Countdown to Onederland!



Recommended Posts

I have been looking forward to onderland for a while now. My scale will move a whole bunch at once, and then nothing for a week or two. Well the last couple days it has moved me closer to 199! I really wanted to be there by Thanksgiving but I dont think that is going to happen now. We will see though, I am stepping up my work outs and really being careful with my food. 6 lbs to go!!! I think I want to treat myself to something when I get there but cant decide what. Maybe I will highlight my hair or something. What did you all do?

That would be a great Christmas present, Mcgreen--and so would having lost almost 100 lbs. Good for you!

thanks! I haven't been below 200 since 1991! Hopefully it will happen!

you can do it! I've got a reward picked out - a new TV! Something to pamper yourself sounds like a great idea

I was banded on 11/1. Is it too soon to join the countdown to onederland? I can easily see it as I was in Onederland just 3 years ago. The past few years have been rough with the ilnesses and loss of my parents. I also have 2 children at home. Somehow with all of the stress and lack of sleep, I managed to gain 50 more pounds. After trying unsuccessfully to get it off for the past year, I joined the bandwagon. I lost 15lbs before surgery by starving and 10 since. Gas pain and generally feeling lousy after surgery makes it easy to stick to the liquid. Now I'm hungry. Anyway, I hope to cross the bridge into Onederland by New Years. Not sure if that's realistic but I'm going to shoot for it!

I am with you all...199 by Thanksgiving! (and then keep it there after thanksgiving, HA!)

Just a thought, and I wonder how many of you would feel the same...in the past, Halloween was usually my gateway to a solid weight gain through the holidays. NOT ANYMORE!!! Feels so good.....

Keep up the great work everyone!

200.0 I can't get any closer. 0.000000000001 pounds to go. If only my scale weighed to that! Maybe tomorrow, but definetly by thanksgiving. You are all doing great. I had to get a total unfill yesterday cause I didn't chew properly a few days ago and everything is agitated and irritated, so I am going to have to get to and stay in onederland with will power! Wish me luck.

      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.
