Waiting to get in to onederland



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 2nd June this year and I am waiting patiently to drop into onederland I have 5 lbs to go!!! I am so excited I cannot even remember when I saw that kind of weight it was so long ago.

My journey since June has been amazing, the weight hasn't dropped off me quickly it has been slow and steady.

I was anxious at first when I would read about how much people would lose, I would compare myself to everybody on the boards.

Now I am chilled I just listen to my own body, I weigh myself once a week and if I am the same I don't stress I know it will come off.

I have lost 58 lbs since surgery and 75lbs since April! How awesome is this

I have about 60lbs left to lose and I expect it could take another year-will I get to 145 who knows

Postive things about weight loss surgery

I am more agile and less clumsy

I can fit into airplane seats and the belt is loose

My clothes look so much better on me

I can feel bones

I fit into normal clothes

I have gone from a size 22 to a size 14!

Congratulations! I recently rode in an airplane and was also shocked at the room to spare. Isn't that fascinating?

I've also had slow, but steady weight loss since my surgery June 12th. For the longest time, I didn't really believe I would see onederland, but this morning the scale read 210- and I can see it coming! I'll be so happy when that number on the scale starts with a 1- and just think we go to the doctor and they no longer have to slide that bar over to the 200 mark!

I had surgery May 15th this year. I was 305 day of surgery and 328 when I started the liquid diet 3 weeks before surgery. Today I am 215! Onederland is so close! I haven't been there since sometime in the 1990's. I am beyond thrilled and know that this is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself! I have gone from a size 26 to a size 16. I look and feel so much better. And out in the world people actually treat me better (which is a reflection on society and not me) but whatever - I will take it! I move easier, can wear heels again, things don't ache like they used to, and I can actually run again. I couldn't be happier!!!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
