Countdown to Onederland!



Recommended Posts

Linda, funny you should post that. I have signed up to run a 5k and I just finished my 3.2 miles on the treadmill. I am fixing to eat some edamame, and my scales said 198.0 this morning. I am celebrating a little differently this time!! BTW, this may be TMI, but I feel so attractive today...maybe even sexy. LOL DH is giving me "the look" again. Our 13th anniversary is Monday. I dare say it will be the best one in several years.

Renewed that is great news!!! I am also a pretty darn happy camper this morning! I woke up and weighed in at 199.4!!!!!!!!! The first time in 15 years I have been under 200! I couldn't wait to finally post on here!

Congrats to all of you for making it to Onederland! I am currently stuck just a few pounds away...it was my TOM last week so I was up 1-2 lbs; I'm very consistent with sticking to my diet, so I know it's not my eating. I've been out walking in this beautiful weather and did some raking over the weekend too. I'm hopeful that this week I'll get back to some progress! I really can't wait to see that number on the scale!

Is it too early to join you?

I was banded in July of last year and I would like to try and be in onederland by my bandiversary. So, that is 2.5 months away...

I'm currently at 237lbs....what do you think? Probably not possible, but I am going to give it everything I have. What an amazing accomplishment that would be...so...38lbs to get there...divided by 2.5 months...approx 10 weeks...means a loss of 3 lbs per week (plus two)...that way sounds like it is doable.

I started at 338 and and just reached 100lbs down after 9.5 months....

I love this band!!!

So...can I join you?

I feel like I'm getting out of the barely in onederland stage. You know, where each morning you hope that you haven't added Water weight or TOM comes and you're back over 200. Now that I'm at 193 I think I have finally kissed the 200's goodby. What a onederful feeling!!

renewed hope:

I got so excited when I hit Onederland and since then I've been see-sawing back and forth 199, 200, 199, 200. I'm hoping that I can push it down to 197 so that I don't kick back up to 200 ever again.

Congratulations on 193. I'm jealous.:wink2:

Rainer:

I've seen your full pics on the before & after thread. I would have sworn that you were under 200 already.

You look great.

You'll be there before you know it.

Take care.

Sue

      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.
