I had another fill today and am hoping that this one brings restriction. I'm on fluids for today and will start solids tomorrow so time will tell if this adjustment did the trick. Count me in for the Valentine's challenge.

what is TWOterville?

Welcome!!

Twoterville is being in the 200's. Most of us started this thread while we were either trying to get back into the 200's or had just barely made it there. But, we're friendly so anyone can join us!

The same goes for Onderland...that's for people in the 100's. One day I hope to move into Onderland, but for now I'm a happy resident of Twoterville.

They're just silly names for celebrating where we are on the scale!

How is everyone doing on the valentines day challenge? I was down 3 lbs and bumped back up 3. I'm back on the wagon again today and getting a fill on Thursday. Keep me posted.

Hi Julie! I'm doing well on the challenge, thanks for asking us all. The scale was nice to me this morning, so I'm on my way. 12 lbs to go, though that's pretty aggressive for the rate at which I lose these days. We'll see. I'm trying my hardest!

My last fill seems to be working and the scale is moving downward. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this restriction lasts.

Okay, so maybe my goal was a little high in such a short time period. But, hey, I'll give it a shot.

You can do it, losingjusme! Twoterville is a great place to be! They day I hit it was the happiest day of banded life so far. I think it was more important that Onederland will be (though only time will tell). I can't wait to hear all about it from you. Come on across the border! You can do it!

(Fran, Twoterville is the state of being in the 200s i.e. going from 300 to 299 -- Onederland is the state of being in the 100s)

Urghh..I haven't been getting my emails to tell me someone posted to this thread. I figured we couldn't have been that quiet so good thing I logged on to see if there's been any new posts! Weird, I don't know what happened to those emails?!

Anyway, tomorrow is Wednesday which means "check in" day. We will have just completed week 1 of 6!! I can't wait to see what the scale says...I've been trying to be good!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
