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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
