Countdown to Onederland!



Recommended Posts

I had big hopes of making it to onederland by the beginning of June but there is no way that is going to happen! I'm hoping if I start posting in this thread it will motivate me to get there quicker. I have 13 pounds to go. Is that too soon to join you all?

Hi sue,

Thank you! I am still obese...and still at 230 lbs... That's the beauty of being 6ft tall though---I don't always look like I weigh what I weigh.

Thank God for small favors!

You are doing so well...an inspiration to us all, for sure!

Hello all,

30lbs to go...well, 31 lbs to enter onederland... There are less than 2 months to my bandiversary...is it possible?

I literally cannot imagine what my body will look like at 199lbs... I remember entering the 200s...but I am going to say I was in middle school---I was my height in 7th grade, so it must have been around then.

This is so exciting. I feel like a different person.

Hello everyone,

I want to join you while I countdown to onederland. I've got 12 pounds to go and I can't wait. I'm going to shout it from the top of the building when I get to 199.9 :) Just joking, I will tell it though as soon as I hit 199. I am so excited to be getting so close. I wanted to try to reach it by Memorial Day (I'm going to stay hopeful because anything is possible). I'm finally going to start with my personal trainer today, we will meet 3 times a week. I hope this will get me to onederland just that much faster.

dawg, I always lose a few pounds and then seem to sit at that weight ( + or - a couple of pounds) for awhile. If you are like that, then just think, next time you will drop out of the 200's forever. I just did that and man, it is a onederfull feeling. You will be there soon. Keep up the good work!!!

I must have spent 3-4 weeks sitting between 203-200. When I finally hit 199, everything started moving again. My body didnt want to go there at first, but what can I say . . . onederland is bliss!!!!!

Another thing I noticed is that once you are in onederland, small changes in weight are visibly noticeable which makes it much more fun. :0)

      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.
