Countdown to Onederland!



Recommended Posts

Hey guys! I hope everyone had a safe and happy Memorial Day!

Thanks for all the kind congrats! I'm still hovering on 199 today! I have to admit that I didn't make the best food choices this weekend... bbq, 1/2 hotdog (no bun), potato salad, baked Beans, chips, brownies, strawberry pretzel salad, reeses pb cups, and I topped it all off last night with a scoop of Rocky Road ice cream(after I walked 2 miles w/some friends)!!! EEEK! Well, today is a new day! I think I deserved a weekend of eating bad, and heck, I didn't gain any weight! I ate whatever I wanted, but not a lot! I love my band!

Okay.... so far today I've had a low-carb carnation instant Breakfast and looks like tuna for lunch. I'll be good this week and get my weight-loss kick started again. I had my one year bandaversary on Saturday and was at my goal of 199, so life is pretty good right now.

How is it going everyone? Hope you are all losers this week!

I am sooooooo depressed right now.

Remember how I was puking really bad and raced down to TJ??? Well, they completely unfilled me. And Dr. Martinez showed me that my stomach had actually pushed up through my band. He said that my band had not slipped. Yet, from all of the puking, my stomach pushed it's way up through my band.

And now, I am eating like a maniac. I was 210 last week at my WW meeting. Now, one week later, I weigh in at 216. Just shoot me now please.

Flutternutter - What does that mean? You said your stomach came up through your band, can they fix it? Does it mean another surgery? I am so upset for you. Don't abandon your efforts, you deserve a healthy life. Did your doc stitch it into your stomach muscles? Inquiring minds want to know...... hugs sweetie!

travelbug - the 200 pound barrier is really artifical ( meaning the difference between 199 and 201 is only two pounds) - we can break through it! I think the recommitment to writing food down and exercise will get us right over. I agree that not moving the 50 pound weight will be a delight.

Best wishes and have a great tomorrow!

<p>Hey guys!</p> <p> </p> <p>Fluffer - I'm confused. It sounds like your band has slipped... I thought that any movement from where it should be was a slip? What is your doc gonna do now? I'm sooo sorry that you are going through this. Best of luck sister! I know it is difficult without a fill, but try to make good food choices.</p> <p> </p> <p>Paulax - you are almost here! You can do it! Come on in the Water is warm here in Onederland!</p>

On a side note - what is up with LBT ? I can't edit a post without it putting all that extra junk in it! Sorry guys! I guess I need to proof read my posts better before hitting the post reply button.

I don't know, but I couldn't even get in here for a week or so. It seems to me as though as some kinks are ironed out, new kinks form.

With regard to the editing posts, hit the "Go Advanced" button and you can edit properly.

AND THANKS KIM, I CAN JUST ABOUT TASTE IT.....

This site has been weird! There are hesitations, blank pages and I don't even try to edit anymore.

Flutternut - how are you doing? Are you ok? Let us know.

Best wishes to all of you on Hump Day!

I'm seriously struggling. I ate 2 servings of chicken enchiladas for dinner. They tasted sooooo damn good and I couldn't stop. The only thing that I have any control of is my walking. I finally got my pedometer set and I have walked 10,000 steps yesterday and today. It really didn't seem that hard at all. I am working at a pizza Parlor in the morning doing food prep, and then in the afternoon I work at a middle school as a campus supervisor. I get to walk a lot at the school.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
