & all of my adult years. I never thought I would make it but I have & I'm 20 lbs. (well 19.5) away from my first goal.

Keep working hard & join me in onederland- it is amazing!!!

I felt compelled to jump on board! I know I still have 20 lbs. to go but can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have joined other threads too and it's nice to get to know a group of people. And congrats on doing so well...to all of us!!! Best wishes!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
