ladyd728 106 Posted March 2, 2014 I just read about the meaning of Onederland and I have been in this place for a while, so HAPPY. I'm,186 this morning so I have lost 29 pounds since surgery December 17. I think that is slow compared to some of the post I've read on here but I'm happy to be losing. I didn't measure myself before this journey started but I know I have last tons of inches because none of my clothes fit...YAY!!! Thank God for this surgery. 1 Texasmeg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted March 2, 2014 (edited) lost 29 pounds- surgery December 17. slow compared to others????? lady WooHoo on becoming one of the latest and greatest new members of "onederland" never, ever, never compare your weight loss/time period to anyone elses in sleeveland people have been shot for less the expression on the board is.............. "the one thing we have in common is that we're all different" the "average"/good amount of weight loss in a month (per Nielson's poll) is 10lbs dropping 29 lbs in 6 weeks in NOT slow terrific, terrific trust me!!!!! would i lie to you its great to see that you are losing inches by the way your clothes feel/fit but....you might want to measure yourself today, and again in 2-3 weeks etc keep records of those inches all over these #s are especially nice to see when you might not have lost any weight in a while/stalled - but your inches are dropping you are doing great keep up the good work for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life kathy congrats Edited March 2, 2014 by proudgrammy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyd728 106 Posted March 2, 2014 Hi proudgrammy, I have my surgery this Wed 3/5 and I'm so glad/excited but nervous too...normal? Any words of advice/wisdom?? Thank you, thank you... Congrats, stay focus,walk, walk, walk and sip your Water. GasX strips worked good for me, ice pops were good too and a heating pad for my stomach was great. That first week was so hard for me, but everyone is different so I hope this will be a breeze for you. Wish you so much success with your new life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
