Only 14 pounds from 'onederland'!!



Recommended Posts

Fitday weight tracker has me getting to wonderland in about 7 weeks with my average weight loss of 2.1 pounds a week since I started the liquid diet. I am so excited! I am just coming off of a plateau so I am hoping that things rev up at least until I get to 199! I wont mind another plateau then but it would just suck if if happened a pound or two before that, LOL :lol:

Yay gingerbug! Getting below 200 is an AMAZING feeling. I use Fitday too, and I like how they have how much weight you need to lose per week in order to reach your goal. How long are you planning to be on a liquid diet for?

I was on a plateua the past few weeks also. It was a combination I guess of not having as much to lose and not being 100% with my food, but I think the main part was having no fill. That was due to the fact that I had a leak in my band and I was rebanded last week. Maybe you need a fill or are you at a good restriction level?

I wonder if you can still lose 2.1lbs a week when you only have 23lbs til goal (yay!) because I'm realizing how the last few pounds get harder. I say go for it, but I wouldn't want you to be upset if you didn't get there when you expected to. Do you mind me asking how tall you are? I'm really excited for you to be in onederland because I know how exciting it was for me when I hit onederland!

LOL, I meant that I started tracking my weight loss from the start of my my liquid diet, not that I am doing a liquid diet now. Since the 17th of December I have lost an average of 2.1 pounds a week. I am 5'11" and my goal weight is 190#. I have for sure noticed it gets harder to lose the weight as I get closer and I am just fine with that. THe average for 8 months is 2.1 but for the last two months it is 1.33 pounds per week. As far as I am concerned, being this close to goal, as long as I dont GAIN, I am fine if it takes me anouther year to lose 23 pounds. At my height, 23 pounds is going down just about one more size in clothing so the visual impact is not huge. the benefit of this is that I already 'look' like I am a normal weight. My plan for the next few weeks is to hit the gym pretty hard. I am suffering from ragweed allergies that make it hard for me to even breath but as soon as I get a handle on that I plan to go into the gym and trade a pound of flesh as often as possible. I would prefer to be at goal by no later than spring so I can buy a whole new wardrobe. Right now i have a frankenstien combo of new, used, and out of date hand-me-downs. I have an appointment tomorrow for anouther fill, I notice that while my restriction seems ok with the amount of food I can eat, it seems short lived. Food 'drops' through the band rather quickly and i get hungry. I tend to eat about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of food at each meal and I think I was told no more than 1/2 cup. I have 6.7 cc's in a 10cc band. I usually get small fills more frequently instead of drastic fills because I seem to need time to adjust to them. Even with small fills I do an extra day of liquids and an extra day of mushies afterwards. The doc and i agree that this is the way to go to not aggrevate anything. This is a really long post, I just realized!

:blushing:LOL...so I totally read your post wrong! I'm not really sure how I did that....anywho, good luck on getting those last pounds off. You might think that one clothing size and 23lbs won't be such a huge visual impact, but I actually think it's the exact opposite. When normal weight people lose 10lbs, you can tell the difference and people rant and rave about how good they look. It took 50lbs+ for me to lose for people to start noticing. When there's less to lose, the difference is more noticeable, so don't be surprised if people do notice.

1.33lbs a week is still really good at this point for you, and like you said, as long as you're not gaining. Hope your fill went well!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
