9 pounds away from onederland



Recommended Posts

Haven't been under 200 pounds in over a decade and even then I was 190 pounds. Lapband got 40 pounds off and now post op 10days sleeve I got another 14 pounds off.

I am 9 pounds away from being under 200 pounds! My birthday is july 31st so its my goal to reach under 200 pounds by then. I am so excited!

birthday is july 31st - goal, to reach under 200 pounds by then.

Nursebarbie

those 14 lbs are only the first of many many more lbs to come off :)

being so early PO - its quite possible you will lose those 9 lbs as a b'day present :)

playing devils advocate - if it takes an additional week or so to attain your goal....... :angry:

whats a couple of weeks in a lifetime ;)

good luck

happy early b'day :)

you will continue to look better and better year after year :)

enjoying your healthier, happier, longer life :)

Yes it does because I have gone through so much with the lapband and to have two procedures at one time was tough. I'm hoping the sleeve will carry me the rest of the way.

Wow! Congrats...onederland seems a long way away for me. I was almost there a couple of years ago but couldn't seem to get below 215.

Good luck to you! You'll be there in no time.

      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.
