I hit ONEderland on Saturday



Recommended Posts

On Saturday morning I hit 199.0 lbs on the scale! OMG!!!! I did a happy dance and took a picture of my toes on the scale next to that glorious number.

I'm at 75 pounds lost now since my pre-op diet began in Sep 2007 and 56 pounds down since surgery!

I am just so happy to see a "1" in front of my weight! This is huge for me. I weigh less now than I did at my wedding in 2006!!!

I love my band! Thanks for all the support here.

Congratulations!!! That must feel SO great!

I'm going to hit mine in a couple weeks, and then I'm going to not look at the scale again for at least a week or so -- I never want to see myself above 199.9 again. :tongue_smilie:

I hit that magic number just a couple of weeks ago and I know the feeling! I have lost a total of 97 pounds since I started my pre surgery diet and I can't believe how great it feels! :tt2::lol::thumbup:

I have some weird mental stuff around being under 200 pounds. Here I sit 2 weeks later and I'm only down to 197:blushing:. So about a pound a week I guess... so at least i'm still losing. The last time I lost weight I only got down to like 191. I have faith that the band is my ticket (tool) to help me get under that threshold. I know I can do it. It may take more time but it will happen.

I'm going to start tracking my food again each day and add some strength to my cardio excercise routine. I'll need to kick it up a notch and not just keep doing what I've been doing.:wink2:

Thanks to everyone for all the support.

And good luck to everyone else! we can meet our goals together.:confused:

      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.
