Wow! Hitting onderland will be an amazing high!

My plateau/stall has finally started to give way. I’d been hovering at 228 for the previous month or two. However, the last week it started creeping down again and now I’m at 223. Once I break 220 I will be the smallest I’ve ever been as an adult. I’ve got 5 months to hit my team’s goal of onederland before my year anniversary.

Thanks for the support!

I am trying to focus on being proud of myself for not ordering pizza/going the emotional eating route. I ate what I’d planned to eat and then went to bed at 8:30. Here’s to hopefully going to the gym this weekend!

Also trying to refocus on the fact that my last weigh in was 202.2. That means I’m less than three pounds away from being under 200 for the first time since middle school!!!!

I am having a really crappy night, and I’m trying not to beat myself up and to just really take care of myself. I am in the process of separating/divorcing, and although Valentine’s Day was never that big a thing for us as a couple, today is hitting me really hard. I am just one solid ball of anxiety and sadness right now, I canceled my personal training session because I just want to be home and in a ball and eating all the pizza and chocolate. I feel like an idiot for canceling it because I know that working out would make me feel better, but I just can’t get into a head space to be up for that right now. 

I need to remind myself that this is a pretty uniquely hard time for me, and just because I’m not working out when I’m going through this doesn’t mean I’m going to not work out regularly when things are normal… Right?

8 months post-VSG here, and officially 100lbs down (286 to 186). Weight loss still going at about a pound a week, but am way past my original target (219), off all BP meds, and feeling good. Still not spending enough time in the gym - got to focus on that next!

Up until this point I have been very happy with my progress. However, at times I feel like i'm losing too much too fast. I have currently hit my goal weight of 165 lbs.(i'm actually 164 lbs.) and before hitting it, I thought of changing it to 145 lbs. I looked at myself in the mirror this morning and didn't recognize the reflection that was looking back at me, because I hadn't taken the time to really really look at myself before today. Anyone else going through this?

Here's my before and after (7mos post Vsg)

Yep! Men's ultra mega for me, but same idea :)

First is one year face to face. Second is my heaviest vs my lowest weight.

I’ll second the GNC chewable multis. Cherry flavor is totally palatable. Those, vit D gummies, and sublingual B12 are my daily regimen.

Killing it Bro. You look GREAT!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!

Well, almost exactly 6 months post op (VSG 6/1) I weigh less than 200 pounds for the first time since...since I don’t know! College probably?
Feel great, no longer stressed about getting my Protein. At the gym 2 or 3 days a week, actually enjoy working out! Down 86 pounds, 10 inches in my waist (size 46 to 36), no longer snore, and have so much more confidence. My wife and kids are proud of me, for the hard work I’ve done and continue to do, and for taking care of myself. I’m off all meds, only taking Vitamins (instead of 2 blood pressure meds). My work is scheduling new professional photos for me because I don’t look like the person in my old pics anymore.
I always figured I’d be obese forever because I lacked willpower’s. I kinda figured this would fail too, despite my best efforts. But VSG does work - at least, it sure has for me!

Welcome to Onederland!!!! WHOOHOOOOO!!!!!

I hope someday myself to make it to Onederland, still have a ways to go, but I also have come pretty far so I have faith I will someday be there, 2019 May just be my year to SHINE!

Congratulations

Karl A, my surgeon gave me an estimate of 210. I'm sure he'll be glad I proved him wrong, and I'm not done yet either!

That's just some product endorsement going on there. I usually don't suggest going against what your Dr. says but there's no reason why you can't try a different brand that will go down better as long as it does the same thing. Premiere is probably the #1 premixed Protein Drink purchased by WLS patients in the U.S.
