Okay, I am ready to start posting here. I feel as if I was out there in between ville...not close to 300 anymore, and not close to 200, but here I am 228 and I am sooooo ready to have a home. I do have a great home over on the exercise bicycling thread, but I have sooo wanted to post here too. I am looking at getting to 200 by Christmas. That is my goal and if I get there sooner, then great. If I don't get there by Christmas, I guess I will have to change up some things. My name is Deanna and I ride my road bike A LOT!!! I also am doing the couch to 5 K program and am starting week 4 this week. I roller blade as well. I have a lot of muscle and am thinking that maybe my tummy will be fine after all of this weight is off. I have never had a flat tummy due to surgery when I was about three. I have a scar right across my tummy about where the plastic surgery pictures of tummy tucks I have seen are. That is where my pouch starts and it has always been there, as long as I can remember. I hope to get to know some of you as we get down to the greatest of all places that we as "fatties" can get. ONDERLAND!!!!

I saw 220.8 on my scale Sunday morning but it bounced after a day of graizing.. so I'm not claiming it til I see it again! So close to the Teens!

I'm like so many of you........... getting to that 199 is such a major HEAD game goal........... I can't wait!

The original goal was onederland by Thanksgiving, but now I think it may be in a couple of weeks! OMG...I think my husband will have to call 911 the morning I see 199 :confused:

I've been 204 for the last 8 weeks. Okay, that's not true. I've been 204, then 205, then 206, then 204 again - you get the picture. FIVE STINKIN' POUNDS! I get so frustrated because the ones are right there in front of me but I can't get it. I'm taking the Halloween challenge - I'm breaking this stupid plateau if it kills me!

I hear ya, Cyndilou! That's EXACTLY what I do. I joined Curves last month and I weighed Monday on their scale and it balanced on 200 so I was thrilled but it just wouldn't let me go to 199. Of course, that was with my gym shoes on so MAYBE I'm in ONE-derful ONE-derland but I'll make sure I'm there before I really Celebrate. It's exciting!

After I hit 199 a couple of weeks ago....I thought I would be back to visit two-terville. That kind of stuff always happen to me. So far I am 193 and moving down a little every couple days. I cant believe this is for real....that the weight is coming off. I am soooooo happy!!!

      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.
