Elusive Onederland - No more!



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I was going to just post this to the end of my "elusive onederland" thread, but I couldn't figure out how to add the picture? The only way I know how is to start a new thread because it has the "attach file" feature.

So my patience paid off and as of today, exactly 39 weeks and 1 day since my first appointment and 19 weeks and 3 days since my surgery I have hit ONEDERLAND!

:rolleyes: I guess I thought it would be more magical.... Don't get me wrong, it's AWESOME, but I still have more work ahead. I haven't been under 200lbs since I was a TEENAGER and that was a while ago.

Thanks everyone for all the encouragement and kind words since starting my journey.

Congratulations! I remember being excited but to your point the next goal is staring you right in the face.

I have been stuck just 1lb short of reaching a normal weight and BMI for two weeks now jumping back and forth between 175 and 176. I have decided I will get there when I get there. I am a daily weigher and had to stay off the scales now for the last week in the hopes I won't smash it! LOL! It is glass and this week annoying!

I keep telling myself it doesn't matter that I have done great and look great and those last 10 lbs really don't matter but so far that isn't working. Apparently they matter more than I thought they would.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I know exactly how you feel because I hit 299 on Christmas Eve, the first time I've been under 300 lbs in over 9 years. :) I can't WAIT to see what Onederland looks like! Only 96 lbs to go!

Keep up the amazing work! Keep us posted!

Thank you everyone for the kind words. I never want to see a "2" as my first number of my weight again. I will feel more confident of hat once I am in the low 190's ????

      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.
