As I know my onederland goal is just around the corner I thought I should make one last success story post in my 200's. Yesterday I weighed in at 200.5 lbs and my goal was to reach onederland by my 31st birthday on July 23rd. I know that goal will be obtained and I can't wait to take a picture of the scale. I have been in the 200s for atleast 4 years now and prior to that I only briefly visited onederland thanks to the drug Adipex. I am happy to report my stats as of this point as 70.5 lbs lost since mid Feb when I started the pre-op diet. My clothing size has changed from size 24 to 16. Every other aspect of my life has been affected by this wonderful weight loss from my relationship with my husband (intimacy is much better) to my social life to my work as a nurse to the things I can do with my 3 year old. My surgeon is very impressed with my progress and at my 3 month post-op visit he said I am ahead on the weight loss and losing more than a gastric bypass patient who is 3 months out from surgery. He said he expects that I will lose 100 lbs by the time I am 6 months post-op in Sept. Doesn't that sound unreal...but it happens with this wonderful tool we have been given. Now, my next major goal has nothing to do with me...but my two morbidly obese sisters who I am hoping will begin their weight loss surgery journeys soon with my influence. So, goodbye for now and see you when I am in onederland!

I attached a girls night out photo...I am the blonde on the left. Also, the other photo was taken just before surgery.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
