It took a long time for me to get to onderland. I would get to 203 and then do something to sabotage my program.

I have been under 200 for about a month now so I guess it is safe to call it official. I am at onderland something I having done in 25 years.

I hit 209 today and now can really see that I will return to Onderland in the not too distant future.

Can't wait, funny how it is inspiring to visualize going to the 'other' side of a number!

I haven't been in Onderland since 1998!

I am at 203.5 lbs.

I have a follow-up appointment in 3 weeks. I am aiming for 199 (at least) by then. I'm so close!

I think the last time I was below 200 was my freshman year in college. It's almost nervewracking.

Count me in! After a very lonnnng plateau, I am losing again. Thank goodness. I had to give myself a big kick in the behind and also a small fill.

I am at 215 lbs. Being accountable here hopefully will help me kick some of my nasty habits that have been holding me back.

I can't wait! :crying:

      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.
