I just read about the meaning of Onederland and I have been in this place for a while, so HAPPY. I'm,186 this morning so I have lost 29 pounds since surgery December 17. I think that is slow compared to some of the post I've read on here but I'm happy to be losing. I didn't measure myself before this journey started but I know I have last tons of inches because none of my clothes fit...YAY!!! Thank God for this surgery.

lost 29 pounds- surgery December 17. slow compared to others?????

lady

WooHoo on becoming one of the latest and greatest new members of "onederland" :)

never, ever, never compare your weight loss/time period to anyone elses in sleeveland :angry:

people have been shot for less :lol:

the expression on the board is..............

"the one thing we have in common is that we're all different"

the "average"/good amount of weight loss in a month (per Nielson's poll) :lol:

is 10lbs

dropping 29 lbs in 6 weeks in NOT slow :)

terrific, terrific :rolleyes:

trust me!!!!!

would i lie to you ;)

its great to see that you are losing inches by the way your clothes feel/fit :)

but....you might want to measure yourself today, and again in 2-3 weeks etc

keep records of those inches all over

these #s are especially nice to see when you might not have lost any weight in a while/stalled - but your inches are dropping

you are doing great :)

keep up the good work for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer life :)

kathy

congrats

Congrats, stay focus,walk, walk, walk and sip your Water. GasX strips worked good for me, ice pops were good too and a heating pad for my stomach was great.

That first week was so hard for me, but everyone is different so I hope this will be a breeze for you.

Wish you so much success with your new life.

What is Onederland?

It is when you have come out of the 200, 300 and you are finally in the 100...it could be 199, it's still onederland...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.
      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? 🤷‍♀️
