Road to onderland challenge May 21-June 21



Recommended Posts

Stayed the same again. I guess I should be happy, no fill and not gaining. This week I am going to try to exercise more, maybe that will jump start me.

Tricia, thanks! Thats my goal for this month, but that will have me at a 17 lb loss, and that is great, but you know what is going to be a great victory for me... when I finaly hit the 20 lb mark. I might see if I can get a fill soon.

Keep up the great work everyone!

I have an unfair advantage.....should I drop out?

I was just banded on the 8th so I have had benefit of the pre/post-op fast.

Well TOM is over and yesterday I was pysched to drop 2 lbs and be at 197. :cool: So I figured I would cut back on my calories yesterday and run an extra mile just to make sure it stays there. Nope!!! Didn't work--this morning I weighed in at 198.2!!! Oh well, at least I am still in Onderland and I am hoping it is just Water weight. Maybe I should try upping my calories a bit since I am working out. I am taking in around 600-800. I don't want to go into starvation mode but I gain weight or stay the same at 1000. WTH??? Any suggestions??

Carol, it isn't a contest. Just something to push yourself to hit the onderland mark. If you haven't hit it yet then please don't drop out. Its great to have you here :biggrin1: .

Liz, I feel your pain. Aunt Flo is on her way, but I have been lucky this time, so far anyway. I hope you find the right amount of calories for you. I am sorry that I can't be of more help. I am just plugging along myself as it is.

On a happy note for me! I have hit my goal for this month :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Here is the picture to prove it :biggrin1:

On 6-21-06 our finish date I was 189. I did reach one of my goals, but I did not hit my other mini goal which was to hit the 20 lb loss mark. Next moths goal will be to hit the 20 lb mark. That will put me at 186. Everyone did such a great job. You are all an inspiration to me. When ever I feel like I am not doing well I come on here and I read the great posts and I feel a little better. Thanks everyone for the awesome support!

I didn't make it but i did go down .25. I will be there by next week. I started the Sacred Heart diet and have finally gotten in touch with the doctor about a fill. I wanted the band so I would have a tool to help me. The nurse is going to make sure it is OK. I really need one because this "flying solo" is for the birds!

Well, I didn't get to post on Wednesday so I am making my announcement now.

198lbs I HIT ONEDERLAND:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I don't know if I should rejoice or wait until tomorrow to see if I stay there. I have been at 200 for almost 3 weeks. I just hope that this weight stays for at least a week then I'll know it's for real.

Thanks Mia,

I actually got on the scale today and I am at 195 pounds!!!!Well, maybe I am out of the 200's for good now. I don't know what I was expecting to feel but I do feel better knowing I will not see 2 something again.

My goal looks attainable at this point.

      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.
