Countdown to Onederland!



Recommended Posts

Karen...you did it, you did it, you did it...

Someone please rescue me...I have been hovering at 202 for 3 weeks. Over Christmas I changed the eating plan to Protein, vegg, sweets, but hey, a small lapse. I have been on track for over a week and nothing. I was very inspired by TracyinKS's picture of the scale reading 199.4. I take my camera to the scale with me every morning. I even have yellow post-it-notes with numbers on them on my bathroom mirror. I have to look around them to fix my hair. I have all the numbers ready, I wonder when I will be able to change them!

And I heard the heavenly chorus this morning when I stepped on the scale. I finally reached Onederland today! Yay! I didn't take the camera because I was afraid it would add ounces, or something. LOL I was 199 even.

Not too long to go now before my next fill. I know I still may be able to eat after that one but it's got to be better than what's happening now... I can eat heaps more than I was while restricted and I know there are many people on here who would say to use more willpower but it's easier said than done. I definitely am trying to control it and definitely making sure I exercise most days so I don't put any weight on but I want the band at a point where it is doing the job it should be. Right now it feels like I never even had the op.

You won't hear that from me! :wink: Willpower only goes so far when you're fighting your own body -- and that's part of the battle. Someone once said it's like trying to use willpower to survive on two hours sleeps every night. Sure, you could do it for awhile but eventually your body is going to say, "Forget this! You need to sleep!"

You guys are doing GREAT! I also have reached onederland and feel like my first obstacle is hurdled. I was hung up at 201.5 for a whole week,but after my fill I went to 198.5. Feels great to be here with you and I hope I stay.

Congratulations Julia, it's a nice feeling when you get there.

Thanks for your words of wisdom Longhorn. I'm very happy with what I've achieved so far, just expected to be at least another 10 lbs down by now. At least I still have a month left to lose it for the next challenge! ;)

      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.
