Getting so close to ONEDERLAND I could....



Recommended Posts

So I am getting so close to Onederland I can taste it! I am so excited because I literally cannot recall a time in my life that I was under 200 lbs (I'm assuming it was about 6th or 7th grade, but I didn't weigh myself then. I am looking for a way to Celebrate this momentous occasion other than clothes, since I have clothes all the way from a 14-28 and I am currently in a 16, I just don't think I will need any sizes smaller than a 14 19 lbs from now. Any suggestions, I really have worked my booty off for this, and I am not good at rewarding myself with things other than clothes and food, which I no longer use as motivation!!! Onderlander's what did you do for yourself? Or people who aren't there yet, what are you planning to do to celebrate?

I totally feel you @@SoonergirlLayla! :)

Not sure how I'm going to Celebrate though. New handbag maybe? I've been lusting for the Chloe Alice tote. *heartbreaking price though*

Maybe a little trip someplace, or tickets to an event like theater or concert, knowing fitting those seats is NO issue now! A spa day is good, trapeze lesson, personal trainer package? I have decided a massage every 50 pounds is perfect for me. Have fun imagining, and let us know what you decide on!

Oh so exciting!!!

When I hit the Onederland I was dancing around in my bathroom screaming like i just won the lotto (haha just thinking back on this makes me giggle) anyway - I did reward myself with food (i know i know) BUT i have been so strict with what i allow myself to eat... that I promised myself & my husband, that once i hit 199 i wanted to go to our fav pub.. (i have not celebrated any other milestones or have gone out at all for that matter) so this was a big deal for me...

I ordered 2 appetizers - chicken cutlets and creamy parmesan boneless wings... i had a bite of the chicken, spit it right out... then had ONE... boneless wing and well afterwards i felt stuffed, sick & just ticked - it wasn't the same anymore... I should have gone for jewelry LOL... I would do something special for yourself... or buy yourself something that when you wear it, it will remind you of your journey & how far you have come!!! good luck to you!!!

A massage sounds amazing. That may just be the thing I pick!

I have been really strict with my diet as well, and the first thing I thought was, Im going to eat chinese! That's why I started this :) I just knew I had to find some other wsy to Celebrate. I appreciate all of the suggestions! There are so many new things happening and learning about how to deal with them is so exciting, but just a little scary :)

      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.
