i REALLY needed to read all your entries tonight. Thanks for the laughs and encouragement. I ate 5 choc chip Cookies and other stuff I shouldn't have tonight. I am almost 3 weeks banded and have until March 4 for my 1st fill. So I felt like I could eat whatever I wanted to. Dang it! But I have stopped beating myself up and tomorrow is another GOOD day! This is such a good site to go to every night. THANKS AGAIN!!

It's so great to hear all the stories of people making it to "onderland". And for those of you who suggested panties, great idea!!!

Maybe this weekend I will be able to give myself a little treat. :thumbdown:

Hi... I'm now 6 pounds away from Onederland! I bought myself a Pandora Bracelet just before I started on my Lapband journey. I have charms for each 5, 10 and 25 pounds I lose. In the future, I'm hoping to fill the bracelet!

I am looking for a charm bracelet! I'd like the first charm to be the $ sign as we paid cash, its a hard one to find.

Oh I can chime in here, I hit Onederland TODAY!!! 199 officially and I am so psyched as this was my goal since Christmas.

I was banded on 6/9/09 and had a starting weight of 265, surgery weight of 248 and am now 199. I have gone from a 22/24 to a solid 14. I was a 16 at Christmas. Last weekend Mike and I went to Busch Gardens and this weekend I am supposed to go to Disney World. LOTS of walking. My shirts have gone from a 2x to a L and I am so happy. I have not been 199 since 1991, when my youngest daughter was born. And at the time I wore a 16. I haven't worn a 14 since the day I got married in 1987 to my ex. Somewhere I have the jeans I bought for my honeymoon, I will have to look for them, and see how they fit now. They were giving away t-shirts at the fair last week, and of course they were all size L, well I took one for Mike and he grabbed one for me, I didn't realize it until we got home. I told him I guess you have 2 now, he said why it will fit you. I was laughing and said yeah, nice thought. IT FIT. I was so happy. Last weekend while in Tampa and it was raining we went shopping, I did the new bra and underwear dance there. from a 44 to a 38, yes I am happy with the new bra size, and now my panties are an L instead of a 11. WHOO HOOO

Thinneranniesoon,

Congrats...That is an exciting thing to get into size 14. My stomach is still too flabby for size 14 jeans. But, I did buy size 14 with a elastic waste. I am also, in a 38 bra. I have treated myself to Victoria secret at Christmas. They are almost too big. My husband is happy, he always wanted me to loose. I weighed at 189.8 this morning. I go for "official" weigh in on Wed. PS:My daughter had her surgery, too, and she got into her 14 jeans. So, she would be awfully disappointed if I did, too!:angry:

I have a pair of my oldest daughters 13/14's that she was going to get rid of, and I put them on today, one more inch and I will be able to wear them. We only see each other every couple of weeks, and she is now trying to lose also, because she is into 15's and not too happy. AND she was asked to be Maid of Honor at her best friends wedding in September.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
