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.

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 :angry:

people have been shot for less :lol:

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) :lol:

is 10lbs

dropping 29 lbs in 6 weeks in NOT slow :)

terrific, terrific :rolleyes:

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

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.

What is Onederland?

It is when you have come out of the 200, 300 and you are finally in the 100...it could be 199, it's still onederland...Yay

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
