Countdown to Onederland!



Recommended Posts

Linda, funny you should post that. I have signed up to run a 5k and I just finished my 3.2 miles on the treadmill. I am fixing to eat some edamame, and my scales said 198.0 this morning. I am celebrating a little differently this time!! BTW, this may be TMI, but I feel so attractive today...maybe even sexy. LOL DH is giving me "the look" again. Our 13th anniversary is Monday. I dare say it will be the best one in several years.

Renewed that is great news!!! I am also a pretty darn happy camper this morning! I woke up and weighed in at 199.4!!!!!!!!! The first time in 15 years I have been under 200! I couldn't wait to finally post on here!

Congrats to all of you for making it to Onederland! I am currently stuck just a few pounds away...it was my TOM last week so I was up 1-2 lbs; I'm very consistent with sticking to my diet, so I know it's not my eating. I've been out walking in this beautiful weather and did some raking over the weekend too. I'm hopeful that this week I'll get back to some progress! I really can't wait to see that number on the scale!

Is it too early to join you?

I was banded in July of last year and I would like to try and be in onederland by my bandiversary. So, that is 2.5 months away...

I'm currently at 237lbs....what do you think? Probably not possible, but I am going to give it everything I have. What an amazing accomplishment that would be...so...38lbs to get there...divided by 2.5 months...approx 10 weeks...means a loss of 3 lbs per week (plus two)...that way sounds like it is doable.

I started at 338 and and just reached 100lbs down after 9.5 months....

I love this band!!!

So...can I join you?

I feel like I'm getting out of the barely in onederland stage. You know, where each morning you hope that you haven't added Water weight or TOM comes and you're back over 200. Now that I'm at 193 I think I have finally kissed the 200's goodby. What a onederful feeling!!

renewed hope:

I got so excited when I hit Onederland and since then I've been see-sawing back and forth 199, 200, 199, 200. I'm hoping that I can push it down to 197 so that I don't kick back up to 200 ever again.

Congratulations on 193. I'm jealous.:wink2:

Rainer:

I've seen your full pics on the before & after thread. I would have sworn that you were under 200 already.

You look great.

You'll be there before you know it.

Take care.

Sue

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
