I NEED onederland



Recommended Posts

I have about 25, 26 pounds left until onederland and frankly, I am considering resuming my Protein heavy pre-op diet for ten days to get there. I lost 20 pounds on that previously (the first time) and it wasn't so bad, I didn't even follow it to absolute perfection.... How stupid is this?

I have a tattoo planned for when I get to that mark, its not weight loss related necessarily but its a tattoo I always wanted but always dangled in front of myself like a carrot. a few months back I decided that if I actually lost 100 pounds I would get it.

Grace, I HEAR YOU!!! We are about in the same places in our journeys at the same BMI even. I just went back to LCHF Atkins induction style. I'm tired of 3 or 4 pound months. I know they are going to happen occasionally but frankly EVERY month is slow for me and I have 40 pounds to Onderland! Sometimes I feel like shaking it up is the best way to go. Not only physically but mentally as well. My sister is getting married in January, and I know I won't be in Onderland by then, but I want to at least be knocking on the door! That's my carrot at the moment!

haha I am glad I am not alone. I have decided the route I am going is ONE calorie controlled meal per day and two Protein shakes... I use EAS soy because whey Protein is very difficult for me to digest. It's very preop diety and I know its kinda silly but what the hell, I'm going to do it 5 days on, 2 days off (I work weekends, I am not doing that to myself at work) and so on, as long as I can tolerate it. Will report back lol....

      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.
