Congrats to everyone in "Onderland" your stories fuel my passion to join you soon. I'm five weeks post op and I've lost 49lbs so far. I began my journey WLS in January 2013 weighing 305lbs. I had my gastric bypass surgery April 21st and I love the transformation I'm undergoing. God bless you all for sharing your journeys it gives me hope and inspires me to continue to eat healthy and exercise every day.

Im not sure if i mentioned this before but if i didnt i have been remise.
2 words- Savory oatmeal
Look up the recipes!!! Seriously its way healthy and a great quick meal you can cook at the beginning of the week. oatmeal is no longer just for Breakfast.
here is the one i have done twice and been very very hapy with
Irish steel cut oatmeal
onions
whole cut mushrooms
soy based bacon bits
olive oil
low sodium soy
sage
rosemary
garlic
salt to taste ( least bit possible)
pepper
Cook oatmeal seperate and use a butt load of onions and mushrooms saute the mess together and add to oatmeal as the last step.
You can cut up chicken fish or turkey into it. i like mine cold but you can work out the serving temp on your own
Look up other recipies they are wide and vast. next week im doing an asian oatmeal and following that a middle eastern one.
low cal, low fat,full of Fiber and filling..with chicken or fish you get the added protien
Peace out skinny people

Crystal light was my go to for Clear Liquids. Unjury unflavored Protein will give you 20 grams of protein when mixed in.

Thought I would share with the group! It's official I've lost a "Julie" the amount of weight Of my oldest daughter oh happy day ...

Yep, I am also 5'2". I know my clinic recommends one year after you weight becomes stable - no gain or loss. I think next summer would be the soonest I would qualify. Plastic surgery and college tuition are not going to happen at the same time in our budget!

I did it. Finally made it to Onederland! I start Boot Camp fitness next week and have been 'wogging' regularly!
Thanks to all the Junies, you are all wonderful. Surgeversary almost here!

yay yay...I weigh 135 as well, I've been at this weight now for at least 3 months, I don't want to lose any more.

D,
Congratulations!!! im confused which one is the daughter? both women are thin, young and beautiful. have a great day.

Wow!! Great job!!!
I've officially lost a me. I've lost 136 lbs and I weigh 135 now.

Yes very much so. I love what I have accomplished in a year (6/19/13) everyone's post on here i could relate too and its help me get through things. I been using fitness pal to log my walks and my bike rides, and i looked at the month and i was impressed with 138 miles walking with a few bike rides for the month, and i posted on Facebook that my goal was 200 miles in a month both walking/bike riding, 3 months past and i wasn't even close, so someone commented on it how was i doing on my goal, my reply was i think i raised the bar too high. Well this month i got in 202 miles in for the month, I'am so happy that i accomplished it. My prize was beside me patting myself on the back was i got my health back, at one time my heart refraction rate was less than 24%.. Its now 68%.. Im a tall person of 6'5 and always thought of my self on being tough but i cried with happiness after the test done from my cardiologist told me, i think he cried too after seeing me so happy with tears , for 10 yrs i lived thinking there was no hope, i came a long way from only able to walk 50yards. Now my Doctors support group batriatics Nurse said i been a big inspiration to everyone and they want me to come to the office the would like to ask me something and not to wait after our next support group meeting (once a month) I said would. I love everyone of you we mostly walk the same path in our life's struggle with weight. Things got better..... Life is good.. Peace

Yes, Yes, Yes!!

Does anyone else get as excited as I do when I pull up this app and find someone has replied to our forum? I love you guys!!!! You have all had a part of my journey over the last year. I have an amazing husband, family and friends, but there are just things that you all understand that they don't!
Thank you for walking through this past year with me. Did I just say "year"? What???!!!! Next week will be my surgiversary. I am tearing up right now thinking of all that I have accomplished this past year. I can hardly wait to go see my surgeon. Never would have been excited about a dr visit before. Lol
Have a blessed day, my friends!

Tried a new app this morning on my Wog. It definitely helped me pick up my pace. It was featured on the Today show recently. It's called Rock My Run. I did 3.04 miles in 40 minutes. 7 minutes better than my last 5k. I hope I can do that tomorrow night in my next 5k... Catchin Fireflies. It's a glow run. Can't wait!

Absolutely could not have said it better. I too have a wonderful, supportive husband and family, but I owe SO much to the people on this site for their understanding and support. A huge part of my success has been the motivation and support that I have received right here. It is really hard to believe how much my life has changed in a year! My Surgiversary does not come up until June 25th. I had still been losing steadily up to about two weeks ago, when I hit my first stall ever. I am going to keep working the program, but I think my body has decided that this is it. I am great with that! I am wearing a size 6 or 8 and feel fantastic. The only goal that I would not have met is a 'normal' BMI and I am within about 3 -5 pounds of that. NEVER would have imagined that I would get here when I started this journey. Thank you!
