i'm so proud of you! Entering Onderland is such a good feeling. I'm glad you found so much help and support on BP.

I love seeing the scale go down and feeling a difference in my clithes. I'm sure you have gone down at least a size by now. It feels so good to feel your old jeans getting loose in the thighs and waist. keep up the great work! Cya in the century club!

Congratulations! I just reached this milestone myself after a long struggle getting below 200. It seems like a dream that I will wake up from! Like you I feel like telling the world and now tell everyone my weight when I tried to hide it before. Now I am proudly 196-199!

Now we just need to keep it going. I am 5-10 and want to be in the 180s. What is your goal?

Thank you all!! I would be happy at 150lbs however I have heard that I may bounce down a little lower?? I am sure everyone is different. You are right, there is something so liberating at being below 200 lbs!!

Let's keep up the good work fellow sleevers! Cheers to all :)

you can get to 150. 100 lbs definitely doable and possibly more. take advantage of first year. I just had my 1 year anniversary and it's getting slower but still works.

I hit wonderland too but so unhappy about just spending seven days in the hospital due to my sleeve narrowing where my band was that created scar tissue. I had to have another surgery last Wednesday to balloon it and get it open. I'm so depressed I don't even care about the weight. I had sleeve surgery five weeks ago and had such a hard time recovering and now this. By week five I was supposed to be on soft meats and advanced and I'm still on full liquids with all kinds of surgery pain again where they opened me up. I'm sorry I did this surgery and I'm in a very bad place mentally. I know one day I will be happy to be in wonderland. I'm just so sick and weak I can't be happy and wear jeans and be happy. So for the venting but I had to get it out.

I'm so sorry for the path you find yourself on and I can't really relate to your journey but someone who can and is a great source of inspiration is RJs/beginning. Check her out. .. I think it would be helpful to you. Good luck

Where or how do I search this person? It would be helpful for me to read the journey. I need inspiration.

      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.
