Almost to Onederland



Recommended Posts

How many more are close to the 100's? I have been 200.5 t0 202 for 2 weeks now and all the exercise I do won't budge the scale. I am eating perfect. Hmmmf. I know my metabolism is slow as a snail but come on!!! I have only lost 17 lbs. since surgery so this has been a slow progress for me. When I figured it out in my head I thought I would lose 2-3 lbs a week if I did everything right. Is anyone else feeling satisified, eating right and exercising and still not losing??? I got this surgery because I used to eat about 1700 cal a day and still couldn't lose so I thought this would help!!!!! It's not!!!! UGH. I am going to get a trainer at the gym if it doesn't start coming off quicker!!

Any input would be helpful!!!

I'm not that close yet to Onederland.... keep exercising and tracking and I'm sure you will see results before you know it. Hang in there!! You can do it!

have you been checking your measurements? Sometimes the NSV's help with the slow weight loss. Good luck!

I was losing really good at first. I was 212 when I went for my post op on 6/24 and I have weighed since only to discover that I have not lost another pound! I have been eating perfect and can't figure out what my deal is. Maybe I'm just ready for my first fill!

I have had 2 fills about six weeks apart first fill was 1 cc 2nd was 2 cc, I feel satisfied now! I know if anything I should probably eat more through the week. I eat better on the weekends. I just read skinny b***h and I am thinking about going with a more vegan diet. This book is about how pesticides, hormones and artificial flavorings in foods make us fat. I am starting to believe that this book makes some sense. I think I am going to try it and see what happens. I noticed when I was eating just the juices I was feeling better and had more energy!!

we will see!

Well I have been at 202 for over a month now! I have been exercising...walking 3.5 miles every day, and eating between 1200 and 1400 calories.....I just cAN'T SEEM TO GET TO ONEDERLAND! Well I might have to go on liqueds or something stupid like that. I did not do very well on liqueds before, maybe for a week though! I will say my body has been really shifting around and I have gone down 2 sizes, but I WANT ONDERLAND:(

I'll be close to one-derland by the end of 2011. Hopefully I'll be in the 100s to kick off the new year.

It's a double edged sword... not being able to frequently measure my current weight.... but with my pre surgery weight and giving myself 1~2 pounds of fat loss per week... i'll be able to make my goal for the year.

Wish me luck and best luck to you!

      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.
