Onederland! I Finally Made It!!



Recommended Posts

Woot Woot! Just wanted to share my victory -- I NEVER thought I would ever weigh less than 200 pounds (I weighed 200 pounds in high school)!! I am 196 as of this morning -- what a blessing the lap band has been.

It is not always easy, but it is totally worth it. It changed my life. I started at 270 pounds 10 months ago, I was on all kinds of medicine and diabetic -- seriously insulin resistant (requiring insulin injections 3 times a day) but last week my doctor took me off ALL OF MY diabetes medicine! I was a size 24/26 and now I am a 14!

75 pounds down and counting...

I love these type of posts!

Looking at your history, it appears you and I are on the same track, from starting weight to the reversed diabetes, to the weight loss.

Congratulations! It is plenty to keep you motivated. I have said many times that it just keeps getting better and better!!!

I remember the feeling that I could never be below 200, and that in itself would be a dream!

NOW it is but a distant memory and I am starting to consistently weigh in below 190.

To all the Newbies out there.....PATIENCE!! Don't get hung up over how much weight you may or may not be loosing 2 weeks after surgery!

YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHIN YET!

Congratulations for reaching that goal. It is amazing when the scale starts with a 1, instead of a 2. You are doing great. Keep on and you will succeed. Karen

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
