Road to Onederland Challenge!



Recommended Posts

Well, I'm off on vacation to Florida -- land of too many cocktails and big lunches -- augh! Hopefully I will be so busy I won't over do it! I'll check in when I get back, and hopefully that ticker will stay the same!!! Good luck ladies!

Seppi, I go for a fill on thursday as well. In my journey to be 190 by the deadline I have hit a small NSV. I bought a shirt at Walmart that was on clearance for $3. I love this shirt, and I couldn't wait to wear it. It is a size 16/18, and it did fit when I bought it, but it looked bad on me. I have big hips and I had a roll in the area of my surgery that I think was there before surgery as well. Anyway, I have put this shirt on 3 or 4 times and taken it off because it didn't look right. This morning however, I tried the shirt again and guess what! It actually looked ok! The roll in my surgery area was significantly smaller! I was so excited that I couldn't wait to come on here and share my NSV. Also, my scale yesterday read 195.6 lbs. I am not going to count it as a lb lost until I see it again, but it was good to see, LOL.

Ok, I'm done :biggrin1:

I go for a fill on Tuesday of next week. I've been at a stand-still for almost 2 weeks and hope that this will jump start the weight loss again. I also noticed that I'm extremely hungry 2 hours after I eat. Good luck everyone!

How is everyone doing? I'm sorry - I've been ignoring this thread because it's been too depressing to watch the scale go up and see how far I am from Onederland. I am reading and cheering you guys on though! I haven't given up, but I need a fill sooooooo badly. You guys are doing great - keep up the good work!!

OK, so here I am in Florida and I was worried about gaining weight -- yeah, better not happen since all I can eat are liquids! I had read the thread about being tighter after flying and never thought it would happen to me....well it has. I've been here for over 3 days and last night was the first time I ate solids without a PB! Maybe all we needed to hit Onederland was a vacation!!! Sure is different from the old days -- going on vacation and trying to find enough time on the trip to be sure to visit all the restaurants you wanted to try before you have to go home! Now all I am worried about is whether they have Soup on the menu! LOL! Good thing the margaritas slide by! I think I can do this vaca without a gain....hell, maybe I'll even lose!

I had another NSV today. I put on a pair of tan pants that were tight on me before surgery and now they are comfortable. I didn't think a 10 lb loss could feel so good! Here are pics of me at 8 days post op, the swelling at this point was minimal. Also a pic of my at 5 weeks and 2 days. (wearing the shirt mentioned in my last post.

Sorry I tried and tried to get the first pic to be the same size as the second but nothing worked. I can see a small difference in my girth.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
