Anyone out there just broke under 200lbs?



Recommended Posts

I went under 200lbs a week ago and danced a jig in my bathroom! Down 64 pounds so far. It's funny how some people may not understand a small joy such as this, but I haven't been under 200pounds for years! Currently At 195. Feeling great so far....

I did, and proudly announced it yesterday - first time in 10 years that I'm under 200. Congratulations to you, and to all the future Onderland people! If you haven't gotten there yet, just be patient, your time will come.

I know I am but the scale doesn't show it yet *pouts*. I currently weigh 213 but I had over 12 pounds of skin removed (10 days ago) and have lost another 4 pounds on top of that. So, once the swelling from this recent surgery goes down I'll be under 200. I'm praying that's sooner than later so I can officially be there!

I had lap band surgery 3/29 and have lost 18 lbs...not sure it its great or not but I started at 242 and am now 224. I guess I just may be a little inpatient, but I think this is going super slow...and I cant wait to get to 199.....the worst is sometimes I gain like 3 lbs in a week and loose them the following week when I dont make any changes to my diet or routine.

That sounds like Fluid fluctuations. When I began watching my carbs I no longer have any swelling or feel bloated. And I don't gain two or three pounds then lose ....it's Protein for me!!

      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.
