trust me, I understand, i've been at 201 for the past 2 months (during Halloween/Thanksgiving I fluctuated about 2lbs, now the scale finally dropped below 201), i'm happy as a clam, I want ONDERLAND so bad I can taste it...and hopefully it doesn't have any calories! I know once the Holidays are all done, i'll be fine as when sugar is around I tend to graze, but once it's gone I drop (slowly but steady) but when it's around i'm happy to just maintain! Good luck and I know we'll both be there by the NEW YEAR so just enjoy. :ohmy:

Congrats Brandy!!!!

What a great way to start off Christmas Eve!

Unfortunately, for me I keep losing and gaining that same 1-2 lbs, this morning I was 202. Bah Ham Bug:-) I know I will get there before the end of the year. Then on to my next goal to weight less than my husband 184ish (which I haven't been for about 5 years) by May 1st.

Once again great job...what thread are you going to post to now that you are already living life in ONEDERLAND?!?!?

Wow sounds like we have the same name (Great name I might add) Same weight, and same husband.. Omg now im freaked out lol.

I went back and forth from 200-202 for weeks then this morning BAM 199. I own it and never looking back haha. I wanted to get to 199 for xmas and nothing like waiting till the last minute eh? I did it. My next goal is the same as yours (I am creeped out jk) I want to be 184ish because that's what my DH is... he goes from 182-186 depending on the day lol. I haven't been less than him since we have been together for 8 years.. That is going to be an awesome day too. Hopefully it won't be that far away either. Were going to Kuaui in February and I can go under 200!!!

Happy New Year All! Well I have good news and I have bad news....bad news first...I didn't make my goal of Onderland by the end of 2008! HOWEVER, I weighed in at 200.00! So even one ounce more and i'm below 200!! Today i'm going to focus on Water, exercise and not weigh myself for a few days (I seem to have contracted a cough over New Years-my husband said it was because I was kissing everybody which is soooo not true, I kissed two other guys and only because they didn't have anyone to kiss at midnight! So first I kissed my husband and then I gave two other sweeties little pecks and wished them a happy 2009) I really don't think such a sweet gesture could possibly have made me sick, I must have gotten it somewhere else...hm..

Wish me luck on the loss of another ounce (at least) over the course of this week.

Seven lbs away! But I just got a fill so maybe I can do it soon. But I started at over 300, so it will so nice for the scale number to start with a 1, not a 2, or a 3. Can't wait!

I am still at a stall. I will have a fill on Monday so maybe that will do the trick. Something has just gotta give!

I always dropped about 2 pounds suddenly on every fill. I tell myself it's not the fill itself, I could probably do the same thing by not eating for 24 hour, just having one Protein Shake for the entire day I sip on off an on. I usually dont feel like eating right after the fill, and only allowed black coffee when I wake up and its a 5 hour round trip to my fill doctor.

I think you will drop with the fill, I did each time. I thought Id never get below 200 either, that was a hard weight to break below, then 80 was another one I stuck at, been in this 2 lb range for about 3 weeks too. I also plan a day of baked salmon when I get stuck, I nibble on all day. The extra Protein in salmon works for me. Or I have a shake for lunch which seems to work well for me. I up the protein to get out of a stall. I can eat a pound or so of salmon in a day which is obviously 1500 - 1700 calories, but it jumps my weight loss within 48 hours every time. I lost 9 lbs pre surgery, so I started in the 240s. You can break out of this stall too, just keep pushing the protein.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
