ONEderland for the first time in 25 years!!!



Recommended Posts

I have hit ONEderland for the first time in 25 years.:) :) :) :) :) . .no one could possibly understand how good this feels. I was banded in 11/09 and it took me this long to loose 50lbs. . . I have 50 more to go. I ate grits on Saturday and by Sunday I was not holding down much of anything, including the Clear liquids. Tried to tough it our myself, (stayed on Clear Liquids for 2 days) but realized I was vomiting A LOT, so I called my doc. He's a very careful surgeon and decided to deflate me and let me heal. He will put some back in on Sept. 12th under flouro. Please say a pray for me that I don't blow up like a ballon till then. It took us almost a year to find the "sweet spot" and now it's gone. Fortunetly, I'm smaller and I feell like walking/jogging more, so I hope I will stay close to ONEderland.

This has NOT been an easy journey, but I'd walk EVERY SINGLE STEP AGAIN, to get these 50lbs gone. Now, to go to the other half of the race.

(hugs!)

Prayers are being said for you!! Just remember during the tough times how hard you have worked and that there IS an end in sight. Focus on the goal, but you need to heal first. This isn't a setback, just another step in your weight loss journey. Good luck, I know you can do it!!

You seem to have a really good attitude. Keep up the walking/jogging for sure. Until you get restriction again I would focus on eating the right foods (lowcarb, lowfat, high protien). Your portions may be larger than they will be once you've had a few fills but you will hopefully not gain. Best wishes, and congrats on getting to onederland, it's a huge milestone.

      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.
