Countdown to Onederland!



Recommended Posts

I have been looking forward to onderland for a while now. My scale will move a whole bunch at once, and then nothing for a week or two. Well the last couple days it has moved me closer to 199! I really wanted to be there by Thanksgiving but I dont think that is going to happen now. We will see though, I am stepping up my work outs and really being careful with my food. 6 lbs to go!!! I think I want to treat myself to something when I get there but cant decide what. Maybe I will highlight my hair or something. What did you all do?

That would be a great Christmas present, Mcgreen--and so would having lost almost 100 lbs. Good for you!

thanks! I haven't been below 200 since 1991! Hopefully it will happen!

you can do it! I've got a reward picked out - a new TV! Something to pamper yourself sounds like a great idea

I was banded on 11/1. Is it too soon to join the countdown to onederland? I can easily see it as I was in Onederland just 3 years ago. The past few years have been rough with the ilnesses and loss of my parents. I also have 2 children at home. Somehow with all of the stress and lack of sleep, I managed to gain 50 more pounds. After trying unsuccessfully to get it off for the past year, I joined the bandwagon. I lost 15lbs before surgery by starving and 10 since. Gas pain and generally feeling lousy after surgery makes it easy to stick to the liquid. Now I'm hungry. Anyway, I hope to cross the bridge into Onederland by New Years. Not sure if that's realistic but I'm going to shoot for it!

I am with you all...199 by Thanksgiving! (and then keep it there after thanksgiving, HA!)

Just a thought, and I wonder how many of you would feel the same...in the past, Halloween was usually my gateway to a solid weight gain through the holidays. NOT ANYMORE!!! Feels so good.....

Keep up the great work everyone!

200.0 I can't get any closer. 0.000000000001 pounds to go. If only my scale weighed to that! Maybe tomorrow, but definetly by thanksgiving. You are all doing great. I had to get a total unfill yesterday cause I didn't chew properly a few days ago and everything is agitated and irritated, so I am going to have to get to and stay in onederland with will power! Wish me luck.

      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!
