ONEderland!!!!



Recommended Posts

I just weighed at am in ONEderland for the first time in about 20 yrs!! I have always been very overweight. I wore a size 24/26 from Lane Bryant in 5th grade. I have never known what it is like to be a normal weight or wear clothes that were age appropriate for me. Before my PreOp diet I was 326lbs. The day of surgery I was 300lbs. I am now at 199lbs! I would still like to lose another 50lbs but dont know if that is out of reach. I have a fair amount of excess skin and dont have the finances to have cosmetic surgery. I am so thrilled to be out of the 200's! This was a milestone in my life that I never thought I would see. I am 29 yrs old, I wasted my teens and twenties being super obese. My 30's and on will be at a healthy weight. LapBand has saved my life! I feel like I could jump high enough to reach the clouds today!!

This is ONEderful!

I'm so happy to see younger people having this surgery. I gained my weight with my kids and have been huge for 25 years. You've done the right thing taking care of the problem while you are still young. I've sat on the sidelines the whole time my kids were growing up and they only know me as fat.:huh:

Congratulations on taking control! Now you can really LIVE!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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... :(
