Countdown to Onederland!



Recommended Posts

I finally made it!! I finally got my bodybugg to work properly and that gave me the incentive to get my butt moving. I needed it and as a result the scale was 199.8 this morning. So, close to 200 but I will take it - I have not seen the scale start with a 1 since 2001! Wow, what a great holiday gift!

Hit 199.5 yesterday and it is still there today. I attribute the extra push on weight loss to working out but not going to high on heart rate and trashing muscle. This feels like a solid fat loss.

FEEELING GOOD! 2.5 pounds to go for my Jan 1 goal of 195.

WEEE HEEEEEEEEEEE

Good on you :whoo::whoo:... you got there before I did. I haven't weighed myself for 3 days but I doubt if any weight has come off. We're still a week off from the new year so it could happen yet.

Congratulations to New_Me as well. :whoo::whoo:

Thanks everyone.

Loving - good job!

Laura - I feel your pain. I looked at the scale today and I have been working toward this mini-goal for sometime and thought that I would jump off in pure delight. Not so much.

I immediately looked at the rest of the scale (I have the dr type scale with the 'block' that you slide across the numbers) and thought to my self "good god you have a loooooooong way to go to get to goal - I have to go all the way down the damn thing!

I know it is doable but damn it seems like it will be hard!

Love the band!

I reached onederland yesterday. It felt good as I haven't been there for awhile. I was that far away to get to it, but I am a shortie, so at 199 it's still way too much!

but I'm celebrating the victory anyway.

I went shopping in my closet this a.m. in the "I haven't worn these in a long time dept" and several things fit. (Happy Dance) and I had to retire a few, too large things (more happy dancing).

I have a mini goal to get to 198 by 12/31, b/c my fingers are crossed that I can get 8 off in January to bring me to 190!

Not sure 8 is possible for me in one month, but we'll see... it's good to have goals!

So close Tracy! I have been watching your progress because you started at basically the same weight as me. My goal is a little bit lower than yours - I guess I am shorter! Good luck getting to onederland by new years - I dont think I will make it (207 today) but surely I can make it in Jan. which is just fine with me!

      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.
