Countdown to Onederland!



Recommended Posts

Hi gang, Ive been stuck at 202 for a few weeks now. I know that I have been traveling a lot lately, and my schedule is totally out of whack, and I have been eating a little more lately, but alas, I have not lost for a while and it bugs me. If I try harder and add more exercise, I think I will break this plateau, but I am running in six directions. I am so grateful, I am not gaining, as I would have in the past, to me that is victory. I think by fall my life will return to normal and that seems a long way off, but it really is just a few more months. O to be in onederland!!! The last time I was under 200, I think I was a fetus!!! lol ;):faint:

Hi all, well I suck, gained 4 pounds, but doc said it is from having surgery last week. I had been real sick with bronchitis and had been coughing real bad and was worried about a slip because I got real restricted even before surgery, so I asked the doc and he said coughing can sometimes cause it and swelling on top of it didn't help. So he took out .2cc and I am on liquids for a couple days, and maybe I can eat food instead of junk now. Good luck everyone!!

I'm here! After climbing all the way up to 219 after my knee surgery I am happy to report the scale said 206 this morning! I REALLY wanted to see onderland by my bday (tomorrow!) but that isn't going to happen. With all the issues and complications I have had the past year I guess I should just be happy with my 75ish pounds lost and move forward.

Come on in ladies, take my hand, the water's fine.

Just checking in to help encourage my buddies to dip into the waters of 190's. I am still under 200, went on a bit of an ice cream bender, but now back on plan.

Getting under 200 wasn't as hard as I thought .

Now getting under 198! Now THAT's is the kicker.

And getting back to the gym I joined a few months back, ya THAT I need help with......

Haven't been online for awhile, but I am only 2 lbs. away from "onederland" and I am so excited! It will feel so good to not have to move that weight to the 200 mark on the scale...I promised myself that once I reached the 190's that I would commit to an exercise program, so hopefully I will have to live up to my promise. I have to revel in my success with all of you because I am still too embarassed to tell my hubby and son (the only two who know about my surgery) how much I actually weighed when I was banded....Isn't that pitiful, but I just can't. Happy that I am heading to ONEDERLAND tho....keep up the good work and we can all get there.....what a ONEDERFUL feeling!

It is so exciting to watch and listen to all of you creeping towards Onederland.

I'm in the Big Apple vacationing. Lots of good for me food and exercise. Even taking the subway you do stairs. I saw two plays, went to the Met, scoured Chinatown and attended a wedding (lots of calories but hours of dancing too).

jacqui - feel better, being sick sucks! Don't worry about the weight, medication does that to me too.

Drews - Way to go girl! You are almost there! And more than that, you have recommited yourself to a healthy, happy new lifestyle! Roll on!

So I won't be weighing, but feel grateful to all of you for keeping the focus and positive thinking.

Love you guys,

Sunta - Congratulations! Wooooooooooooo whoooooooooooo!

I am nervous to get on the scale, but I will on Monday. After traveling, eating really well, then spending just a few days of vacation time with my mom and aunt in New Jersey; it was amazing the trigger it was for me to go on a candy and cookie hunt. Sneak eating - sick stuff. But I'm home again, exercising and going forward. I'm so glad I have the support here.

hugs to all,

michelle

you do look great....but i need some words of encouragement. i have been languishing here at 201-202 lbs for weeks now or maybe it just seems like weeks, but i just can't seem to break the onederland barrier. maybe i shouldn't get on the scale for a week, really concentrate on what i am eating and see where the pounds fall. ideas? anyone else been in this situation...i just can't wait to see that 199!!!

      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.
