Countdown to Onederland!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone

I was banded May 3rd and I weighed 243lbs. Onderland seemed so far away and almost out of reach. But I am happy to say that this morning when I got weighed the scale said an amazing 203. I am so excited I can hardly stand it. Hoping to join you in onderland very soon.

chickatee - you are almost there. Just keep doing what has worked for you and you'll be there. You deserve a healthy life!

Everyone - I am continuting my Onederland experience and want to break through the 190 barrier. I don't know why I have set these silly weight goals up as barriers, but I want to leap over them. I have been sitting on 192 - 193 for several weeks. I am ready to plunge down the scale now. I have a feeling that when I get snared, it is both psychological and physiological. Must have been a past set point. Hey, I'll figure this out. I can smell the 180's/ Can't wait!

Still at 203 or I should say I'm back to 203. I had a couple bad days last week and gained a couple lbs. Since it is TOM for me I guess I should have expected it. Hopefully by next week I will be in onderland

Im there. I weighed this morning at 197.8so Im claiming this weight. Actually I was at 199.8 on saturday but that was too close so I decided to wait just in case my body decided to change its mind. Now my next goal is 180. I hope to get there by xmas which seems really doable as long as I dont plateau. Im keeping my fingers crossed.

My goal is to join the onederful folks in onederland by December 1st. That means 23 pounds in 3 months. As soon as I get cleared by my doc, I'm going to ramp up on the exercise. But in the mean time, I need to focus on Water, Protein and staying motivated. Thanks for being so inspirational!!

      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.
