Onederland Finally! It's Been A Long Long Time.....



Recommended Posts

Today I finally weighed in at 199! I am so flipping ecstatic, I can hardly contain myself. I had surgery on 8/15/11 and I think I have been losing slowly or slower than I want too but my results are inching along. I make sure to take my measurements monthly and that helps with the slower weigh in numbers because I see results monthly in my measurements.

My goal was to be under 200 on my 37th birthday on 12/17/11 so I am happy that I met that goal early. My next goal is to be 189 by 1/4/12. My husband should be home from Afghanistan around 1/5 and I think that will be an awesome surprise for him! We have skyped but I sit at the computer so he doesn't see the whole me. I really want him to be surprised when he gets home. I can't wait!

I really try to stay on program and get in all of my Protein. I am supposed to get in 65 grams a day and most days I make that goal and if not I always get at least 50 grams. For my last labs my only Vitamin low was Vitamin A so I added that to my Vitamins this month. I feel great and am not tired at all. I do exercise at least three times a week. Twice a week I workout at the gym for 50-55 minutes while my kids are in Tai Kwon Do class and usually do cardio, elliptical or treadmill. Then on the third day I do a lunch hour class at work that rotates weekly between hustle dances and kickboxing. When my husband comes home I hope I can up my exercise to 5 days a week but for now I do what I can.

I am so happy that I am finally out of the 200's. I can't really remember the last time I have been in the 100's. I love my sleeve!

Thank you everyone. I don't think I would have been here if it weren't for these support boards. They helped me choose the sleeve and are a lifeline for me.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
