Finally hit Onederland!! Down 100 pounds



Recommended Posts

Since it is snowing and I can't scream from my roof, I thought I would "scream" in this forum. Only people who have experienced this procedure and are on this journey can really appreciate all the effort that losing weight via the band! (and f%$# those people that say "its the easy way out) I never anticipated all the emotions I would go through and I will say the emotional part of this journey has been harder then the physical part. But I am now down 100 pounds as of today!!!

As I was reflecting about this, I have been dealing with that number in my head--I never thought I was that heavy before and remember arguing with my GYN that his scale was wrong. I'll never forgot the look on his face--can I say DENIAL???? Even visiting my surgeon for this band I was still not owning my weight. What world was I living in?

In my Fellowship every Sunday we do "joys and sorrows" for members that have either. So, my joy today is that I am down 100 pounds and my sorrow is that I let myself get into that weight in the first place. However, I can't live in the past and need to move forward on my lifestyle change. (I hate the word diet because it implies depreviation) 15 more pounds to go to get to goal and if I lose more after that great, if not, remaining at a consistant weight more than a few months will make me happy! (since that never happened in the past)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
