Why is onederland so evasive?!



Recommended Posts

I am 7 months out and finally broke the 200 mark- actually down to 191. !!! But the scale has not move at all this month...very FRUSTRATING ! I know the weight loss slows down but this can't be it ☹️ I work out with a trainer two days a week and try to walk a mile two other days, I am getting my Protein, taking my Vitamins and Calcium . I do admit I stopped counting how much Water I drink. But how do I kick thus back into gear and start dropping again? I will take any advise, criticism and help... I am just at a loss as to what to do.

Onederland is still a goal for me. I was 13bs away... then 18... then 15... etc, etc. I'll get there one of these days. I haven't lost all hope (just a little though, to be honest). Ugh!

Never made it. But I'm 5 ft 11 inches and look and feel better than I ever have. I've lost 116 pounds. Am an athlete. And, accept that scale numbers should not control our emotions.

After 6 mths the weightloss slows down. Just change your exercise routine. Shock ur body, you will continue to lose whether its inches or 1 to 2 lbs a week. Enjoy the journey. I am 19 months out and still working hard.

Weight training burns fat and builds muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat. Your scale number will mean something different at that point. Dont go by the number on the scale, go by how the clothes fits u.

      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.
